据阿塞拜疆Trend通讯社2019年5月17日巴库报道，Trend通讯社援引保加利亚能源部的消息报道说，希腊-保加利亚互连管道项目(IGB)的开工奠基仪式将在5月22日在保加利亚的科尔科沃村举行。

据Trend报道，保加利亚总理博伊科·鲍里索夫和希腊总理亚历克西斯·齐普拉斯届时将出席IGB开工奠基仪式。

保加利亚能源部说：“保加利亚和希腊之间的输气管道是欧盟能源市场安全和竞争力的优先项目之一。这个项目在确保向保加利亚和欧洲东南部地区供应多样化天然气方面也非常重要。”

IGB是一条天然气管道，它将使保加利亚能够接收阿塞拜疆的天然气，特别是阿塞拜疆沙赫杰尼兹大气田二期开发项目生产的天然气。IGB预计届时将与跨亚得里亚海管道（塔普管道/TAP）相连，通过TAP，沙赫杰杰尼兹大气田的天然气将输送到欧洲市场。

IGB的初始天然气输送能力将是30亿立方米。

Groundbreaking ceremony for IGB to be held May 22

Groundbreaking ceremony for the Interconnector Greece-Bulgaria (IGB) will be held May 22 in Bulgaria’s Kirkovo village, Trend reports citing Bulgarian Energy Ministry.

Reportedly, Bulgaria’s Prime Minister Boyko Borissov and Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras will attend the ceremony.

“The interconnector between the two countries is one of the priority projects for security and competitiveness of the energy market in the European Union. The project is also extremely important in terms of ensuring diversification of gas supplies to Bulgaria and the Southeast Europe region,” said the ministry.

IGB is a gas pipeline, which will allow Bulgaria to receive Azerbaijani gas, in particular, the gas produced from Azerbaijan's Shah Deniz 2 gas and condensate field. IGB is expected to be connected to TAP via which gas from the Shah Deniz field will be delivered to the European markets.

The initial capacity of IGB will be 3 billion cubic meters of gas.
