Italian natural gas network operator Snam, one of Europe’s leading energy infrastructure companies, said it expected Kuwait Petroleum Corp., the Arab Gulf oil and gas company, to select a winner soon to run a liquefied natural gas import facility for which Italy’s grid operator has made a bid through a subsidiary.
The liquefied natural gas hub and terminal project planned by Greek company Gastrade for the port of Alexandroupolis to serve the Balkans has revised its invitation for expressions of interest as the delivery of the floating storage and regasification unit will take six months longer than originally scheduled.
European liquefied natural gas terminal stakeholders and network operators in Spain, Italy and Belgium have completed their acquisition of majority control of the Greek gas grid operator DEFSA, sold in a tender by the government privatization agency.
