创纪录的天然气价格或将加速北溪2号的启动

　　中国石化新闻网讯 据管道&天然气杂志网9月14日莫斯科报道，据分析师周二表示，欧洲创纪录的天然气价格可能会加速俄罗斯北溪2号(Nord Stream 2)管道向德国输送燃料。

　　俄罗斯天然气工业股份公司（Gazprom）上周表示，已完成该管道建设，德国能源监管机构表示，在收到所有必要文件后，需要四个月的时间完成运营认证。

　　这条管道将帮助莫斯科绕过乌克兰，将天然气输送到欧洲市场，使其每年经波罗的海的天然气出口量翻番，达到1100亿立方米，约占俄罗斯向西方天然气管道出口总量的一半。

　　欧洲急需天然气，尤其是在冬季来临之前，该地区的天然气价格已经创下历史新高。

　　周二，荷兰TTF天然气中心的现货价格超过了每兆瓦时66欧元，或每1,000立方米超过800美元，由于欧洲的地下天然气储存水平较低。

　　惠誉高级董事德米特里·马林琴科（Dmitry Marinchenko）表示，德国监管机构……可能会以最快的方式发布所有必要的许可证。

　　俄罗斯天然气工业股份公司8月份表示，北溪2号到今年年底可输送56亿立方米天然气。

　　9月13日更新的Bundesnetzagentur天然气监管机构网站表示，认证北溪2号的四个月期限从9月8日开始。

　　Record Gas Prices Could Hasten Nord Stream 2 Launch, Analysts Say

　　Record gas prices in Europe could hasten clearance for fuel supplies via Russia's Nord Stream 2 pipeline to Germany, analysts said on Tuesday.

　　Russia's Gazprom last week said it had finished construction of the pipeline and Germany's energy regulator has said it has four months to complete operating certification after receiving all necessary documents.

　　The pipeline, which would help Moscow to bypass foe Ukraine in transiting gas to European markets, doubles its annual gas export capacity via the Baltic Sea to 110 billion cubic meters, about half of Russia's total gas pipeline exports to the West.

　　Europe is hungry for the gas, particularly with prices in the region having hit record highs ahead of winter.

　　Spot prices in the Dutch TTF gas hub exceeded 66 euros per megawatt hour, or more than $800 per 1,000 cubic meters, on Tuesday amid low levels of underground gas storage in Europe.

　　"The German regulator ... will probably try to issue all the necessary permits in the fastest possible way," said Dmitry Marinchenko, a senior director at Fitch.

　　Gazprom said in August that Nord Stream 2 could deliver 5.6 billion cubic metres of gas by the end of the year.

　　The Bundesnetzagentur gas regulator's website, which was updated on Sept. 13, said that the four-month period to certify Nord Stream 2 started on Sept. 8.
