The state gas companies of Bulgaria and Romania have ended the contract with the companies that previously had to drill into the Danube, because they could not cope with the technical challenges of the terrain. Thus the tender procedure will be resumed. The European Commission has recently requested an extension of the term, during which expenses to the end of 2016 must be adopted. The total cost of the project, which started in 2011 is 24 million euros. Nearly 9 million are provided by the European Commission.
