Gazprom eyes new route to Europe for Russian gas

摘要

Russia's Gazprom, frustrated by the failure of its plans to build gas pipeline infrastructure to southeast Europe, has come up with a new plan to link to the region via a pipeline under the Black Sea to Greece and Italy. Faced with competition in the region from new supplies from Azerbaijan and global LNG exporters, Gazprom is moving to retain its market share in a part of Europe traditionally highly dependent on Russian gas flows through Ukraine.
