In the first part of the article it will be described the situation of natural gas production in Romania. At the same time, the prospects for possible resources in the Black Sea, concession companies and conditions of concession agreements will be analyzed. In the second part it will be presented the gas hubs in Europe which are relevant for the gas export from the Black Sea and in the last part of the paper it will be analyzed the Romania’s opportunities and chances to create a regional gas hub, from the point of view of the necessary conditions, the advantages and competitors.
