石油设备网讯 据普氏能源资讯4月8日报道称，沙特能源部长哈立德法利赫周一在利雅得举行的海湾情报论坛间隙对记者表示，沙特将在数周内开始对一条连接该国与更广泛的海湾合作委员会的天然气管道进行技术可行性研究。
该项目将整合并扩大沙特阿拉伯，巴林，阿联酋，阿曼，科威特甚至更广泛的中东地区现有的天然气网络，使天然气交易更加灵活。
“我认为，在五年，六年内，沙特将出口天然气，”法利赫说。“我们已经在与兄弟国讨论一条从阿曼到科威特再到伊拉克的管道。”
在技术研究完成后，各国将讨论在该地区内进行天然气贸易的商业框架。

Saudi Arabia-GCC gas pipeline studies to commence within weeks
Saudi Arabia will begin technical feasibility studies for a natural gas pipeline linking the country to the wider Gulf Cooperation Council "in a number of weeks," Saudi energy minister Khalid al-Falih told journalists on Monday, on the sidelines of the Gulf Intelligence forum in Riyadh.
The project will integrate and expand already-existing gas networks in Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, the UAE, Oman, Kuwait, and possibly the wider Middle East, for gas to be traded more flexibly.
"I think that in five, six years, Saudi Arabia will be exporting gas," Falih said. "We are already in discussion with our brothers about a pipeline from Oman to Kuwait to Iraq."
After the technical studies are completed, the countries will discuss a commercial framework for gas to be traded within the region.
