Israel, Cyprus and Greece agree to build a gas pipeline along the bottom of the Mediterranean Sea

98

Israel, Cyprus and Greece decided to compete in the gas supply market in southern Europe. It is actually about creating an alternative to the Turkish Stream gas pipeline and the so-called Trans-Anatolian TANAP pipeline.

The information resources of these countries report that an agreement was signed today in Athens to build the EastMed Pipeline gas pipeline, which will carry gas from the Middle East to Greece.



According to recent reports, the total length of the EastMed Pipeline gas pipeline should be approximately 1,9 thousand km. It is planned to make the deposits of Israel and Cyprus as donors for this gas pipeline. Gas through the pipe, which they intend to lay along the bottom of the Mediterranean Sea, must go to the Greek island of Crete, where they are going to create a terminal, from where "blue fuel" will be sent to continental Greece.

According to plans, the gas pipeline’s capacity should reach about 2025 billion cubic meters of gas per year by 10.

Israel, Cyprus and Greece note that the new gas pipeline could "strengthen the energy security of Europe."

In Turkey, they write that the EastMed Pipeline gas pipeline will not have economic returns, since the Greek economy at the moment is such that the capacities of the new gas pipeline will not be in demand.

Nevertheless, the Greek, Cypriot and Israeli leaders (Mitsotakis, Anastasiadis and Netanyahu) made a deal, noting that the gas pipeline "will not infringe on the interests of other countries."

At the moment, the US reaction to the construction of the EastMed Pipeline gas pipeline is not reported. If a new pipeline is created, it will inflict an additional blow on the interests of the United States, which intends to increase the supply of shale gas to the EU.

        That is, Azerbaijan, Turkey and Georgia, in their opinion, are such countries whose interests can be infringed?
        After all, the Trans-Anatolian Pipeline (TANAP) already exists and is functioning, through which gas flows from Azerbaijan to Greece through Turkey and Georgia.

          The fact is that Europe’s gas demand is growing annually, and its own production is falling annually. There is enough room for everyone in the European gas market.

            This is clear. But why such an unexpected conclusion follows at the end of the article:
            . If a new gas pipeline is created, it will inflict an additional blow. US interests

            Do we need to be happy about this?

              The fact is that the United States will sell even less of its shale gas in the future. But in fact, the center of the Leviathan deposit is opposite Lebanon. There were 2 Lebanese wars, both unsuccessful for Israel. And the third was to happen when Syria fell and the pipe went dry to the EU. But it did not grow together. The problem with this article is that there are huge depths from Israel to Cyprus, and the Syrian-Lebanese-Turkish shelves are closed. Pipes at the depth of nonsense, and in large part this signing is the surrender of Israel in the Lebanese-gas war. Cyprus is half occupied, also a Greek competitor to the Turkish hub. The fate of Cyprus hung in the balance and the Turks are not Euro-humanists, will explode with pipe layers ... the US is the enemy of the project, both Turkey and Russia ... the latter proved that in the BV - a strong player. In principle, I do not exclude the possibility that with this signature goners with blue and white flags will end the Israel project. Yes, even a Cyprus project in addition ....

            Indeed, if we take into account that its capacity is only 10 billion a year, and only through Ukraine we have the technical ability to drive over 90 billion now, then not everything is so sad for us. Therefore, they are not competitors to us, but there’s nothing good for us either, since we want to become leaders in gas supplies to Europe.

        you just compare the numbers on the calculator - 10 billion EastMed Pipeline with export gas from Russia and TANAP is also not a competitor,
        LNG does not solve the problems of the chemical industry in Europe, unlike the pipe industry, liquefied due to fractions only for the energy sector ... The Groningen gas field near the Netherlands is being closed - not only due to depletion, but also due to more frequent earthquakes (as a result of production). Over time, it will shake more often in the east of the Mediterranean Sea, but there are fewer risks - there are no dams like the Netherlands ...

          Firstly, the figure of 10 billion for some reason flickers only on Russian resources.
          On others, a figure from 12-16 to 20 billion slips.
          Secondly, do not forget that our capabilities are limited. What is declared is one thing. What will happen after 5-6 years is unknown. Do not forget that the oil and gas industry of the Russian Federation is under sanctions. We will not receive new equipment and new technologies in it.
          Old equipment will fail, reserves in old fields may be depleted. It will be necessary to develop new ones. Than?

          The shelf of Israel and Cyprus will not be able to feed this gas pipeline for long. It will be necessary to connect to the capacities of the Arab countries, and this is hardly possible for Israel so far. feel In addition, the possibility of serious disasters in this part of the Mediterranean Sea must be calculated. As far as I remember, one of the greatest earthquakes occurred here for a long time, which destroyed the traces of civilization here for a long time, and the question is interesting - will the selection of gas from the shelf turn out to be a detonator that can repeat a natural cataclysm of the same scale. what

            A letter is only a letter, and a contract is already a document. There was a contract for TAP and a statement in the summer of 2018 by the Minister of the Environment, Sergio Costa - “Given our energy policy and gas demand, we consider the TAP project to be absolutely pointless at present”, although it made a fuss, but it turned out to be a dummy. The fact that they signed without Italy probably indicates the concern of these countries with the desire of Turkey and Libya to establish their separation zone in this sea area .... we will see, this is only the beginning, the end of the project is called 2025.

        Well, in this case, you can take Europe for a classic pool, which includes N pipes and gas flows from them.
        Pool fixed capacity. (Well, let some dynamic range)
        But those who want to pour there compete with each other.
        On this basis, access to the European market in Israel should in any case prevent someone.
        Apparently, the cost of Israeli and Cypriot gas will be low. (The conditions are not polar at all, but the pipe is short).
        Pure competition will not work, because the US is climbing into Europe with its gas as if it were a buffet, crushing everyone and everything!
        But Israel is the country on this planet THE MOST SPECIAL OF ALL SPECIAL!
        So nothing threatens them. As long as they wish / can - they will sell as much.
        Let others worry!

          It is unlikely that the cost will be low. The depth of natural gas from 5,8 km to 7,2 km. The pipeline route through the zone of high seismic activity and at great depths.

          Add to this the fact that in November 2018 they already signed a similar agreement for the construction of a gas pipeline, with a capacity of only 20 billion cubic meters per year.

          A decrease in volume of 2 times says a lot.

        Now the main opponents of the construction of the EastMed gas pipeline are Turkey and Azerbaijan. Russia and Gazprom now do not have time to directly deal with issues related to stopping or blocking the EastMed gas pipeline project, since at the moment it is more urgent for it to solve its gas problems. Russia, most likely, will not directly oppose the project. But it will surely begin to actively support Turkey with financial resources, with the prospect of more freely managing gas from Turkish Stream-2. I do not exclude a closer rapprochement of the positions of Russia and Turkey in the military sphere

      Guys, why bother with strangers who have no problems for your difficult life! You have your own, with the same Gazprom.
      For the spring of 2019:
      “Gazprom’s total revenue, including sales in the Russian Federation and the countries of the former CIS, grew by a quarter - up to 8,224 trillion rubles. And net profit doubled - to a record 1,456 trillion rubles. However, this figure is 100% “paper”: the real cash flow of the company (the difference between receipts to accounts and expenses) at the end of the year was zero. The entire amount that Gazprom received from operating activities - 1,617 trillion rubles - was “eaten up” by the construction projects of “Power of Siberia”, “Turkish Stream” and Nord Stream 2. Thus, to pay the announced dividends (10,43 rubles per share, 246,9, XNUMX billion rubles in total), like last year, Gazprom will have to borrow. ”
      On credit, guys, on credit !!! This is your (i.e. state) medical expenses, medicine, salaries ... !!!
      Do you really not understand that the Power of Siberia was built only (!!) at the expense of Gazprom, in Bank debt, China did not invest a dime in a pipe. That is the amount of gas for China, with a constant decrease in gas prices and lower consumption, will lead to a payback of the pipe in 40 years !!! And you need to pay interest on debt now !!! Are you worried about the grandmothers of Amer private (!) Business !! After all, Americans do not have state gas / oil, like Russia.
      In addition, the International Energy Organization made a forecast for gas consumption in the world until 2050, and consumption will decrease from today's 23% to 19% in 2050. Europe in 2050 generally 50% of the energy will be green.
      So do not worry about the amers, they live today. If there is no need to transport gas, then the gas carriers will be redone at the casino, but what to do with unpaid pipes?
      I suggest crawling abroad, the pose allows ...

        Well, why so cleverly twist it? Gazprom is NOT Russia. This is a corporation. Actually, the government is its shareholder. And IT will receive those same dividends ...

It’s just that Gazprom, which lays gold eggs for the country (currency), has problems with settling with law. After all, 50% of ownership leads to 50% of profit, and who repays debts? In half, as accomplices ...
          And if, as you said, “less than 40%,” then state-woo profit less than 40%.
          But debts !!! It is necessary to pay with state banks or ask for a big discount on taxes, which Gazprom did. And received. So who won / lost?

          Pipes are not an investment. Pipes are costs, this is a truck / train. You can pay back only by transporting expensive goods over long distances (quickly paying off is the best option), cheap cargo over short distances (long paying off is the worst option).
          Pipes must be filled with gas, which is constantly decreasing in price and its consumption is constantly decreasing. And for Gazprom’s SP-2, the antitrust law allows only 50% of Gazprom’s gas, the remaining 50% from other owners. Gazprom will find them - lucky, no - the pipe will be 50% empty / full. And the cost of buried pipes is not reduced.

      In Turkey, they write that the EastMed Pipeline gas pipeline will not have economic returns, since the Greek economy at the moment is such that the capacities of the new gas pipeline will not be in demand.

      In Greece, the media raised a fuss about the signing, a lot of smiles and words, but no one gives specific figures - neither about the cost price, nor about the final price for the consumer, nor about the number of jobs for the population ... not to mention the comparison with Russian gas The Turkish stream, it seems, is generally a taboo for journalists. Only general phrases: ... "EastMed is of geopolitical interest, promotes Greece as a European transit hub, opens the way for the development of local resources in the future, promotes the economic development of Greece and Cyprus .... blah blah blah and at the very end. .. provides investments through the conclusion of multi-year gas purchase agreements before making an investment decision following the example of agreements on gas from Azerbaijan (Shah Deniz II). " - Here it is already interesting - just from this project, the Greeks did not get anything - neither transit nishtyaks, nor jobs, they just quietly provided their territory and occasionally remember the pipe. Trump on the Southern Gas Corridor (on November 30, Aliyev and Erdogan launched TANAP, its European part of TAP will start working in 2020): "An incredible achievement that ensures energy security in Europe." So, there are only 15,75 billion cubic meters, of which 6 billion remain in Turkey, Georgia hopes (with a discount!) For 2 billion cubic meters per year, and the remaining 8 billion should still save Europe from Gazprom ... yes .. How much is from 500 billion 8-10 billion? about 2% ensure the security of Europe? So it is with the Jewish pipe - a lot of noise, the numbers are crap, and even Erdogan is ahead.

      Liquefied is 1,5 times more expensive and American companies sell it to local Europeans as an "energy security" in Alexandroupolis, but if you look closely, you will find that it is the same totalitarian Russian gas from Novatek. But these are trifles, why should the locals know about it, suddenly they will start asking uncomfortable questions?

      Well, for the neighing: symbolically the names presented it this way - Leviathan (the Israeli field) through Aphrodite (the Cyprus field) will protect Europe. That is, the many-headed sea monster of the Jews, converging with the goddess of beauty Aphrodite, will provide protection for the beloved Zeus ... Whose plan is this, Zeus? What can be born of a monster? Yeah, only a monster. Who are they going to scare? Yourself? laughing
