BUCHAREST, Sept 7 (Reuters) - Romanian natural gas
storage facilities have been filled to the targeted 90% capacity
ahead of a Nov. 1 deadline, former energy minister Virgil
Popescu said on Thursday.
Unlike other countries in the region, Romania relies less on
Russian gas. It produces about 90% of its required gas locally
through state producer Romgaz ROSNG.BX , oil and gas group OMV
Petrom ROSNP.BX and Black Sea Oil & Gas (BSOG).
