石油设备网讯 据路透社维尔纽斯4月26日消息称,波兰大型天然气公司PGNiG首席执行官Piotr Wozniak周四表示,PGNiG将对来自以色列的天然气感兴趣,该公司正寻求从俄罗斯天然气转向多元化。
根据一项将于2022年到期的长期协议,PGNiG出售的天然气有一半以上来自俄罗斯天然气工业股份公司。PGNiG已经采取措施减少这种依赖,因为它不打算延长协议。
它已经通过波罗的海的一个码头获得了液化天然气供应,主要来自卡塔尔、美国和挪威。该公司还计划从挪威进口天然气,包括通过计划中的波罗的海管道从挪威进口天然气。
Wozniak告诉路透社“我们希望成为一家位于南北和东西枢纽路口的公司...... 我们需要往南走。那边有我们需要的东西。因此,我们非常仔细地观察了波兰南部的所有地方...... 所以,是的,我们对以色列感兴趣。”
过去10年,在以色列近海和地中海东部海域发现的大量天然气,使以色列成为大型能源公司潜在的有利可图的前景。该地区正在成为天然气勘探和生产的新热点。

Poland's PGNiG eyes gas from Israeli fields
Poland’s dominant gas firm PGNiG would be interested in gas from Israel, its Chief Executive Piotr Wozniak said on Thursday, as the company seeks to diversify from Russian gas.
More than half of the gas sold by state-run PGNiG comes from Russia’s Gazprom based on a long-term deal which expires in 2022. PGNiG has taken steps to reduce that reliance as it does not plan to extend the agreement.
It has secured purchases of liquefied natural gas (LNG) supplies via a Baltic Sea terminal, mostly from Qatar, the United States and Norway. It also plans to import gas from Norway, including its own deposits in Norway via a planned Baltic Pipe pipeline.
“We want to be the company at the crossroads of North-South and East-West... we need something to the south. Something reliable. So we are looking at all those places to the south of Poland very carefully... So yes, we are interested in Israel,” Wozniak told Reuters.
A number of large gas discoveries offshore Israel and in nearby eastern Mediterranean waters in the last decade have made Israel a potentially lucrative prospect for big energy firms. The region is emerging as a new hot spot for gas exploration and production.
