Our sector in France

France is one of the leading energy importing and consuming countries in Europe. French oil production represents a very small share of national consumption, around 1%. It is in this context that Bridge Energies produced 0.47% of the national production and 0.78% of the production of the Paris Basin in 2021.

Regulations

Bridge Energies is committed to strict compliance with the environmental requirements. Its seriousness has earned it the lease and drilling authorisations necessary for its activity.
