据阿塞拜疆新闻10月7日消息称，国际能源署在其第四季度天然气市场报告中指出，预计到2021年，将有80亿立方米的天然气通过跨亚得里亚海管道(TAP)输送。TAP是将阿塞拜疆天然气输送到欧洲市场的南部天然气走廊的延伸。
该机构指出，自2021年初以来，已有大约55亿立方米阿塞拜疆天然气通过TAP输往欧洲。
据报道，阿塞拜疆通过TAP管道的天然气出口预计到2022年将达到100亿立方米。
报告称：“阿塞拜疆天然气产量同比增长 15%，这是由于通过 TANAP [跨安纳托利亚]和 TAP 管道系统向欧洲出口的增加。”
需要注意的是，早先计划今年通过这条管道输送的天然气总量将达到50亿立方米。
TAP 是南部天然气走廊的一部分，是一个输送天然气的管道项目，从希腊经阿尔巴尼亚和亚得里亚海到意大利，再到西欧。

IEA: Gas transportation via TAP to reach 8 bcm in 2021
about 8 billion cubic meters of gas are forecasted to be transported through the Trans-Adriatic Pipeline (TAP), which is an extension of the Southern Gas Corridor that takes Azerbaijani natural gas to European markets, in 2021, the International Energy Agency states in its Gas Market Report for the fourth quarter.
The agency notes that about 5.5 billion cubic meters of Azerbaijani gas have been transported to Europe via TAP since early 2021.
According to the report, Azerbaijani natural gas exports via the TAP pipeline are expected to reach 10 billion cubic meters in 2022.
"Azerbaijani gas output rose by 15 percent y-o-y, driven by the ramp-up of exports to Europe via the TANAP [Trans-Anatolian] and TAP pipeline systems," the report read.
It should be noted that earlier it was planned that the whole volume of natural gas to be delivered via this pipeline this year would amount to 5 billion cubic meters.
TAP is a part of the Southern Gas Corridor and is a pipeline project to transport natural gas, starting from Greece via Albania and the Adriatic Sea to Italy and further to Western Europe.
