Romania will be connected to a gas corridor with Greece via Bulgaria, after contracts were signed in Sofia for the construction of two gas transmission routes under a project to extend the Bulgarian network and the vertical gas corridor project connecting Greece, Bulgaria and Romania.

These were signed between the Bulgarian state gas operator Transgaz and the consortium created specifically for the two routes Kulata-Kresna and Rupcia-Vetrino in a consortium between the Americans of the Hill company and the Bulgarians of Glavbolgarstroy.

The orders are worth a total of around €250 million.

The third contract for the construction of a gas pipeline from Piperevo to Pernik, won by a consortium formed by the Romanian subsidiary of the Austrian company Habau and the American partners, has not yet been signed.

Its value is less than 100 million Bulgarian leva. With the contracts now signed with the Hill International GBS-1 and Hill International GBS-3 consortiums, real work has begun on increasing the possibilities of gas transportation from the Bulgarian border with Greece to the Romanian border and then to Hungary, Slovakia, Moldova and Ukraine.

Once the capacity expansion is completed, Bulgaria's gas transmission infrastructure will be able to supply additional quantities of natural gas from reliable sources, including the US, Azerbaijan, Egypt and other countries, the Bulgarian government press service said.
