Slovenia section of S Stream to carry 22-24 bln cu m of gas

LJUBLJANA, March 23 (Itar-Tass) - The carrying capacity of the
Slovenian section of the South Stream gas pipeline will be 22,000-24,000
million cubic metres of gas, counting out deliveries of gas to Slovenia,
Gazprom CEO Alexei Miller told journalists here on Tuesday.
Miller specified that the scope would depend on the amounts of gas
deliveries to Austria across Slovenian territory. A joint-venture
enterprise will be established on a parity basis and will function in
Ljubljana, Miller pointed out.
"Managerial bodies will be set up and the preparation of a feasibility
study and cost analysis will be completed soon," Miller added, specifying
that the maximum period for doing that would be "until the end of July".
Investments in the Slovenian section of the South Stream will amount to
1,000 million euros.
