Global energy giant ConocoPhilips has said it is stopping exploration for shale gas in Poland amid unsatisfactory results, the last in a string of major global oil companies to pull out of such projects as early hopes of a gas bonanza in the country have faded away.

The company said on Friday its subsidiary Lane Energy Poland had invested around $220 million in Poland since 2009. It drilled seven wells over its three Western Baltic concessions. However it has not encountered production-level flows of the gas.

"Unfortunately, commercial volumes of natural gas were not encountered," Tim Wallace, ConocoPhillips country manager in Poland said in a statement.
