L’Adriatic lngItaly’s most important LNG regasification plant had to cease operations due to weather conditions. Italy’s contribution to gas needs is greatly reduced and could be a problem in the long run. The reduction in gas fed into the grid by the regasification plant in the Adriatic Sea is evident from the available data, but Today contacted the terminal confirming a reduction in regasification activities. Italy, after a growing period of independence from Russian gas, is focusing on LNG, liquefied natural gas converted from liquid to solid in regasification plants. The government plans to start up the Piombino plant in 2023 and the Ravenna plant in 2024: LNG’s contribution will be vital in the absence of gas from Russia, but immediate problemsAdriatic lng indicates the need to complete the diversification strategy so that other facilities are available.
L’Adriatic lng: How does the regasification terminal work in the Adriatic?
L’Adriatic lng It is an offshore regasification plant located in the Adriatic Sea, in the province of Rovigo, about 15 km off the coast of Porto Levante, a hamlet of Porto Viro. The terminal is connected to the national gas distribution network by a methane pipeline of approximately 25 kilometers, stretching as far as Cavarzere in the province of Venice. Sitting on the seabed at a depth of approximately 29 meters, the terminal is a platform with a total length of 375 meters and a width of 115 meters. The main deck is 18 meters above sea level. Managed by the facility Adriatic Lng, Snam is a subsidiary of Qatar Petroleum and ExxonMobil and started operations in the second half of 2009.
regasification plant Adriatic Lng Most important in Italy: with a regasification capacity of 9 billion cubic meters per year,Adriatic lng in fact, it represents more than half of the national LNG import capacity and can provide about 12 percent of national consumption. The regasification plant off Porto Levante imports LNG mainly from Qatar, but also from Egypt, Trinidad and Tobago, Equatorial Guinea and Norway.
What’s happeningAdriatic lng
from existing Snam data processed by TodayFor the past few days, the Adriatic Lng regasification plant has not been operating as it should. Today He contacted the terminal confirming that he had to reduce regasification activity due to bad weather conditions in the Adriatic Sea. In full working order, every dayAdriatic lng about 27 million cubic meters of gas is coming, but since Sunday 22 January these amounts have dropped to 6 million cubic meters, reaching 4 on Wednesday 25 January.
Today contacted the facility, which confirmed the problems and reduced activity due to bad weather. Second 3b Weather Weather conditions in the Upper Adriatic may deteriorate further in the coming days and therefore the operation of the Adriatic LNG terminal is likely to be further affected. But by the beginning of next week, the situation should improve.
