据离岸能源11月19日消息，希腊石油和天然气公司Energean已向塞浦路斯共和国当局提交了从2021年开始向塞浦路斯出口和供应天然气的申请。

Energean是位于地中海东部的Karish和Tanin深水气田开发项目的运营商，该项目距离以色列近海约90公里处。

Energean周二表示，在提交申请之前，塞浦路斯能源监管局已经收到了“Karish 至塞浦路斯管道初步开发计划”。

根据该计划，天然气将通过管道从Karish海上区块输送到Energean Power FPSO，再从那里通过管道输送到塞浦路斯的Vassiliko，然后在那里着陆。

从Energean Power FPSO到Vassiliko的管道总长215公里，从以色列近海Karish North气田输送天然气，该气田已发现可采资源达250亿立方米。

总投资约为3.5亿美元，将由Energean出资。塞浦路斯共和国将不承担任何前期费用。只要在批准程序上不出现延误，该项目将允许塞浦路斯共和国从2021年起获得价格具有竞争力的天然气。

Energean公司首席执行官Mathios Rigas表示:“Energean的提议为塞浦路斯共和国提供了一种选择，即在最具竞争力的条件下，尽快改用天然气。该提议的执行将给塞浦路斯天然气市场带来竞争，降低整个经济体的能源成本，并增强供应的多样性和安全性。我们的建议加强了塞浦路斯共和国的规划和供应的安全，因为它是对塞浦路斯政府发起的液化天然气进口程序的补充。我们期望塞浦路斯共和国能从市场为塞浦路斯经济和消费者提供的各种选择中获益。”

Energean files application to supply natural gas from Karish to Cyprus

Greek oil and gas company Energean has submitted to the authorities of the Republic of Cyprus applications to import and supply natural gas to Cyprus, starting in 2021.

Energean is the operator of the Karish and Tanin deepwater field developments located in the Eastern Mediterranean, approximately 90km offshore Israel.

Energean said on Tuesday that the submission of the applications followed the ‘Karish to Cyprus Preliminary Pipeline Development Plan’ that had already been presented to Cyprus Energy Regulatory Authority.

According to the plan, natural gas will be transported through pipelines from the Karish offshore block to the Energean Power FPSO, and from there through a pipeline to Vassiliko, Cyprus, where it will landfall.

The pipeline from the Energean Power FPSO to Vassiliko will have a total length of 215 kilometres and transport natural gas from the Karish North field, offshore Israel, which contains 25 BCM of discovered recoverable resources.

Total investment will be circa $350 million and will be funded by Energean. The Republic of Cyprus will bear no upfront cost. Provided that there will be no delays in permitting procedures, the project will allow the Republic of Cyprus to receive competitively priced natural gas from 2021.

Mathios Rigas, CEO of Energean, stated: “Energean’s proposal offers the Republic of Cyprus the option to switch to natural gas as soon as possible, and under the most competitive terms.

Execution of the proposal will bring competition to the Cypriot natural gas market, decrease energy costs across the economy and result in enhanced diversity and security of supply.Our proposal enhances the planning of the Republic of Cyprus and the security of supply, as it is supplementary to the LNG import procedures launched by the Cypriot Government. We expect that the Republic of Cyprus will take advantage of the options that the market offers for the benefit of the Cypriot economy and the consumers.”
