South-North Corridor GRIP 2017

2.2 Supply Sources

Thanks to its favourable position at the heart of Europe, the SNC Region can benefit

from a high diversification of supply sources, with gas imports both through pipeline

and LNG tankers.

LNG terminals allow by nature the arrival of gas from different parts of the world,

while the pipeline imports into the Region are mostly coming from the following

countries:

Russia

Libya

Algeria

Norway

Netherlands

United Kingdom

In this subchapter, the weight of these supply contributions to the SNC Region is

evaluated, and a comparison between the previous SNC GRIP (based on volumes

in 2012) and the current situation (based on the calendar years 2014 and 2015) is

provided.

The graph in Figure 2.1 illustrates the breakdown of the total amount of natural gas

imports with reference to the above-mentioned supply sources, based on net aggre-

gated volumes entering the Region in 2014 and 2015.
