中国石化新闻网讯 据5月5日路透社报道,挪威能源部长周五在一封信中披露的新信息显示,挪威将天然气资产国有化的计划不仅包括Gassled天然气管道。
将该国天然气资产国有化的意外举动还将拓展至其他资产,包括Nyhamna加工厂。上周五,挪威石油和能源部长表示,在现有特许权即将到期的五年内,挪威将把天然气管道国有化。但现在,路透社周五看到的一封致被许可方的新信件称,该计划还包括目前由Nyhamna和Plarled以及Vestprosess DA拥有的挪威天然气基础设施的其他核心部分。

挪威天然气管道网络包括5600英里的管道,其中大部分由Gassled拥有。这封致包括壳牌、康菲和Equinor在内的所有被许可方的信函称,它的目标是“完成挪威天然气基础设施的国有化”。
去年,挪威取代产能大国成为德国最大的天然气供应国,而德国天然气进口量下降了12.3%。德国联邦网络机构(Bundesnetzagentur)在1月初表示,2022年,挪威向欧洲最大的经济体德国提供了33%的进口天然气,而产能大国在德国天然气市场的份额去年降至22%。
挪威石油和天然气部上周五表示,它正在通知被许可方,让他们知道该国希望“在许可期结束时利用遣返权”,希望挪威天然气运输系统的核心部分完全归国家所有。
去年,挪威主要通过管道出口了1200亿立方米的天然气,使其成为欧洲最大的天然气供应国。

Norway’s Surprise Natural Gas Nationalization Plan Even Broader Than Expected
Norway’s plan to nationalize natural gas assets includes more than just Gassled’s natural gas pipelines, new information revealed in a letter from the Norwegian energy minister showed on Friday.
The surprise move to nationalize the country’s gas assets will also include other assets—including the Nyhamna processing plant.
Last Friday, Norway’s oil and energy minister said it would nationalize its natural gas pipelines within the next five years when existing concessions are set to expire. But now, a new letter to licensees seen by Reuters on Friday said that that plan also includes “other central parts of the Norwegian gas infrastructure that are currently owned by Nyhamna and Plarled, as well as Vestprosess DA.”
Norway’s gas pipeline network encompasses 5,600 miles of pipelines, most of which are owned by Gassled.
The letter to all licensees, which include Shell, ConocoPhillips, and Equinor, said that it had a goal to “complete state ownership of Norwegian gas infrastructure.”
Norway became Germany’s single-largest natural gas supplier last year, overtaking the big producer, with Germany’s gas imports dropping by 12.3%. Norway provided Germany—Europe’s largest economy—with 33% of all of the gas it imported in 2022, while the bigger produce"s share of the German gas market fell to 22% last year, the Germany Federal Network Agency Bundesnetzagentur said in early January.
Norway’s oil and gas ministry said last Friday that it was notifying licensees to let them know that the country wants to “make use of the right of repatriation at the end of the license period,” adding that it “wants complete state ownership of the central parts of the Norwegian gas transport system.”
Norway exported more than 120 billion cubic meters of gas last year, mainly via its pipelines, making it Europe’s largest gas supplier.
