Croatia's potential oil reserves estimated at 747 million tonnes, says academician

ZAGREB, March 7 (Hina) - Croatia's potential crude oil reserves are estimated at 747 million tonnes of oil equivalent, and if these reserves are proven this will mean that Croatia can count on 267 million tonnes of oil equivalent in contingent resources, with 184 million tonnes referring to oil, and these potential possessions are an additional reason for Croatia not to lose ownership over its oil and gas company INA, academician Mirko Zelic said in his lecture on Croatia's oil and gas reserves which was held in the Croatian Academy of Arts and Sciences (HAZU) in Zagreb on Thursday evening.
