SOCAR和Romgaz签署项目开发谅解备忘录

据10月28日-Neftegaz.RU巴库报道，阿塞拜疆SOCAR和罗马尼亚Romgaz公司已经签署了一份关于在地质勘探和生产方面合作的谅解备忘录。该文件设想在两国建立战略合作的框架内联合开展项目。

Romgaz首席执行官Adrian Volintiru表示:“与SOCAR这样的伙伴合作，对两家公司来说都有利。”用他的话讲，两国在石油和天然气行业有着相似的历史，技术和经验的交流将会使合作取得成功。

此前，SOCAR表示有兴趣与Romgaz在黑海天然气勘探和生产方面进行合作，而Romgaz表示有意与SOCAR在阿塞拜疆的陆上地区域和里海的近海区域进行合作。

Romgaz是罗马尼亚最大的天然气生产商和主要供应商。该公司主要的股东是持有70%股份的罗马尼亚政府。自2011年以来，SOCAR通过子公司SOCAR Petroleum在罗马尼亚分销市场发挥了重要作用。

SOCAR在罗马尼亚的活动与石油产品的零售贸易有关。该公司在罗马尼亚20个地区拥有43个加油站。SOCAR计划将罗马尼亚的加油站网络扩大到60个。

罗马尼亚和阿塞拜疆还合作开发“阿塞拜疆-格鲁吉亚-罗马尼亚互联”能源项目，该项目旨在使欧洲能源供应来源多样化（阿塞拜疆向罗马尼亚和中欧运输天然气）。
