Exhibition
The third international exhibition on Wednesday in natural gas in the south, and the passengers turkmenistan city (former carat snow watts g) officially unveiled, this exhibition by the host country of turkmenistan became the most media attention in the leading role. Turkmenistan's President KuErBan thou dint-don't's jose mourinho's Randolph, may in the opening address revealed that the country and the European Union are natural gas supply for the constructive negotiations. This is the implementation of the diversification of turkmenistan gas exports important measures.
The exhibition on the opening, turkmenistan still with Pakistan and India signed a landmark agreement, the central Asian powers will energy through TAPI natural gas pipeline (turkmenistan-Afghanistan-Pakistan-India) natural gas exports to India and Pakistan. Turkmenistan Gas national concern, Pakistan international natural Gas system company (Inter State Gas Systems) and India State Gas company GAIL has signed the contract. This contract signing means that fall of concern TAPI natural gas pipeline construction will soon open to build.
According to the agreement, turkmenistan will each year through the TAPI pipeline to India and Pakistan to export 33 billion cubic meters of natural gas, the period of validity of the agreement for 30 years. TAPI natural gas pipeline in turkmenistan Galkynysh south of the starting point of natural gas field, through Afghanistan's kandahar city Hera and Zeus and Pakistan reach and multan finally to India and Pakistan's border of law of the village from the card, the span about 1680 kilometers, the construction cost as much as $7.6 billion. The Asian development bank for the project will provide loans and financing.
TAPI natural gas pipeline as IPI (Iran-Pakistan, India), instead of the natural gas pipeline project to the United States by the government's strong support and promote. Although built IPI natural gas pipeline or the laying of submarine pipeline to Iran's gas imports from India in the economy is more feasible, but with the United States policy of sanctions against Iran conflict. In contrast, natural gas pipeline TAPI not only can alienate new Delhi and the relationship between Tehran and reassure India from Iran's gas imports idea, but also to help close the distance between India and Pakistan. In addition, the TAPI pipe will also promote the normalization of the situation in Afghanistan, according to the Afghanistan preliminary estimate the pipeline to Afghanistan can bring 50000 jobs.
The United States strongly support the TAPI pipeline there is far more to build the strategic thinking: India and Pakistan become turkmenistan gas buyers will inevitably occur after with Chinese competition, because from January 2009 the central Asian gas pipeline across kazakhstan since the opening of China has become the biggest buyers of turkmenistan gas.
Obviously, India and Pakistan to join turkmenistan gas buyers will inevitably give China team in central Asia strategic interest to the challenges. After the completion of the TAPI pipeline will each year to turkmenistan India and Pakistan export 33 billion cubic meters of natural gas, compared to a year through central Asia at present turkmenistan gas pipeline to China's export to only 17 billion cubic meters of natural gas. India and Pakistan over China as turkmenistan gas will be the important buyers. If turkmenistan and the European Union negotiations eventually airness words, natural gas exports to Europe on turkmenistan are much more attractive, because the current European Russian imports from the price of natural gas is almost turkmenistan the export to China natural gas for twice the price. Then will raise prices or turkmenistan worke reduce exports? These are unknown. Central Asia energy territory have quietly change, China should be prepared to this.
