Eni Warns Gazprom, Warms to Sonatrach

摘要

Eni boss Claudio Descalzi insists that the Italian major, Gazprom's biggest client in Europe, has the contractual right to receive Russian gas imports via Austria for another two decades. The remarks, made on Mar. 13, serve as a warning to Gazprom, whose head, Alexei Miller, recently said Russia would stop sending gas to Europe via Ukraine by 2019 - the planned start date for the Russian gas giant's Turk Stream project to Turkey, designed to replace the canceled South Stream pipe (p10).
