Figure 2.1:
Geography and supply sources of the SNC Region in years 2014–2015
(Source: ENTSOG data collection based on information from TSOs)
In order to create the above supply diagram, the following assumptions have been
made:
\\
For each supply source shown, the netted flows entering the region were
determined.
\\
The figure for Russia is split up into the net flows to Germany (northern part)
and to Italy (southern part) through Austria.
\\
The figure for Norway covers the direct supply from the Norwegian fields to
Germany, Belgium and France minus the exits to Denmark.
\\
The figure for the Netherlands represents the gas entering Belgium and
Germany through the different IPs connecting them with the Netherlands.
These volumes comprise both high calorific and low calorific gas.
\\
The figure for the United Kingdom corresponds to the net flows through the
Interconnector from the United Kingdom to Belgium.
Norway, Russia and the Netherlands are historically the countries that contribute
most to the external supply of the Region, covering over 80% of total imports. For
the period 2014-2015, volumes from Norway covered around 36% of total import
into the Region, while Dutch imports represented around 18%. Total imports from
Russia remained stable over the last years (around 29%), with the southern route
to Italy (through Ukraine) taking over some share (around 4%) from the northern
route to Germany (through Belarus and Nord Stream) compared to the volumes
represented in the previous GRIP edition (2012).
Imports from Northern Africa (Algeria and Libya) have declined over the last years,
with a shift from over 12% in 2012 to 7.7% for the period 2014–2015. This
decrease can be completely attributed to the Algerian imports, with Libya remaining
stable.
