Greenpeace Romania signals possible fluid discharge in Neptun Deep offshore drilling area

The Romanian division of the environmental protection NGO Greenpeace announced on Wednesday, May 20, that satellite images captured a fluid discharge in the Domino perimeter in the Black Sea, a deep-water area where offshore drilling is taking place as part of the Neptun Deep project. According to the organization, the pollution slick stretched for approximately 100 kilometers and covered an area of 45 square km, equivalent to 6,300 football fields.

“Greenpeace Romania raises an alarm regarding the health of the Black Sea ecosystem and the irresponsibility of OMV Petrom and Romgaz, the companies holding the Neptun Deep project. On March 10, 2026, satellite images captured a fluid discharge in the Domino perimeter, a deep-water area where offshore drilling is taking place,” the organization said in a press release.
