Trans Adriatic Pipeline (TAP; , (アゼルバイジャン語:Trans Adriatik Boru Xətti) (ギリシア語:Αδριατικός Αγωγός Φυσικού Αερίου), (イタリア語:Gasdotto Trans-Adriatico)) is a pipeline project to transport natural gas from the Caspian sea (Azerbaijan), starting from Greece via Albania and the Adriatic Sea to Italy and further to Western Europe. == History == Trans Adriatic Pipeline project was announced in 2003 by Swiss energy company EGL Group (now named Axpo). The feasibility study was concluded in March 2006. Two options were investigated: a northern route through Bulgaria, the Republic of Macedonia and Albania, and a southern route through Greece and Albania, which finally was considered to be more feasible. In March 2007, the extended basic engineering for the pipeline was completed.〔 〕 On 13 February 2008, EGL Group and the Norwegian energy company Statoil signed an agreement to set up Trans Adriatic Pipeline AG, a joint venture to develop, build and operate the pipeline.〔 〕 In June 2008, the project company filed an application with the Greek authorities to build a section of the pipeline from Thessaloniki to the Greek-Albanian border.〔 〕 In January 2009, the TAP project carried out a marine survey in the Adriatic Sea to verify the offshore route for the future gas pipeline.〔 〕 A route assessment survey in Albania started in July 2009.〔 〕 In March 2009, an intergovernmental agreement between Italy and Albania on energy cooperation mentioned TAP as a project of common interest for both countries. In January 2010, TAP opened country offices in Greece, Albania and Italy.〔 〕 In March 2010, TAP submitted an application to Italian authorities for inclusion into the Italian gas network.〔 〕 On 20 May 2010, it was announced that E.ON becomes a partner in the project.〔 〕 The deal was successfully closed on 7 July 2010.〔 〕 In November 2010, TAP started a route refinement survey in northern Greece in preparation for the environmental impact assessment.〔 〕 On 7 September 2011, the Trans Adriatic Pipeline AG (TAP AG) submitted its EU Third Party Access Exemption applications in all three host countries. Exemption will allow TAP AG to enter into long term ship-or-pay gas transportation agreements with the shippers of Shah Deniz II gas.〔 〕〔 〕 The exemptions were granted on 16 May 2013.〔 〕〔 〕 In February 2012, the Trans Adriatic Pipeline was the first project to be pre-selected and to enter exclusive negotiations with the Shah Deniz Consortium.〔 〕 In August 2012, consortium partners BP, SOCAR and Total S.A. signed a funding agreement with TAP's shareholders, including an option to take up to 50% equity in the project.〔 〕 On 22 November 2012, the TAP consortium and Trans-Anatolian gas pipeline's partners signed a memorandum of understanding that establishes a cooperation framework between the two parties.〔 〕 In June 2013, the project was chosen as a route for gas from Shah Deniz II over the competing Nabucco West project.〔 〕 Later this year, BP, SOCAR, Total, and Fluxys became shareholders of the project.〔 〕 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「Trans Adriatic Pipeline」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
