The Zau de Câmpie gas field is a natural gas field located in Zau de Câmpie, Mureș County. It was discovered in 1914, when the first gas extraction fields were created, supplying Târnăveni and Târgu Mureș with natural gas.[1]: 37 The Zau de Câmpie gas field was developed by Romgaz. It began production in 1920 and produces natural gas and condensates.
In 2009, the total proven reserves of the Zau de Câmpie gas field were around 416 billion cubic feet (12 km³), and production was slated to be around 3.6 million cubic feet/day (0.1×105 m³) in 2010.[2] By January 2017, there were 62 active drilling rigs at the site; the reserves of the Zau de Câmpie gas field were estimated at 2.47×109 m3 (87×109 cu ft), and were slated to be depleted by 2029.[3] In July 2018, the Romgaz lease of the gas field was extended until 2027.[4]
