据路透社5月19日报道,一位乌克兰能源高管周二表示,该国目前有兴趣从罗马尼亚进口天然气,以使该国天然气供应多样化。
乌克兰国家天然气运输公司(Ukrtransgaz)总裁伊霍尔·普诺科沃佩夫告诉记者:“罗马尼亚正在寻求市场,而我们对他们的天然气很感兴趣,这能使我们天然气的供应多样化。”
普诺科沃佩夫表示,罗马尼亚在2016年大约会有20亿立方米的富足天然气可供出口。
根据乌国气的数据,目前乌克兰50%的天然气进口来自斯洛伐克、波兰和匈牙利,剩余部分仍然由俄罗斯提供。
罗马尼亚早已向乌克兰南部邻国摩尔多瓦出口天然气,罗摩两国之间的输气管道年输送能力为15亿立方米。

Ukraine eyes gas imports from Romania
May 19 Ukraine is interested in importing Romanian natural gas to diversify its supplies, a senior Ukrainian energy official said on Tuesday.
"They (Romania) are looking for a market, while this gas is interesting for us as a diversification (of supplies)," Ihor Prokopiv, the president of Ukraine's gas transport monopoly Ukrtransgaz, told reporters.
Prokopiv said Romania was likely to have up to 2 billion cubic meters of free gas available for exports in 2016.
Kiev now buys 50 percent of its imported gas from Slovakia, Poland and Hungary, the rest is supplied by Russia, according to Ukrtransgaz data.
Romania already exports its gas to Moldova, Ukraine's south-western neighbour. The pipeline that links the Romanian and Moldovan gas transport systems has the capacity to pump up to 1.5 billion cubic metres of gas per year.
