Azerbaycan'da ne kadar gaz ve petrol var

Azerbaycan Sanayi ve Enerji Bakanı Natik Aliyev, ''Ülkesinde 100 yıldan daha fazla yetecek kadar doğalgaz rezervi bulunduğunu'' söyledi.

Aliyev, Atina'da yayımlanan Ethnos gazetesine verdiği demecinde, ''Azerbaycan'ın enerji rezervlerinin en geç 25-30 yıl içerisinde tükeneceğine ilişkin iddiaların gerçeği yansıtmadığını'' belirtti.

''Azerbaycan'da, bugünkü teknoloji ile kanıtlanmış 1,5 milyar ton petrol ve 2,2 trilyon metreküp doğal gaz rezervleri bulunduğunu'' ifade eden Aliyev, şöyle devam etti:

''Azerbaycan'ın yıllık petrol üretimi 50 milyon ton düzeyinde bulunmaktadır. Bu da yeni kaynaklar bulunmaması durumunda petrolün gerçekten 30 yıl içerisinde tükeneceği anlamına gelmektedir. Ancak, rezervlerden söz ederken bugünkü teknoloji ile elde dilebilenleri kast ediyoruz. Teknoloji geliştikçe elde edilen miktarın gelecekte yükselme olasılığı var. Doğal gaz konusunda ise yeni kaynaklar bulunmasa bile elimizde en az 100 yıllık üretime yetecek kadar rezerv bulunuyor. Ayrıca, BP, Total ve Statoil gibi şirketler tarafından yeni kaynak arama çalışmaları sürdürülüyor.''

Aliyev sorular üzerine, ''Azerbaycan'ın bu yıl petrol üretimini 50 milyon tondan 52,5 milyon tona yükselteceğini ve doğal gaz üretimini de 23,3 milyar metre küpten 28,5 milyar metreküpe çıkartacağını'' açıkladı.

Azerbaycan'ın, enerji alanında Rusya'nın rakibi olarak hareket ettiğine ilişkin iddialarla ilgili bir soruyu yanıtlayan Aliyev, ''Rusya'nın, Azerbaycan ile kıyaslanamayacak kadar büyük enerji kaynaklarına sahip olduğunu ve ülkesinin hiçbir zaman Rusya ile rekabet durumunda olmayacağını'' söyledi.

Aliyev, ''Biz, Rusya ile komşuyuz. Biz, enerji üretip bunu daha çok pazarlara ulaştırmanın yollarını aramak olan kendi stratejimizi izliyoruz'' diye konuştu.

A second pipeline to connect Turkey and Iran more

The talks took place during a visit to Ankara yesterday by Iran’s Oil Minister Masoud Mir-Kazemi, Turkish Energy Minister Taner Yıldız told reporters Friday.

Any pipeline would be built by private companies and Turkey would not be a partner, he said.

A pipeline with annual capacity of 10 billion cubic meters supplies Turkey with Iranian gas. The link was damaged in a July 21 explosion officials blamed on the Kurdistan Workers’ Party, or PKK.

Earlier Friday Iran's Oil Ministry said the country had signed a 1 billion euro ($1.3 billion) pipeline deal to take gas to Turkey, while Ankara denied the Turkish state was involved and a firm called Som Petrol said it was the partner.

"The one billion euro deal to build 660 km gas pipeline was signed on Thursday during the Iranian Oil Minister's trip to Turkey," the Iranian oil ministry said in a statement.

A senior Iranian official said Iran would pay a transit fee to export its natural gas to Europe using the pipeline crossing Turkey.

"The deal was signed between National Iranian Gas Export Co. and Turkey's ASB Co.," Javad Oji, head of the NIGC, told the Iranian Oil Ministry's official website SHANA.

"The pipeline will enable Iran to export 50 to 60 million meters of gas per day ... It will be constructed within three years."

Turkey needs more energy investment

Turkey will need to invest in its energy sector to secure sufficient supplies as demand rises, the International Energy Agency said today.

“Turkey will likely see the fastest medium to long-term growth in energy demand among the IEA member countries,” Nobuo Tanaka, the IEA’s executive director, said today in Ankara, according to a statement on the Paris-based adviser’s website.

Turkey’s economy expanded 11.7 percent in the first quarter from a year earlier. Turkey’s economy may expand 6 percent this year, Industry Minister Nihat Ergün said yesterday.

Turkey needs large investments in electricity and natural gas to supply affordable energy and to sustain rapid economic growth, he said. “Power sector reform is well under way, but in the natural gas sector reform has been slower and needs to be accelerated,” Tanaka said.

Turkey also has “large” potential to improve energy efficiency and limit carbon dioxide emissions which are likely to increase rapidly over the medium and long term, as energy demand rises, Tanaka said.

The IEA urged Turkey to set a target for limiting carbon- dioxide emissions even as the country plans to increase the use of renewable energy sources and to build nuclear power.

Tanaka also urged Turkey to increase emergency oil reserves and gas storage as imports almost double over the next year, by “swiftly” building a stockholding agency. IEA member countries are required to hold oil stocks equivalent to at least 90 days of net oil imports.

Turkey emitted 271.5 million metric tons of carbon dioxide from consumption and flaring of fossil fuels in 2008, according to the latest figures from the U.S. Energy Department. That is 5.8 percent of the total in Western Europe, the data show.
