Hungary Refuse To Share Gas With Other EU Countries by bn365: 4:51am On Jul 09, 2022
The Hungarian government has criticized the European Parliament's idea of ​​a "fair distribution of gas" between EU countries in the face of fuel shortages. Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto spoke about requests to "share gas".

"Gas bought with the money of Hungarian taxpayers and stored in Hungarian gas storage facilities will be used in Hungary. The EP proposal reminds us of communism in some way," the minister said.

Only if Nigeria had great leaders. Getting a loan to build a cross Atlantic gas pipeline to Europe wont be a bad idea.

Just imagine! Gas my country has been flaring in last 40 years!

The west are so proud and used to bullying nations that they cannot even accept that this time they will suffer for their actions and sanctions!!!

He who the gods wants to destroy they first make mad!! They’d be drowning in their illusion of being strong until they’d explode as a result of internal crisis!!

No need for Trans-Atlantic Gas pipeline, Europe is closer to North Africa & Nigeria do ship Gas to some countries in Europe, its left for them to strike a deal with Nigeria &Gas will get to them, that's all.

How Europe with no resources managed to scam the world by borrowing and pretending to be rich while rich countries like Nigeria, Venezuela and even to some extent Russia languish in poverty should be studied

It's called hard work and future projection

which hardwork? They won cold War against USSR and redesigned economy to be dependent on paper currency instead of resources. I'm only wondering how most countries fell for the obvious scam. Now that Russia has exposed ynash their governments are collapsing rapidly.
Nobody on earth has killed his brothers more than the Europeans.

By the way, it was hunger that drove them into the sea to go look for fertile lands

What do you think buhari administration is doing with AKK pipeline? Besides, do you know how long it takes to build something like that and how much money it takes?

There is need for Trans-Atlantic Gas pipeline. It reduces delay, cut cost among other benefits. Besides, Nigeria while rich in gas does not have the capacity to ramp up the production to service these economies. At least not yet.

.

If you're considering cost effective Pipeline Technology then Trans-Saharan Gas Pipeline is better off in cost &proximity to Europe. Do you know the cost of laying Gas pipeline underwater, deploying Subsea Technology via Atlantic to Europe? Difficult terrain & weather?
In Oil&Gas industry what determine the cost of production & Infrastructures is Location&Depth.

Are you also aware when Nigeria had surplus of Gas to supply but no market, massive Ships load of Gas were just anchoring, even before the Russian-Ukraine war.
Nigeria has the Gas production capacity to feed Europe.
We also lack the much needed storage Facilities to manage it here or perhaps make use of it or convert it to other purposes/usage.
We are trying to look at effective Gas-to-Liquid(GTL), Gas-to-Power(GTP) LNG, &recently LNG Train7 project etc.
Re: Hungary Refuse To Share Gas With Other EU Countries by saintkeppy(m): 5:05pm On Jul 09, 2022
Nigeria holds 187 trillion cubic feet (Tcf) of proven gas reserves as of 2017, ranking 9th in the world.

Nigeria's gas reserves are more than three times greater than its oil reserves, and the government is committed to increasing gas production for domestic supply as well as for export. The Trans-Saharan Gas Pipeline currently in development will enable Nigeria to supply the continent of Europe with gas.

Honestly bro... I'm not trash talking

Both sides fought wars but for what purposes?
Thats the important question

These Westerners are purely expansionist and assimiliators. The perspective of war was different. We fought wars of hatred or on religious backgrounds, but once we got control of the defeated area, we opted to destroy them instead of assimilating them.

No it is a ridiculous idea a very stupid one at that

It we had great leaders they would invest in infrastructure to increase OUR CAPACITY to USE gas INSIDE Nigeria both for home and industrial use. They should be curious about what the gas is used for when it reaches its destination.
Countries across Europe have infrastructure that means a domestic user can turn on a tap inside his house and gas is there. I am talking countries that IMPORT gas whilst we that have the gas what do we have? What do our people cook with? And we are talking of BORROWING to export whilst our own people are suffering.
Many of you that say this have no idea how cheap gas has always been and still is relatively speaking. without knowledge of the figures . It is not really worth it FOR US but it is a very good deal for European countries. Germany will go into recession without cheap Russian gas
We do not have electricity or any significant industrial capacity
When you export gas you are exporting jobs that our people should be doing.
Let us aim to USE OUR GAS inside Nigeria and West Africa. That is the way forward not selling our gas for peanuts to boost the progress of others
There is a concept of energy intensive products
e.g Glass, fertilizer cement,chemicals etc. These are all products whose production entails high energy costs . Germany has been a world leader in these products because of cheap Russian gas . We should see them as rivals in those industries and focus on HOW to be a major exporter of glass etc instead of exporting our children's future because of a LACK OF KNOWLEDGE of what to do with gas at home

What do we use to power our thermal stations?

Do you know how may industries run on gas in Nigeria?

Who told you Nigeria does does not know what gas is used for?


smh....

smh....

And we have enough power? Nigerians are really enjoying electricity aren't they?
The point is our gas usage is less than 1% of what it should be. Let us BORROW to help ourseleves and not Europe
This is not a thing of argument

The facts are there for the countries that use gas , Nigeria is not in the top 35 but is NUMBER 7 by population.
Well if Nigeria knew what to do with gas we won't be importing glass, industrial chemicals or fertilizer.
Our people would not be cooking with kerosene
Crucially rather than just guessing what is the business case for borrowing to build a pipeline to export gas to Europe and WHY should Nigeria pay for it. Why can't Europe pay?

The reality is that even with the Ukraine war gas is relatively cheap and that is why we are even considering such a pipeline
It is 97 % to the benefit of Europe and 3% to ours.
One day Europe and Russia will settle their issues .We need to PUT NIGERIA FIRST
Let us use our gas in Nigeria.
Selling gas to Europe will not generate any significant revenue
