中國石化新聞網訊 據今日油價網站12月16日消息 俄羅斯能源專家向塔斯社表示,北溪2號天然氣管道可能在2021年底開始向德國輸送第一批天然氣。
上周,這條管道的終點德國海岸的工作恢復,鋪管船Fortuna鋪設了一段2.6公裡(1.6英裡)的管道。
惠譽國際石油天然氣評級公司高級主管德米特裡?馬裡琴科向塔斯社表示,恢復鋪設管道的速度將取決於船隻的技術能力,目前仍難以評估。
馬裡琴科說:「理論上,在第一季度末完成建設看起來是一個現實的目標。」
國家能源研究所所長謝爾蓋·普拉沃蘇多夫向塔斯社表示,管道剩餘部分的建設可能需要長達6個月的時間。
兩位專家都認為,俄羅斯天然氣在2021年第四季度左右開始通過北溪2號管道是現實的。
而德國則在關注北溪2號項目的經濟效益。

Russian Analysts: Nord Stream 2 Could Start Gas Deliveries In 2021
The controversial Russia-led gas pipeline Nord Stream 2 is likely to start delivering first gas to Germany by the end of 2021.
Last week, work off the coast of Germany, the endpoint of the pipeline, resumed, with the pipe-laying vessel Fortuna laying a 2.6-kilometer (1.6-mile) section of the pipe.
How fast the resumed pipe-laying will proceed 「will depend on the technical capability of the vessels, which is still difficult to assess,」 Dmitry Marinchenko, Senior Director at Fitch Ratings, Oil & Gas, told TASS.
「In theory, completion of construction by the end of the first quarter looks like a realistic goal,」 Marinchenko said.
Construction of the remaining section of the pipeline may take up to six months, Director General of the National Energy Institute, Sergey Pravosudov, told TASS.
Both experts believe it is realistic for Russian gas to start flowing through the Nord Stream 2 pipeline sometime around the fourth quarter of 2021.
Germany, for its part, is looking at the economic benefits of the Nord Stream 2 project.
