希腊总理：希保互连管道能够进一步延长到塞罗两国

据阿塞拜疆Trend通讯社2019年5月23日雅典报道，希腊总理亚历克西斯·齐普拉斯表示：“希腊-保加利亚互连管道”(IGB)计划把阿塞拜疆的天然气输送到保加利亚，这条管道能够进一步延长到塞尔维亚和罗马尼亚两国。

齐普拉斯是在5月22日在保加利亚基尔科沃举行的IGB奠基仪式上说这番话的。

齐普拉斯说：“这条连接希腊和保加利亚的输气管道能够延长到塞尔维亚的IBS(塞尔维亚-保加利亚互连管道)以及通过保加利亚-罗马尼亚互连管道（IBR）延长到罗马尼亚，这将帮助这些国家实现能源多元化路线以及他们的供应来源。”

齐普拉斯指出，能源安全和能源来源多元化仍然是东地中海地区乃至整个欧洲的一项非常重要的优先任务。

跨亚得里亚海管道(塔普/TAP)、IGB管道、垂直走廊、东地中海管道等项目加强了希腊、保加利亚和更广泛地区的经济和地缘政治作用。

IGB是一条天然气管道，它将使保加利亚能够接收来自阿塞拜疆的天然气，特别是阿塞拜疆沙赫杰尼兹-2天然气凝析气田生产的天然气。IGB预计将与TAP相连，通过TAP，阿塞拜疆沙赫杰尼兹大气田的天然气将输送到欧洲市场。

IGB的初始输气能力将是30亿立方米天然气。

Greek PM：IGB can further be extended to Serbia & Romania

The Interconnector Greece-Bulgaria (IGB), which envisages transportation of Azerbaijani gas to Bulgaria, can further be extended to Serbia and Romania, said Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras, Trend reports.

He made the remarks during the IGB groundbreaking ceremony that took place May 22 in Bulgaria’s Kirkovo.

“This pipeline could be extended to Serbia through the IBS (Interconnector Serbia - Bulgaria) pipeline, as well as to Romania via the Interconnector Bulgaria-Romania (IBR), which will help these countries to diversify their energy routes as well as their sources of supply,” said the prime minister.

Tsipras pointed out that energy security and diversification of energy sources remain a very important priority for the Eastern Mediterranean region and for the whole Europe.

The Trans Adriatic Pipeline (TAP), IGB, Vertical Corridor, the EastMed pipeline are projects that strengthen the economic and geopolitical role of Greece, Bulgaria and the wider region.

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.
