00:00Central European Petroleum has announced the discovery of Poland's largest oil deposit in a decade,

00:07located off the country's Baltic Sea coast.

00:11Preliminary figures suggest the site contains 22 million tons of crude oil,

00:16along with 5 billion cubic meters of commercial-grade natural gas.

00:20That would more than double Poland's current estimated oil reserves,

00:24which stood at around 20.2 million tons in 2023.

00:28The find could play a key role in reducing Poland's dependence on imported fossil fuels,

00:34particularly as the country looks to strengthen its energy autonomy.

00:38Nevertheless, experts told Euronews the discovery will not shake up the European energy balance,

00:43although it will likely fuel investment into oil discovery in the Baltic Sea.
