中國石化新聞網訊 據1月4日offshore energy消息：亞塞拜然已經開始通過跨亞得裡亞海管道(TAP)向歐洲供應商業天然氣。第一批天然氣通過梅倫根諾接入點到達希臘、保加利亞和義大利。
亞塞拜然的天然氣是有史以來第一次通過直接管道連接進入歐洲市場。
在2020年11月15日開始商業運營之後，SOCAR在2020年的最後一天表示，第一批天然氣通過Melendugno與SNAM Rete Gas（SRG）的互連點進入義大利，並通過Nea Mesimvria與德沙法公司的互聯點到達希臘和保加利亞。
這樣，亞塞拜然就可以直接進入世界上最大的天然氣進口國-歐洲天然氣市場。
SOCAR Rovnag Abdullayev總裁表示:「在這具有歷史意義的一天，我們對參與TAP、Shah Deniz-2和南部天然氣走廊項目的合作公司、專家和所有同事深表感謝，他們為亞塞拜然向歐洲市場首次輸送天然氣做出了貢獻。
「作為南部天然氣走廊所有部分的股東，SOCAR為成功完成這一歷史使命而感到自豪」。
TAP的董事總經理Luca Schieppati補充說：「今天對於東道國和歐洲的能源格局而言都是具有歷史意義的一天。 TAP是非洲大陸天然氣網絡的重要組成部分，為能源轉型路線圖做出了貢獻。我們提供了可靠、直接、具有成本效益的運輸路線到東南歐洲國家和更遠的地方。」
SOCAR指出，市場測試的第二階段將於夏季啟動，這一階段將使TAP管道的產能翻一番，達到每年200億立方米。
TAP將天然氣從裏海亞塞拜然的Shah Deniz巨型氣田輸送到歐洲。這條878公裡長的管道與位於基波伊的土耳其-希臘邊境的跨安納託利亞管道(TANAP)連接，穿過希臘、阿爾巴尼亞和亞得裡亞海，最後在義大利南部上岸。
至於輸送天然氣的Shah Deniz油田，其第一階段於2006年開始生產，每年向亞塞拜然、喬治亞和土耳其輸送超過100億立方米的天然氣。
第二階段於2018年投產，峰值時增加160億立方米天然氣產能，使總產能達到260億立方米。

Azerbaijan sends first gas export via TAP pipeline
Azerbaijan has started commercial natural gas supplies to Europe via the Trans-Adriatic Pipeline (TAP). First gas reached Greece, Bulgaria as well as Italy via the Melendugno interconnection point.
For the first time in history, Azerbaijan’s natural gas reached the European market through a direct pipeline connection.
Following the start of commercial operations on 15 November 2020, SOCAR said on the last day of 2020 that first gas reached Italy via the Melendugno interconnection point with SNAM Rete Gas (SRG), as well as Greece and Bulgaria via the Nea Mesimvria interconnection point with DESFA.
With this, Azerbaijan gained direct access to the European gas market – the world’s largest natural gas importer.
President of SOCAR Rovnag Abdullayev said: 」On this historic day, we express our deep gratitude to the partner companies, specialists and all our colleagues, who participated in TAP, Shah Deniz-2, and the Southern Gas Corridor projects, contributing to the first delivery of Azerbaijani gas to the European market.
「As a shareholder in all Southern Gas Corridor segments, SOCAR is proud of the successful completion of this historic mission」.
Luca Schieppati, TAP’s managing director, added: 「Today is a historic day for our project, as well as for our host countries and Europe’s energy landscape. TAP is an essential part of the continent’s gas network, contributing to the energy transition roadmap. We offer a reliable, direct, and cost-effective transportation route to South-East European countries and beyond」.
SOCAR noted that the second phase of the market test enabling the future expansion of TAP, doubling the pipeline’s capacity to 20bcm per year, will be launched in summer.
To clarify, TAP transports natural gas from the giant Shah Deniz field in the Azerbaijan sector of the Caspian Sea to Europe. The 878-kilometre-long pipeline connects with the Trans-Anatolian Pipeline (TANAP) at the Turkish-Greek border in Kipoi, crosses Greece and Albania and the Adriatic Sea, before coming ashore in Southern Italy.
As for the field it is transporting gas from, the first phase of the Shah Deniz field began production in 2006, delivering more than 10 bcm a year of gas to Azerbaijan, Georgia, and Turkey.
The second phase started output in 2018, adding 16 bcm of gas production capacity at its peak to bring total capacity to 26 bcm.
TAP’s shareholding is comprised of BP, SOCAR, and Snam with 20 percent each with Fluxys, Enagas, and Axpo holding 19, 16, and 5 percent, respectively.
