据Trend通讯社10月9日巴库报道,阿塞拜疆国家石油公司(SOCAR)能源格鲁吉亚分公司负责人马希尔·马马多夫向Trend通讯社独家透露,SOCAR已做好与俄罗斯天然气工业股份公司在格鲁吉亚市场竞争的准备。
早些时候,俄油董事长阿列克谢·米勒和格鲁吉亚能源与自然资源部部长卡哈·卡拉泽在布鲁塞尔召开了一次工作会议。
会上,双方讨论了天然气领域合作,谈到俄方向格鲁吉亚及第三方国家输送供应天然气的议题。
马马多夫表示,俄罗斯对格鲁吉亚天然气供应可能的增量将加剧该国市场的竞争强度。
他说:“这是一个自由的市场,其他公司的存在加剧了竞争强度,因此也将促升在当地的服务水平。”
“若格鲁吉亚决定增加俄罗斯天然气的供应量,相对地,我们将逐渐适应新局面,做到进一步发展。但总的来说,我们做好了竞争的准备。”
他指出,俄气蓄力格鲁吉亚市场不会对SOCAR在该国的活动产生明显影响。
马马多夫称,途经格鲁吉亚地区的天然气运输供应已经实施,但不会造成任何影响。
他说,单就对格鲁吉亚本国的天然气供应而言,社会消费的天然气总量已经签订了固定期限的购买协议。
他补充道:“我们使用短期(3-6个月)协议锁定商用消费量。”

SOCAR ready to compete with Gazprom in Georgia
The State Oil Company of Azerbaijan (SOCAR) is ready for competition with Russia’s Gazprom company in Georgian market, Mahir Mammadov, head of SOCAR Energy Georgia company exclusively told Trend.
Earlier, a working meeting was held between the Chairman of the Board of Gazprom Alexey Miller and Georgia’s Minister of Energy and Natural Resources Kakha Kaladze in Brussels.
During the meeting, the sides discussed the cooperation in gas sphere. They were talking about the supply of Russian natural gas to Georgia, as well as its transit to third countries.
The possible growth in Russian gas supply to Georgia will increase the competition in this country’s market, according to Mammadov.
“It is a free market and the presence of other companies increases the level of competition and consequently, the quality of services there,” he said.
“If Georgia decides to increase the supply of Russian gas, accordingly, we will be adapting to the new conditions and to develop further,” said the company head. “But in general, we are ready to compete.”
He noted that nevertheless, the strengthening of Gazprom in Georgian market will not have significant impact on SOCAR’s activities in this country.
The transit gas supply through Georgia’s territory was carried out anyway and this won’t have any affect, according to Mammadov.
As for gas supply to Georgia itself, the gas volumes for social consumption has been contracted for a fixed term, said the company head.
“For commercial consumption, we use the system of short-term (three and six months) agreements,” he added.
