据9月11日Neftegaz.RU.报道，这项经由克罗地亚Krk液化天然气终端的天然气供应协议，标志着匈牙利第一次与西方公司签署液化天然气购买协议。
路透社援引匈牙利外交部长Peter Szijjarto的话称:“匈牙利首次与西方公司签署了长期天然气供应协议。匈牙利将确保10%的天然气供应来自西方，这是匈牙利朝着能源多样化迈出的一大步。”
壳牌的全球执行副总裁Istvan Kapitany表示，天然气可以帮助满足对日益增长的清洁能源的需求，取代煤炭或其他液体燃料。天然气将通过克罗地亚Krk岛的一个液化天然气终端输送。Krk终端预计将在未来几个月内投入使用。
今年6月，匈牙利国有企业MVM宣布，计划从2021年到2028年，每年通过Krk终端购买多达10亿立方米的天然气。
匈牙利的天然气供应一直依赖俄罗斯，除了俄罗斯天然气工业股份公司(Gazprom)之外，匈牙利从未与任何天然气销售商签订过长期供应协议。
俄罗斯天然气工业股份公司从2019年年初到10月29日向匈牙利出口了约93亿立方米的天然气，与2018年对匈牙利的天然气总供应量相比，增长了22%。

The deal for gas supplies arriving via Croatia's Krk LNG terminal marks the 1st Hungary has signed with a Western company.
Hungary Foreign Affairs Minister Peter Szijjarto was quoted by Reuters as stating: “Hungary signed a long-term gas supply agreement for the first time with a Western company. Hungary will secure 10% of its gas supply from the West, which is a huge step in Hungary’s energy diversification.”
Shell’s Global Executive Vice President Istvan Kapitany said that natural gas could help fulfill the demand for increasing quantities of clean energy, replacing coal or other liquid fuels.
The gas will be delivered through an LNG terminal In June this year, Hungary’s state-owned firm MVM announced plans to purchase up to 1 billion cubic metres (bcm) of gas per annum through the Krk terminal from 2021 to 2028.
By and large, Hungary has been dependent In 2019, Gazprom exported an estimated 9.3 billion cubic meters of gas to Hungary from the year’s beginning through October 29, and that is already a 22 % increase compared with the total gas supplies to Hungary recorded in 2018.
