Gazprom Starts NEGP Construction
The Moscow News
Russian gas giant Gazprom began construction of the North European Gas Pipeline (NEGP)
Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Fradkov called the pipeline project "the largest cooperation project in the gas sphere between Russia and Europe." The pipeline was designed to provide a direct route for natural gas deliveries from Russia to its biggest market in Western Europe, bypassing transit countries (Ukraine, Poland and the Baltic States). It will bypass political risks, improve energy safety in Europe, and reduce the price of gas transportation. The first leg of the pipeline, connecting the Baltic seashore near the Russian city of Vyborg with Greifswald region, north-eastern Germany, is set to come on-stream in 2010. Offshoots may then be built to link it with the Netherlands, the UK, the Kaliningrad Region (Russia's exclave within the EU) and Sweden.
The official ceremony was attended by Mikhail Fradkov, Industry and Energy Minister Viktor Khristenko, Alexei Miller, Gazprom's CEO, Michael Glos, Germany's Minister of Economics and Technology, Wulf Bernotat, chairman of E.ON Ruhrgas, and Jurgen Hambrecht, BASF's CEO. The ceremony was held in the Vologda Region town of Babayevo, about 500 kilometers north of Moscow.
Construction of the overland part of the pipeline will be financed entirely by Gazprom. The Russian-German joint venture North European Gas Pipeline Company (NEGPC), which had applied for registration in Switzerland on November 30 and received certification on December 5, is to build the pipeline from Russia to Europe under the Baltic Sea. Gazprom holds a 51 percent stake in the venture, while Germany's BASF AG and E.ON AG own 24.5 percent each. Former German Chancellor Gerhard Schroder is set to chair a committee of NEGPC's shareholders. Mattias Warnig, the head of Dresdner Bank's Moscow office will be appointed NEGPC's managing director. By the way, a third foreign partner may obtain a 9% stake in NEGPC, with Gazprom maintaining a controlling stake. Dutch Gasunie, French Gaz de France, and British BP and Transco are among the candidates.
The project is set to pump gas from Russia's Yuzhno-Russkoye, Zapolyarnoye and Prirazlomnoye gas fields and from the 3.2 trillion cu m Shtokman gas condensate deposit on a Barents Sea shelf in northern Russia. The pipeline will achieve its full capacity in 55 billion cu m after the construction of its second leg by 2013. The agreement to build the 4.7 billion euro NEGP was signed on September 8 by Gazprom and the two German companies.
