伊朗希望通过西班牙向欧盟出口天然气

据Gulf News网站9月7日迪拜报道，伊朗石油部长赞加内7日在德黑兰表示，伊朗希望通过把LNG船运到西班牙的方式向欧盟出口本国天然气。

赞加内是与来访的西班牙工业、能源和旅游部长索里亚共同举行的新闻发布会上作上述表示的。

除了管道运输以外，在几个项目因西方制裁被搁置以后，伊朗没有能力把本国天然气冷冻成LNG用油轮出口，制裁已迫使外国公司从伊朗撤离。专家估计，如果能够找到合作伙伴，伊朗仍将需要两年的时间才能掌握天然气液化和运输技术。

赞加内对伊朗石油部新闻社Shana记者说，伊朗和西班牙之间就这一话题举行的谈判将继续进行下去。

索里亚对Shana记者说，西班牙可以“作为伊朗向欧洲出口天然气的一个渠道。”但是，他没有详细说明，而马德里的能源部拒绝证实这一评论。

IRAN HOPES TO EXPORT GAS TO EU THROUGH SPAIN

Gulf News

September 7, 2015

DUBAI: Iran hopes to bring its gas to the European Union by shipping liquefied natural gas (LNG) to Spain, its oil minister was quoted as saying on Monday at a news conference with his Spanish counterpart in Tehran.

Iran has no ability to freeze its gas into LNG for tanker exports beyond the reach of pipelines, after several projects stalled due to western sanctions that forced foreign companies to pull out of Iran. Experts reckon it will take around two years for that to happen, if partners are found.

“Talks between Iran and Spain on this topic will continue,” Bijan Zanganeh said, after meeting Spain’s Minister of Industry, Energy and Tourism Jose Manuel Soria, Iran’s oil ministry’s news agency Shana reported.

Shana quoted Soria, part of a Spanish delegation to Tehran, as saying his country could “act as a channel for Iran’s gas exports to Europe”. He did not elaborate and the ministry in Madrid declined to confirm the comment.
