View all articles by Oil and Gas AuthorIn July 2001, POGC reached an agreement with Dansk Olie og Naturgas (DONG) to import 565 Bcf of Natural Gas over eight years, starting in 2003. This was to be done through a planned $330 million, 186-mile Pipeline under the Baltic Sea. The project, however, was deferred because Polands natural gas demand was less than expected. Both parties reportedly have been considering revising down natural gas deliveries, as Well as ways to re-export natural gas delivered to Poland. In December 2003, POGC and Norways Statoil terminated their original natural gas supply agreement (signed in September 2001), due to insufficient natural gas demand projections in Poland to justify building a new Baltic seabed import pipeline. Statoil is currently in a dialogue with the POGC over reduced natural gas deliveries to Poland, which would have to be sent through new or existing infrastructure. The original contract included the delivery of 2.6 Tcf of natural gas over 16 years, as well as the construction of $1.1 billion, 683-mile pipeline. Another alternative to Russian supplied natural gas is the planned Nabucco pipeline, bringing natural gas from the Caspian Sea region to Europe. A consortium, comprising MOL, Botas, Boru Hatlari ile Petrol Tasima AS (Turkey), Bulgargaz EAD (Bulgaria), and SNTGN Tranzgas (Romania), OMV (Austria), is heading up the project which could start deliveries as early as in 2011. In January 2006, OMV announced that the joint venture was in the process of signing up potentail buyers for the gas. It is planned that the pipeline would run 2,000 miles across Turkey to Austria via Bulgaria, Romania, and Hungary. The line would cost an estimated $5.35 billion to build.
