NATURAL GAS (NG)

NG (natural gas),

Natural gas (gas) is becoming an increasingly important component in Community energy supply, and, as indicated in the Green Paper "Towards a European strategy for the security of energy supply", the European Union is expected in the longer term to become increasingly dependent on gas imported from non-EU sources of supply.

Natural gas is a methane-rich combustible gas coming from natural fields.

natural gas and LPG used as propellants;

Natural gases with a λ-shift factor between 0,89 and 1,08 (0,89 <= Së <= 1,08) are considered to belong to H-range, while natural gases with a ë-shift factor between 1,08 and 1,19 (1,08 <= Së <= 1,19) are considered to belong to L-range.

Natural and derived gas purchased as raw material or for resale without transformation should be excluded.

natural gas in Member States in which the share of natural gas in final energy consumption was less than 15 % in 2000;

Natural gas (gas) is becoming an increasingly important component in Community energy supply, and, as indicated in the Green Paper "Towards a European strategy for the security of energy supply", the European Union is expected in the longer term to become increasingly dependent on gas imported from non-EU sources of supply.

for NG-fuelled gas engines where:

Supporting the construction of a new gas pipeline system to transit and supply natural gas to European countries,

Extraction of petroleum and natural gas for commercial purposes where the amount extracted exceeds 500 tons/day in the case of petroleum and 500 000 cubic metres/day in the case of gas.

` gas pipeline system` means a new pipeline system to transit and supply natural gas from the Russian Federation via the Black Sea and the territories of other countries representing a potential additional supply of natural gas to the Republic of Slovenia;

(b) liquefied natural gases of light hydrocarbons with methane as the main constituent (LNG) (LNG account); and

Surface industrial installations for the extraction of coal, petroleum, natural gas and ores, as well as bituminous shale.

The Parties proceed from the agreement that the gas pipeline shall have annual transmission capacity around 8 billion standard cubic meters of natural gas.

Should the founders decide to utilise the existing gas pipeline for transit of natural gas in accordance with the Article 4 of the present Agreement, the Russian founder or a legal entity designated by the Russian founder and a relevant transmission system operator shall conclude a long-term gas transportation contract for transportation of the agreed volumes of natural gas through the existing gas pipeline.

The Slovenian Party shall ensure all necessary conditions for full and unrestricted transportation of natural gas through the gas pipeline and, if relevant, the existing gas pipeline in accordance with the contracts concluded.

The Russian founder shall provide additional natural gas supplies from the Russian Federation to the Republic of Slovenia via the gas pipeline system and, if relevant, the existing gas pipeline, on market conditions.

` existing gas pipeline` means the natural gas transmission network on the territory of the Republic of Slovenia, which is owned and/or managed by Geoplin plinovodi, Ltd., on the date of the start of the operation of the gas pipeline system;

Aiming to facilitate the development of mutually beneficial cooperation in the field of energy and, inter alia, in ensuring stable supplies of natural gas from the Russian Federation to the Republic of Slovenia and other European countries,

Seeking to enhance energy security of the Republic of Slovenia and the Russian Federation, as well as other European countries, by diversifying the routes of supply of natural gas to European markets, and in order to positively influence the economic development,

One of the preconditions for the beginning of the gas pipeline construction is conclusion of long-term contract for transmission of volumes of natural gas in accordance with the Article 4 of the present Agreement through the gas pipeline, between the company and the Russian founder or a legal entity designated by the Russian founder.

For the purposes of this Article ` reasonable after-tax profit in this sector` means the average return on capital in the sector of transmission system operators of natural gas in the European Union, taking into account calculation of return generated by comparable projects for the last three years for which data are available.
