Skanled was a planned natural gas offshore pipeline connecting Norway to Sweden and Denmark. ==Technical features== The submarine pipeline was to start in the Kårstø natural gas processing plant in western Norway, where it was to be connected with the Europipe II. It was to be run to eastern Norway, western Sweden and Denmark with exit points in Rafnes (Norway), Lysekil, Vallby Kile, Bua (Sweden) and Jutland (Denmark).〔 〕 It consist of: * A or gas pipeline from Kårstø to Rafnes * Ethane injection facilities at Kårstø * Ethane extraction facilities at Rafnes * A or gas pipeline from Rafnes with branches to pressure reduction stations in Sweden and Denmark.〔 〕 As part of the project, the pipeline was to transport also ethane, which would injected into the natural gas at Kårstø and transported with the natural gas to Rafnes, where it would separated and extracted from the gas. The separation facilities at Rafnes and the installations downstream the reduction stations in Sweden and Denmark were not part of the project.〔 The originally planned capacity of the pipeline was 6 billion cubic meter (bcm) of natural gas per year. The plans were upgraded to 7 bcm. The likelihood of greater future demand from Denmark and Poland, which plan to connect Skanled through Denmark with other planned pipeline, the Baltic Pipe between Denmark and Poland, may lead to widen the diameter of the pipe from the initial design.〔 〕 The pipeline was to be operational by October 2012.〔 〕 It was designed for 50 years of operation.〔 It expected to cost 10 billion Norwegian kroner.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Skanled」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
