Romania completes Neptun Deep platform installation, targeting EU gas production leadership

Romania has completed the installation of the Neptun Deep offshore gas production platform in the Black Sea, a confirmed critical milestone for the project. This development is expected to significantly enhance Romania's energy independence and potentially position it as the EU's largest natural gas producer, though the timeline for full commercial extraction remains an uncertainty. Concurrently, Romania is evaluating the deployment of long-endurance naval drones to protect this critical Black Sea energy infrastructure.
