石油设备网讯 据ICIS4月15日报道，一位欧盟官员对ICIS表示，欧盟委员会(European Commission)将努力确保乌克兰融入欧盟市场，并支持东欧国家的竞争，以此将北溪-2和土耳其溪项目的影响降至最低。
欧盟委员会能源部副主任Klaus-Dieter Borchardt在接受采访时表示，乌克兰可以通过从乌克兰边境经斯洛伐克至奥地利鲍姆加滕枢纽的四条高压管道中的至少一条，融入欧洲天然气市场。
目前，这四条管道77%的产能被俄气 (Gazprom)预定，但只有60%被使用。
当乌克兰与俄气的运输合同今年到期，俄罗斯的天然气供应可能改道至北溪-2时，这四条管道中的一条可以用于乌克兰与奥地利之间的反向输送。
欧盟委员会、乌克兰和俄罗斯的代表预计将在5月举行三方会谈，讨论2020年后的过境问题。
Borchardt在布鲁塞尔政客组织的“为欧盟能源安全而战”会议期间说，委员会将支持乌克兰向欧洲提供900亿立方米/年的运输能力的观点，而俄罗斯应承诺向乌克兰提供60亿立方米/年的运输能力。
不过，他补充说，乌克兰还必须为俄罗斯的天然气运输不再过境做好准备。
俄罗斯此前曾表示，经由乌克兰的天然气运输将在2019年底停止，并改变北溪-2的天然气运输路线，这将通过波罗的海将俄罗斯与德国连接起来。
Borchardt对俄罗斯明年开始改道北溪-2输油管道持怀疑态度，并指出该管道需要一个过渡期，该过渡期可能持续到2023年。

EU to help integrate Ukraine in the bloc’s gas market – official
The European Commission will work to ensure the integration of Ukraine in EU markets and support competition in eastern European countries as a means to minimise the impact of the NordStream 2 and TurkStream projects, an EU official told ICIS.
Klaus-Dieter Borchardt, the deputy director general of the European Commission’s directorate-general for energy, said in an interview that Ukraine could be integrated in the European gas market through at least one of the four high-pressure pipelines which travel from the Ukrainian border to the Austrian Baumgarten hub via Slovakia.
Currently 77% of the capacity of these four pipelines is booked by Gazprom, but only 60% of it is used.
When Ukraine’s transit contract with Gazprom ends this year and Russian volumes may be rerouted to NordStream 2, one of those four pipelines can be used for reverse flows between Ukraine and Austria.
Representatives of the commission, Ukraine and Russia are expected to hold trilateral talks in May to discuss the future of transit after 2020.
Borchardt, speaking on the sidelines of the “Fight for EU energy security” conference organised by Politico in Brussels, said that the commission would support the view that Ukraine should be able to offer 90 billion cubic meters/year of transit capacity towards Europe, while Russia should commit to transit to Ukraine 60bcm/year.
However, he added that Ukraine must also prepare for a future where Russian transit would be discontinued.
Russia has previously argued that the transit of gas via Ukraine would be stopped at the end of 2019 and volumes rerouted via NordStream 2, which would link Russia to Germany via the Baltic Sea.
Borchardt was sceptical that the rerouting of Russian transit via NordStream 2 would happen from next year, pointing out the pipeline required a ramp-up period, which may last until 2023.
