中国石化新闻网讯 据道琼斯8月12日消息,多家欧洲大型能源公司联手建造一条从俄罗斯到德国的富有争议的天然气管道的计划已经破裂。
由于遭到波兰反对,这些公司周四撤回了组建合资公司来建造被称之为“北溪2”管道的申请,因该交易被视为滋长了俄罗斯更大程度上影响波兰能源供应的能力。
这是上述公司达成天然气管道交易遭遇的最新阻碍,这一交易已加剧欧洲的政治紧张情势,并引发对各公司将如何参与项目的质疑。
俄罗斯天然气工业股份公司(Gazprom)、Engie、壳牌、OMV、Uniper和温特斯豪周五在一份联合声明中说,这项决定不会影响项目继续进行。Gazprom仍将担任项目运营商,其他公司则表示他们将继续寻求其他替代参与方式。
“北溪2”项目每年将通过波罗的海将额外的550亿立方米的天然气输送至德国北部,从而令现有的北溪管线输送能力翻番。

Plan for Joint Venture to Build Gas Pipeline From Russia to Germany Falters
By Sarah Kent and Gabriele Steinhauser
A plan has collapsed for multiple large European energy companies to team up to build a controversial natural-gas pipeline from Russia to Germany.
The application to form a joint venture to build a pipeline called Nord Stream 2 were withdrawn Thursday in the face of opposition from Poland, where the deal was seen as giving Russia greater sway over Polish energy supplies.
The decision is the latest stumbling block in a pipeline deal that has inflamed political tensions in Europe and raises questions about how the companies involved will participate.
In a joint statement Friday the consortium of Russia's PAO Gazprom, Engie, Royal Dutch Shell PLC, OMV, Uniper and Wintershall said the decision wouldn't affect the continuation of the project. Gazprom remains as operator and the other companies said they are continuing to look at alternative ways to contribute.
Nord Stream 2 would ship an extra 55 billion cubic meters of gas a year to northern Germany through the Baltic Sea, doubling the capacity of the existing Nord Stream pipeline.
