GDF Suez to acquire stake in Nord Stream line

摘要

GDF Suez SA reported it will take a 9% stake in Nord Stream AG before construction of that 1,200-km natural gas pipeline that will link Russia and the European Union via the Baltic Sea. GDF Suez also will receive as much as 1.5 billion cu m (bcm) of gas from the line starting in 2015. This will be added to the 12 bcm/year that OAO Gazprom already sends to GDF Suez.
