石油设备网讯 据阿塞拜疆新闻网巴库报道，阿塞拜疆的天然气在全球对这种绿色原料需求不断增加的背景下逐渐在世界天然气市场上占有优势。自本世纪初以来，欧洲天然气生产的前景正在下降，这为阿塞拜疆天然气扩大其在欧洲市场上的份额创造了巨大机会。
据预测，天然气将是阿塞拜疆今后增加其在欧洲大陆能源平衡中份额的唯一碳氢化合物资源，这个份额届时将达到26%。
因此，为了减少对其他天然气生产国的依赖，欧洲欢迎阿塞拜疆作为一个天然气出口国，阿塞拜疆为此表现出了积极行动，而这种主动行动已在向欧洲大陆出口阿塞拜疆天然气的世界规模项目中得到体现。
目前阿塞拜疆的天然气通过南部天然气走廊(SGC)运往格鲁吉亚以及通过塔纳普（TANAP）运往土耳其。沙赫杰尼兹大气田是阿塞拜疆最大的天然气田。气田面积超过140平方公里，其大小和形状与美国曼哈顿岛相似。
欧洲正期待着阿塞拜疆天然气的输送，这一进程正在进行中。考虑到欧洲对天然气的巨大需求，阿塞拜疆正在使管道网络多样化，并希望建造连接南部天然气走廊(SGC)和其他天然气来源的基础设施。
值得注意的是，阿塞拜疆国家统计委员会的数据显示，今年1月至5月，阿塞拜疆采掘工业总产值为137亿马纳特(80.5亿美元)，比2018年同期增长了0.7%。
阿塞拜疆今年前5个月天然气总产量比去年同期增长了22.6%，达到了144.75亿立方米，其中商业用气101亿立方米。今年前5个月商业用气产量同比增长了40.4%。

Commercial gas production increases markedly
Azerbaijan gradually takes an advantage in the world gas market against a background of rising demand for this raw material. Since the beginning of the 2000s, the prospects of natural gas production in Europe are declining and this creates great opportunities for Azerbaijani gas to expand presence in the European market.
As is predicted, natural gas will be the only hydrocarbon resource that will increase its share in the continent’s energy balance, reaching 26 percent by 2040.
So in order to diminish the dependence on other producers, Europe welcomes Azerbaijan as a gas exporter and the country shows initiative which is expressed in the world scale projects which already export Azerbaijani gas to the European continent.
Currently, Azerbaijani gas is transported via Southern Gas Corridor (SGC) to Georgia and via TANAP to Turkey. Shah Deniz gas field is the largest natural gas field in Azerbaijan. Stretching out over 140 square kilometers, the reservoir is similar in size and shape to Manhattan Island.
Europe is looking forward to gas deliveries and this process is underway. Taking into account Europe’s huge demand for gas, big volumes of gas supply will be in need. Therefore, Azerbaijan is diversifying the network of pipelines and desires to build an infrastructure linking the Southern Gas Corridor (SGC) with other gas sources.
It is noteworthy that in total, the extractive industry production was worth 13.7 billion manats ($8.05 billion) in the extractive industry of Azerbaijan in January-May 2019, which is 0.7 percent more than in the same period of 2018, according to Azerbaijani State Statistics Committee.
As for the total gas production, its figure recorded growth by 22.6 percent in January-May 2019 compared to January-May 2018 and reached 14.475 billion cubic meters, including 10.1 billion cubic meters of commercial gas.
The commercial gas production increased by 40.4 percent in January-May 2019 compared to the same period last year.
It is noteworthy that among the pipelines which will deliver Azerbaijani gas to European markets, it is important to note TANAP, which along with TAP is part of the Southern Gas Corridor project that envisages transportation of gas from Azerbaijani Shah Deniz-2 gas field to European markets. Six billion cubic meters of the amount will be used to meet Turkey's demands, while the remaining 10 billion cubic meters will be sent to Europe.
