has exclusive exploration and exploitation rights, subject to certain regulations and according to the mining usufruct agreement. The mining usufruct is established for consideration. The amount of consideration is subject to the mining usufruct agreement and is not predefined by any regulations. Additionally, exploration and exploitation activities are subject to separate fees. A concessionaire may be required to establish collateral, securing any claims resulting from activities performed under a concession (such as a bank or insurance guarantee). The amount of the collateral not is predetermined but caulclated on a case-by-case basis. A concession is transferrable, subject to specific requirements of the mining regulations. The mining regulations allow for cancellation or limitation of the scope of a concession without any compensation, subject to certain conditions. A concession expires within a certain
time limit, or if it becomes obsolete, as in the case of a concessionaire liquidation or in case of a waiver of a concession by the concessionaire. If a bankruptcy of a concessionaire is announced, a concession may be but does not have to be cancelled without compensation. Cancellation or expiration of a concession does not release a concessionaire from its obligations relating to environmental protection or obligations connected with the liquidation of mining activities. Considering the large interest in exploration and exploitation of unconventional gas the government claims that it shall be directly engaged in optimising exploration terms and conditions. Simultaneously, parliamentary works on draft mining regulations are ongoing. The new, proposed mining regulations deal with fees and payments for exploration and exploitation, planning and real estate issues, compensation and indemnification for damages, as well as tax issues.
SPONSORED ARTICLE
CONCESSIONS FOR EXPLORATION of unconventional gas have been obtained by over 20 companies. The concessions cover an area of approximately 50,000 km2, mainly from the Baltic seaside south-east to Lublin, but also in the western part of Poland (Wielkopolskie and Silesia). This article explores general mining and mining-related regulations with respect to the exploration and exploitation of unconventional gas. Unconventional gas, just like other natural resources on Polish terrain, is owned by the State Treasury. The State Treasury is authorised to grant a “mining usufruct” to third parties. The mining usufruct is generally granted after completion of a tender, pursuant to an agreement. Execution of the mining usufruct agreement is directly connected with obtaining a concession. If a concession expires or is revoked, the mining usufruct expires. A beneficiary of the mining usufruct
Forthcoming changes to mining regulations require complex and continuous observation. The new laws may have significant effects on current and future operations.

and unnecessary making of mistakes,” says Prugar. “We’re also looking for financial partners. Not financial institutions but rather well-capitalized North American oil and gas companies. Financing has to come from them because they understand the risks involved,” he says. So with the technology now all but coming to Poland and first encouraging signs coming from explorations of their concessions by Lane Energy or BNK Petroleum, concession holders are only looking forward for more. “At the moment we’re finishing seismic research that will help us fine tune where to start drilling so that we know where the Silurian and Ordovician formations are exactly. We should finish that by mid-2011. We think that the first

“We’re going to need drilling companies, seismic services, firms that will treat produced water, firms selling gas tanks and firms that will buy our gas.” two wells will be drilled towards October or November 2011, by early 2012 latest. Generally, we’re planning to drill six wells by 2013, two wells per each of the concessions that we have,” says Prugar. “We want to finish the seismic research and carry out 2-3 vertical drills by end of 2011. Once we have finished them, we will start fracking, in early 2012. If we’re successful, we will then carry out horizontal drilling and fracking. Production can start anytime, however, but it’s a process that will increase in scale. I think it will take about five years for the Polish economy to feel the impact of shale gas,” says Maj. NEED FOR SERVICES The impact has a chance to be rather profound. It’s enough to take

a look at the scale of services that companies like Talisman Energy or Orlen Upstream are going to need. “Apart from fracking services that only a few companies in the world, like Schlumberger or Halliburton, can offer, we’re going to need drilling services, seismic research services, firms that can treat produced water, firms that will buy gas from us, so that means gas networks or firms offering gas tanks,” says Maj. “Then come all the ‘soft’ services: security, catering, transport, accommodation, and so on. Where there will be no roads for the equipment to go to the drilling site, the roads will have to be built. Finally come legal services, for example we’re using law firms that specialize in working out who owns the land that we’re going to drill and the best ways to secure our access to this land,” he
adds. Assuming there’s indeed gas where companies are looking for it, a market will emerge. The Polish gas market isn’t big today, with gas making about 13 percent of the mix. Coal is dominant. “Once there’s more gas, perhaps coming from shales, a market will be established. It’s not going to happen in a day, of course. It’s a very infrastructure-dependent sector,” says Prugar. “The shape of the market isn’t all up to companies like us. There is already a lot of talk about energy companies interested in development of gas power plants, for example. It’s going to be a process on both sides: information from producers will come over a period of time, so will the business environment be shaped,” Prugar adds.
