    中国石化新闻网讯 据离岸工程网站12月23日消息 据丹麦海事监管机构称,由俄罗斯领导的北溪2号财团预计将在丹麦海域开始铺设天然气管道,此前该财团的建设已暂停一年。

    北溪2号的设计目的是将现有的从俄罗斯到德国的北溪天然气管道的输送能力翻一番,成为莫斯科和华盛顿之间争论的焦点,美国寻求削减欧洲对俄罗斯能源的依赖。

    美国还计划增加本国海运液化天然气对欧洲的销售。

    据丹麦海事管理局网站12月22日发布的消息,丹麦海事局已于1月15日发布了波罗的海海床北溪2号天然气管道铺设工程的通知。

    该公司说,福图纳号船只将执行管道铺设工作,并将得到建筑船波罗的海勘探者号和穆尔曼号以及其他供应船的协助。

    本月工程恢复后,福图纳号目前正在管道德国区的浅水区铺设管道。

    北溪2号财团将问题提交给监管机构的网站。一位发言人说:“我们无法提供施工细节。”

    由俄罗斯天然气巨头Gazprom牵头的财团尚未铺设100多公里的管道,年输气能力550亿立方米,不过90%以上的项目已经完成。

    瑞士-荷兰公司Allseas于2019年12月暂停铺设管道,让俄罗斯利用自己的资源建设这条长1230公里的管道。

    俄罗斯天然气工业股份公司在该项目中的西方合作伙伴包括德国Uniper、巴斯夫Wintershall Dea、壳牌、奥地利OMV和法国能源公司Engie。

    Nord Stream 2 to Start Laying Gas Pipes in Danish Waters

    The Russia-led Nord Stream 2 consortium is expected to start laying gas pipes in Danish waters after construction was suspended for a year, according to a Danish maritime regulator.

    Nord Stream 2, designed to double capacity of the existing undersea Nord Stream gas pipeline from Russia to Germany, has become a bone of contention between Moscow and Washington, with the United States seeking to cut Europe's reliance on Russian energy.

    The United States also plans to increase sales of its own sea-borne liquefied natural gas (LNG) to Europe.

    The Danish Maritime Authority has issued notification of pipe-laying works for the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline on the Baltic Sea bed from Jan. 15, according to a publication on the regulator's website dated Dec. 22.

    It said the Fortuna vessel will perform the pipe-laying work and will be assisted by construction vessels Baltic Explorer and Murman along with other supply vessels.

    The Fortuna is currently laying pipes in the shallow waters of the pipeline's German zone after work resumed this month.

    The Nord Stream 2 consortium referred questions to the regulator's website. "We are not in a position to deliver construction details," a spokesman said.

    The consortium, led by Russian gas giant Gazprom, has yet to lay more than 100km of pipeline with annual capacity of 55 billion cubic meters, though more than 90% of the project has been completed.

    Swiss-Dutch company Allseas suspended the laying of pipes in December 2019, leaving Russia to utilize its own resources to construct the 1,230 km pipeline.

    Gazprom's western partners in the project, which is estimated to cost 9.5 billion euros ($11.6 billion), are Germany's Uniper, BASF's Wintershall Dea, Anglo-Dutch oil major Shell, Austria's OMV and French energy company Engie.
