Poland discovers one of Europe's largest oil deposits in a decade
Central European Petroleum (CEP) has announced Poland's largest and one of Europe's most significant conventional oil finds in a decade, located off the central European country's Baltic Sea coast. The breakthrough was made at CEP's Wolin East 1 (WE1) well, some 6 kilometres from the port city of Świnoujście in Poland's northwest. Preliminary figures suggest the WE1 site contains 22 million tonnes of recoverable crude oil and condensate, along with 5 billion cubic metres of commercial-grade natural gas. The broader concession area, spanning 593 square kilometres, is estimated to contain over 33 million tonnes of oil and condensate, as well as 27 billion cubic metres of gas. That would more than double Poland's current estimated oil reserves, which stood at around 20.2 million tonnes in 2023, according to Polish public broadcaster TVP. If confirmed, the discovery would rank as Poland's largest conventional hydrocarbon deposit and among the biggest in Europe in the last 10 years, according to the Polish Press Agency. The well was drilled using a jack-up platform in waters measuring 9.5 metres deep, and reached a total vertical depth of 2,715 metres. 'This is a historic moment for both Central European Petroleum and the Polish energy sector,' said the company's CEO, Rolf G Skaar. 'Wolin East is more than just a promising deposit — it is a joint opportunity to unlock the full geological and energy potential of the Baltic Sea,' he added. The find could play a key role in reducing Poland's dependence on imported fossil fuels, particularly as the country looks to strengthen its energy autonomy, local media reported. 'The discovery of the Wolin East hydrocarbon deposit (...) could prove to be a breakthrough in the history of hydrocarbon exploration in Poland, especially in areas still insufficiently explored, such as the Polish Exclusive Economic Zone in the Baltic Sea,' said Krzysztof Galos, Poland's Undersecretary of State and Chief National Geologist. 'If this discovery is ultimately confirmed, the Wolin East deposit could become the largest deposit of crude oil and associated natural gas ever discovered in Poland,' he added. CEP Central European Petroleum, the company's Polish subsidiary, is overseeing the project. The parent firm, based in Canada and majority-owned by Norwegian investors, was originally established to explore for hydrocarbons in the European Union, with early activities focused on Germany.

Anti-immigration protests sweep Poland (VIDEOS)
Anti-immigration protests were held in around 80 Polish cities on Saturday, according to local media. The largest demonstration reportedly attracted around 3,000 people. The rallies were organized by a political alliance called the Confederation Liberty and Independence. The coalition of right-wing groups has taken a hardline stance against the EU and its immigration policy. Around 3,000 people took part in a protest in the southern Polish city of Katowice, public broadcaster TVP reported on Saturday, citing police sources. According to the channel, most of the protesters were men and many were from football fan clubs. Videos from the scene show protestors waving Polish flags and chanting anti-immigration slogans. Protest przeciwko masowej imigracji. Donald Tusk zjednoczył kibiców. Tak to dzisiaj wyglądało w Katowicach The demonstrators also held a large banner reading: 'Refugees NOT welcome.' 🇵🇱 Poland: 'Refugees not welcomed'Massive protest. About 80-100 cities all over Poland are put aside any Footbal rivalries & stand together against illegal immigration.'This is Poland, not Brussels, here we don't support immigration' Confederation co-chairman Krzysztof Bosak, speaking to a rally in Bialystok on Saturday, accused the EU and NATO ally Germany of sending migrants across the border into Poland. The Polish border patrol is too overworked and undermanned to stem the flow of illegal immigrants, he said. According to local news, some of the protests carried out minutes of silence in remembrance of a 24-year-old Polish woman who died after being stabbed in Torun last month. A 19-year-old Colombian national has been charged with murder. Anti-immigration sentiment in Poland has been on the rise lately. In recent weeks, local Polish community groups have begun to form so-called 'citizen patrols' to block the entry and return of migrants at the country's border, according to local media. Earlier this month, Warsaw reintroduced border controls with fellow EU members Germany and Lithuania, and deployed more troops to the areas to fight the flow of illegal immigration. Poland previously accused Berlin of 'dumping' thousands of migrants across the Polish border.
