俄气减少北溪负荷并增加乌克兰的天然气运输

中国石化新闻网讯 据俄罗斯油气网9月16日消息称，俄罗斯天然气工业股份公司增加了通过乌克兰天然气传输系统(GTS)的天然气运输。此前，欧盟法院决定限制对OPAL主干天然气管道的通行能力。

因此，根据斯洛伐克运营商Eustream的说法，2019年9月16日，通过斯洛伐克和乌克兰边境的Velke Kapusany天然气计量站输送天然气的申请增加到了1.547亿立方米。

IHP Nord Stream的西部分配IHP NEL的工作量也在增长。但这还不足以弥补IHP OPAL的损失，IHP OPAL是IHP Nord Stream东部陆地的延续。周末，输气管道的输气量下降了25%，仅略高于2500万立方米/天。IHP NEL的负荷增加了11%(约750万立方米/天)。因此，上周末IHP Nord Stream的负荷下降了1770万立方米/天(按年计算为65亿立方米)。

为了弥补地下天然气储存设施的供应不足，俄罗斯天然气工业股份公司被迫增加了乌克兰管线的负荷。这对俄罗斯天然气工业股份公司来说是无利可图的，因为乌克兰的天然气运输是最昂贵的路线之一，而乌克兰GTS的技术条件还有很多不足之处，这意味着在运输过程中天然气损失巨大。但在向欧洲UGS设施积极注入天然气的情况下，俄气别无选择。

到2019年底，俄罗斯天然气工业股份公司将向其在欧洲的UGS设施输送至少114亿立方米天然气，是2018年水平的两倍多。俄罗斯天然气工业股份公司的欧洲合作伙伴和乌克兰国家石油天然气公司正在积极形成储备。所有这些都是由于2019年12月31日俄罗斯天然气通过乌克兰领土过境的合同到期，新的合同尚未签署。

Gazprom reduces the load of the Nord Stream and increases gas transit through Ukraine

Brussels, Neftegaz.RU. Gazprom increases gas transit through the gas transmission system (GTS) of Ukraine after restricting access to the capacities of the OPAL trunk gas pipeline by decision of an EU court.

So, according to the Slovak operator Eustream, the application for pumping gas through the Velke Kapusany gas metering station, which is the border point between Slovakia and Ukraine, increased to 154.7 million m 3 on September 16, 2019.

The workload of IHP NEL, the western allotment from IHP Nord Stream, is also growing. But this is not enough to compensate for the lost capacity of IHP OPAL - the eastern land continuation of IHP Nord Stream. Pumping through the gas pipeline decreased by 25% over the weekend, to just over 25 million m 3 / day. The load of IHP NEL increased by 11% (by almost 7.5 million m 3 / day). Thus, the load of IHP Nord Stream decreased last weekend by 17.7 million m 3 / day (6.5 billion m 3 in annual terms).

In order to make up for this shortage during the filling of underground gas storage facilities, Gazprom was forced to increase the load on the Ukrainian route. This is unprofitable for Gazprom, since Ukrainian transit is one of the most expensive routes, and the technical condition of the Ukrainian GTS leaves much to be desired, which means large gas losses during transportation. But in conditions of active gas injection into European UGS facilities, Gazprom has no other options.

Until the end of 2019, Gazprom will pump at least 11.4 billion m 3 of gas into its UGS facilities in Europe, which is more than 2 times higher than the level of 2018, and Gazprom’s European partners and Ukrainian Naftogaz are actively forming reserves. All this is done due to the fact that on December 31, 2019 the contract for the transit of Russian gas through the territory of Ukraine expires, and a new contract has not yet been signed.
