據(jù)管道新聞網(wǎng)5月12日消息稱(chēng)，意大利天然氣集團(tuán)Snam已與西班牙Enagas達(dá)成協(xié)議，探討在兩國(guó)之間修建一條海上管道。

在歐洲，西班牙對(duì)從美國(guó)等供應(yīng)商進(jìn)口的液化天然氣進(jìn)行再氣化的能力最強(qiáng)，但將天然氣穿越比利牛斯山脈運(yùn)輸?shù)綒W洲一直是個(gè)問(wèn)題。

Snam新任首席執(zhí)行官Stefano Venier在第一季業(yè)績(jī)電話會(huì)議上表示，如果該管道獲批，其年產(chǎn)能將高達(dá)300億立方米。

他說(shuō)：“在海上部署比在地面部署更容易。”他補(bǔ)充說(shuō)，該項(xiàng)目的可行性研究需要三到四個(gè)月的時(shí)間。

Venier表示，該集團(tuán)還將考慮重新啟動(dòng)每年80億立方米的Midcat項(xiàng)目，將西班牙液化天然氣輸送到法國(guó)。

Snam的最大投資者是國(guó)有銀行CDP，它也在尋求購(gòu)買(mǎi)兩艘浮式再氣化船來(lái)處理額外的液化天然氣供應(yīng)。

Venier表示，他預(yù)計(jì)其中一艘船將于明年投入使用，第二艘將于2024年投入使用。意大利目前只有三個(gè)液化天然氣終端。

Snam Signs Deal to Study Spain-Italy Gas Pipeline

Italian gas group Snam has agreed with Spain's Enagas to explore the construction of an offshore pipeline between the two countries.

Spain has the largest capacity in Europe to regasify imported liquefied natural gas (LNG) from suppliers such as the United States but transporting gas into Europe across the Pyrenees has been a problem.

The pipeline, if approved, would have a capacity of up to 30 billion cubic meters (Bcm) per year, Snam's new CEO Stefano Venier said in a conference call on first-quarter results.

"Being offshore, it's easier to be deployed than on the ground," he said, adding the feasibility study for the project should take three to four months.

Venier said the group would also be looking at a possible relaunch of the 8 Bcm per year Midcat project to carry Spanish LNG into France.

Snam, whose biggest investor is state lender CDP, is also looking to acquire two floating regasification vessels to process extra LNG supply.

Venier said he expected one of the vessels to be on stream next year and the second in 2024. Italy currently only has three LNG terminals.
