Their origin and the processes of accumulation in the earth crust are closely linked to the transformation of the liquid or solid organic matter into the natural gas accumulated in the depths of the earth crust.<br \/>\nUsually associated with oil, natural gas was generated through complex transformations that took place 15-600 million years ago and was considered as an energy resource at the beginning of the 19th century. In time, it has substituted other energy types and resources, currently covering 24% of the global energy demand.<br \/>\nThe presence of natural gas was recorded in Europe, between 1701 and 1750, on the territory of Poland, near the mineral water springs in Blekota, being perceived as gas emanations that looked like \u201cweak flames\u201d.<br \/>\nIn Transylvania, in 1909, the drillings, targeting sodium and potassium deposits, highlighted the presence of natural gas as high pressure accumulations in the earth crust.<br \/>\nRated, at that time, as the fourth gas well in the world, based on its gas flow rate, the well 2 Sarmasel (Mures County) is considered to be the first natural gas well on the current territory of Romania.<br \/>\nIn 1914, after assessing the advantages of exploiting such a reservoir, the well 2 Sarmasel was connected to the first steel pipe for the transportation of natural gas (Sarmasel &#8211; Turda), in order to ensure the supply of gas to certain industrial consumers in Turda, including supply of gas for the street lighting system in Turda, a premi\u00e8re in Europe.<br \/>\nDuring a period of about seven decades, (1909-1935 and 1951-1993), the well 2 Sarmasel provided a volume of 1.4 billion m\u00b3 (10% of Romania\u00b4s current production).<br \/>\nConsidered a Monument of Gas Science and Technology, the well 2 Sarmasel is currently included in the patrimony of S.N.G.N. ROMGAZ S.A., in Medias, a company that has rendered profitable a 100 year experience in the natural gas field. With 6 branches in cities like Medias, Targu Mures, Ploiesti and Bratislava, ROMGAZ exploits 3,600 gas wells, which produce an annual gas volume equivalent to 40% of Romania\u00b4s consumption, and has a storage capacity of over 2.5 billion m\u00b3\/cycle in 6 underground gas storages.<br \/>\nBesides being concerned with finding new natural gas reservoirs and ensuring their continuous delivery, the company focuses on minimizing the negative impact on the environment.<br \/>\nSince the discovery, in 1909, of natural gas on the present-day territory of Romania, rendering profitable the 100 years of experience in the field of gas production and underground storage, ROMGAZ has been a company of high performance and a continuous presence on the natural gas market.<\/p>\n<p>On the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the natural gas discovery on the territory of our country, Romfilatelia introduces into circulation the postage stamps issue ROMGAZ &#8211; 100 years (1909 \u2013 2009).<\/p>\n<p>We bring here special thanks to S.N.G.N.
