Sales

Non-regulated sales of gas are made directly from our deposits (rather than via the transmission system). The sales transactions are executed on freemarket terms, and the terms of delivery (including the gas price) are each time individually agreed upon with the customers and vary on a case-bycase basis. Direct sales of gas are not covered by the tariffs approved by the President of Energy Regulatory Authority. The main type of gas sold was nitrogen-rich gas (L) bought by large customers. Sales of high-methane gas (E) outside the transmission system concentrate in south-eastern Poland. They are made mainly to small and medium-sized customers who are located close to the mines and do not have access to the transmission or distribution system. Direct sales enable us to economically use deposits of gas which does not meet the quality standards of gas sold via networks, and to attract customer who otherwise could not be served for technical or economic reasons.

The oil is sold through two main channels:via pipelines under annually renewable contracts (to foreign customers) and by road tankers and railway tank cars (to customers in Poland).
