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.
