In partnership with the British-based JKX Oil & Gas and with the Bulgaria-based Balkan Explorers the company search for oil and gas near the Provadia.[3]
In May 2010, Overgas announced that it will not prolong a supply contract with state-owned Bulgargaz to provide one billion cubic meter of natural gas per year, and instead of this will deliver gas directly to consumers.[1] In return, Bulgargaz claimed that Overgas gained over US$140 million in the 1998–2010 period from the difference in the selling price to Bulgargaz and purchase price from Gazprom. According to Bulgargaz, as a monopoly to import natural gas from Gazprom, Overgas does not have any actual competition on the Bulgarian market.[4]
