Our achievements to date
Exploration and Production
In 2012, PGNiG consolidated its exploration and well services companies within the Group’s Exploration and Production segment. PGNiG Poszukiwania SA (from February 2013, Exalo Drilling SA) was merged with PNiG Kraków, PNiG NAFTA, PNiG Jasło, PN Diament and ZRG Krosno.
In 2013, the number of production facilities was reduced following their merger. The Zielona Góra Branch produces crude oil and nitrogen-rich natural gas at 22 sites, which includes 13 gas production facilities, six oil and gas production facilities and three oil production facilities. The Sanok Branch produces high-methane and nitrogen-rich natural gas and crude oil at 38 sites, including 20 gas production facilities, 12 oil and gas production facilities and six oil production facilities.
Power Generation
PGNiG merged with PGNiG Energia, whose main operations were in electricity trading.
Shares in Elektrociepłownia Stalowa Wola SA, previously held by PGNiG Energia, were transferred to PGNiG Termika, which is the PGNiG Group’s current power generation competence centre.
Sales
PGNiG established the Wholesale Trading Division, which is to be the focus of all wholesale trading processes and will manage the Group’s product mix, i.e. natural gas, crude oil, and electricity. This is to ensure that the Group maintains its competitive edge in the changing market environment.
Distribution
Until the end of June 2013, natural gas distribution had been the business of six gas distribution companies. On July 1st 2013, as a part of the Distribution segment’s consolidation, PGNiG SPV 4 Sp. z o.o. acquired all assets of those six companies, which were transformed into regional branches. The name of the company was then changed to Polska Spółka Gazownictwa Sp. z o.o.
This will allow the introduction of uniform standards and procedures across the Group, which will bring about improvements in distribution costs while further enhancing customer service.
Storage
As part of the Storage segment’s reorganisation, the Mogilno Underground Gas Storage Cavern Facility and Wierzchowice Underground Gas Storage Facility were established as branches of PGNiG, while INVESTGAS was merged with Operator Systemu Magazynowania. The management and supervisory processes in the Storage segment were centralised in OSM, which will have the effect of a long-term improvement in efficiency.
