塞浦路斯希望通过航运走廊将地中海天然气出口到欧洲-最新消息

中国石化新闻网讯 据离岸能源网站5月29日报道，塞浦路斯周一表示，塞浦路斯希望通过液化天然气运输船的航运走廊，将本国打造成东地中海天然气资源通往欧洲的门户。

当局现在希望通过管道将天然气从地中海东部的气田输送到岛上，用于国内常规发电，并增加一个液化天然气设施，为欧洲市场加工。

通过该设施，东地中海地区的天然气可以在塞浦路斯液化，并通过液化天然气运输船运输到欧洲市场，从而建立一条向欧洲供应天然气的东地中海走廊。

在过去十年里，东地中海地区发现了一些最大的天然气储量。

2011年，塞浦路斯宣布首次发现天然气，但尚未投产。修建一条2000公里(1243英里)长的管道将东地中海天然气输送到欧洲的计划已经讨论了大约10年。

Cyprus Wants Shipping Corridor to Export Mediterranean Gas to Europe

Cyprus wants to establish itself as a gateway from east Mediterranean gas resources to Europe via a shipping corridor of LNG carriers, its president said on Monday.

Instead, authorities now want to transport, via pipeline, natural gas from fields in the eastern Mediterranean to the island for use in domestic conventional power generation, with an additional LNG facility to process for European markets.

Through this facility, natural gas from the Eastern Mediterranean region can be liquefied in Cyprus and transported by LNG carriers to the European markets, thus creating an East Med corridor of gas supply to Europe,

The east Mediterranean has yielded some of the largest natural gas discoveries in the past decade.

Cyprus reported its first natural gas discovery in 2011, though it has yet to enter production. Plans for a 2,000 km (1,243 mile) pipeline to take eastern Mediterranean gas to Europe had been under discussion for about a decade.
