DRILLING  ACTIVITY    

Natural gas industry from our country has its roots deeply anchored in history. The existence of the “never-extinguished fires” in Transilvania Dock is disputed even since XVII century, the first written proof being found not in speciality studies, but in a poem written by Valentin Frank von Frankenstein, in which is the description of a scene where “the water started to burn”(1672).Much later, in 1908, when, by chance, while boring the 2 Sărmaş well hole projected for highlighting the potassium deposit opened the first gas deposit, creating the first premises on deploying an organized activity in the new industry, the natural gases industry.

Based on the favorable results of the exploitation, in 1915 appears the first Methane Gas Society from Transilvania.
1919 – The Methane Gas Direction Cluj is established;
1925 – The National Society of Methane Gas “SONAMETAN” appears, which in 1936 will move it’s office in Medias;
After World War II, “SONAMETAN” becomes a State Enterprise.
1969 – its name changes into The Methane Gas Center Medias.

In this whole period and in the next one, the drilling activity continuously develops and is an integrating part of all above-remembered societies.

In 1983 The drilling Lease Targu Mures was established - unit with juridical personality – on the old structure of Mures-Ernei section of The Drilling Enterprise Medias included in The Methane Gas Center Medias.
It continued its activity under this name until 31st December 1994, when takes place the organizing of the company in a corporation named S.C. FORAJ SONDE S.A. TARGU MURES.
