据管道新闻网奥斯陆5月7日消息称，爱沙尼亚合作伙伴Elering周二表示，波罗的海的一条天然气管道将于明年初运营，从爱沙尼亚到芬兰的日输气量将在将达到9700万立方英尺到1.33亿立方英尺之间。
波罗的海连接管道将允许双向，但由于两国天然气系统的压力差异，输送天然气的能力因方向不同而不同。
该公司在一份声明中表示，另一方面，从芬兰到爱沙尼亚，每天的产能将在1.44亿立方英尺到2亿立方英尺之间。运输能力是根据2020年冬春的起始时期计算的。
今年早些时候，这条天然气管道将服务于芬兰、爱沙尼亚和拉脱维亚，三国同意建立一个联合天然气市场。
根据协议，从明年开始，三国之间的天然气运输将不需要额外的费用。芬兰-爱沙尼亚-拉脱维亚天然气市场的规模约为每年1370亿立方英尺。
这条耗资3.36亿美元(3亿欧元)的输气管道主要由欧盟提供资金，这将使芬兰的天然气进口来源多样化。此前，芬兰的天然气进口仅由俄罗斯天然气工业股份公司提供。
该项目的合作伙伴是Elering和芬兰国有的波罗的海管道公司。大约75%的管道费用由欧盟承担，剩下的费用由芬兰和爱沙尼亚分担。

Finland-Estonia Balticconnector Gas Flows Estimate Set
OSLO, A gas pipeline in the Baltic Sea that is due to start operation early next year will begin with a capacity of between 97MMcf and 133MMcf per day from Estonia to Finland, Estonian partner Elering said The Balticconnector pipeline will allow transmission both ways, but due to pressure differences in the gas systems of both countries the capacity to send gas differs depending Flows the other way, from Finland to Estonia, will start with a capacity of between 144MMcf and 200MMcf per day, the company said in a statement. Capacities are calculated for the starting period of winter-spring of 2020.
Finland, Estonia and Latvia, which will be served by the pipeline, agreed to form a joint gas market earlier this year.
According to the agreement, gas will move between the three countries from next year without additional costs. The volume of the Finnish-Estonian-Latvian gas market is approximately 137Bcf per year.
The $336-million (300 million-euro) pipeline is mostly funded by the European Union and will allow Finland to diversify the source of its gas imports which were previously supplied solely by Russia's Gazprom.
The project's partners are Elering and Finland's state-owned Baltic Connector Oy. Some 75 percent of the pipeline cost is covered by the EU, with Finland and Estonia sharing the rest of the bill.
