          ORLEN Upstream specialises in prospecting, exploring and producing from deposits of hydrocarbons (natural gas and oil). The company
        
        
          operates on 27 exploration and appraisal licences in Poland (in Lubelskie, Mazowieckie, Małopolskie, Podkarpackie, Wielkopolskie and
        
        
          Pomorskie provinces) and explores together with partner within 7 licences. We work also in Canada, where we are an important operator
        
        
          in Alberta.
        
        
          In order to carry out its field work, ORLEN Upstream subcontracts specialist companies with extensive expertise in selected exploration
        
        
          and appraisal activities (e.g. seismic tests, drilling, stimulation works). Their representatives would be happy to give you in-depth information
        
        
          on the planned course of their work.
        
        
          In 2009 ORLEN Upstream received two ISO 9001:2008 Quality Management System certificates and
        
        
          an ISO 14001:2004 Environmental Management System for ‘Management of prospecting and produc-
        
        
          tion’. Furthermore, in November 2011 ORLEN Upstream was awarded a CIPS certificate of excellence,
        
        
          which evidences that company’s operations are professional and transparent. In 2012
        
        
          ORLEN Upstream received a HSSE safety systems management certificate in compliance with
        
        
          the PN-N 19001:2004 standard. Five years after receiving a CIPS Certificate, after another detailed
        
        
          audit, ORLEN Upstream got recertification, which confirmed excellence of the purchase process.
