Application of European functional gas standards in WestMoldovatransgaz 市场调研讨论 (20120405) Engineer-metrologist, SE WestMoldovatransgaz Ms. Kirilov Ana
Introduction Legislative framework on natural gas is: - Law on Natural Gas 123 was adopted on December 23, 2009 (with some amendments in 2011); - Energy Strategy of Moldova until 2030 was adopted by Resolution of the Government 102 of 5 th February, 2013. Analysis of these documents demonstrates the following state objectives in this area: - Provision of energy security; - Liberisation of the energy and gas markets and restructuring of the energy complex in the context of requirements of integration into the European energy system; - Connection of the gas infrastructures of the Republic of Moldova to that of and Romania allowing for Moldova s active participation in South East Europe.
Promotion of investment projects into the natural gas infrastructure Pipeline Yassy-Ungueny is a project connecting the gas transportation systems of Moldova and Romania, total length of 43.2 km (out of which 10.48 km in Moldova) and capacity of 1.5 bcm/yr. State Enterprise "Vestmoldtransgaz" was established by Resolution of the Government 501 of June 1, 2014 года to administer the pipeline Yassy-Ungueny and maintain transportation of gas through the Republic of Moldova. On January 6, 2015 SE "Vestmoldtransgaz obtained a license to transport gas via the Yassy-Ungueny pipeline and looking forward to Chişinau. The license is given for 25 years. Vestmoldtransgaz is the second enterprise in Moldova having the right to transport gas.
Promotion of investment projects into the natural gas infrastructure In September 2014 JSC Energocom" received a license to transport gas at non-regulated tariffs in Moldova, and in December 2014 a gas delivery contract was signed with Romanian partner, OMV Petrom Gaz S.R.L. Gas delivery to consumers via the Yassy-Ungueny pipeline started March 4, 2015. 680 mln m 3 of gas has been transported so far.

Domestic database of regulatory documents By request of SE Vestmoldtransgaz the National Standardisation Institute introduced the following European standards in Moldova: -SM SR EN ISO 10715:2015 Gaz natural. Linii directoare pentru eşantionare; -SM SR EN ISO 19739:2014 Gaz natural. Determinarea compuşilor cu sulf prin cromatografie; -SM SR EN ISO 12213-1:2014 Gaz natural. Calculul factorului de compresibilitate. Partea 1: Introducere şi linii directoare; -SM SR EN ISO 12213-2:2014 Gaz natural. Calculul factorului de compresibilitate. Partea 2: Calcul pe baza analizei compoziţiei molare;
Domestic database of regulatory documents -SM SR EN ISO 18453:2014 Gaz natural. Corelarea între conţinutul de apă şi punctul de rouă al apei; -SM SR EN ISO 1776:2014 Alimentare cu gaz. Staţii de măsurare gaze naturale. Prescripţii funcţionale; -SM SR EN ISO 13443:2014 Gaz natural. Condiţii de referinţă standard; -SM SR EN ISO 6143:2012 Analiză de gaze. Metode comparative pentru determinarea şi verificarea compoziţiei amestecurilor de gaze pentru etalonare; -SM SR EN 12405-1+A2:2013 Contoare de gaz. Dispozitive de conversie. Partea 1: Conversie a volumului de gaz;
Nonconformity: There are still a number of applied standards which are necessary to check for compliance with the European ones: -SM GOST 31369:2009 (ISO 6976:1995) Natural gas. Calculation of calorific value, density and relative density and Wobbe index from composition; -GOST 30319.0-96 Natural gas. Methods of calculation of physical properties. General requirements; -GOST 30319.1-96 Natural gas. Methods of calculation of physical properties. Determination of physical properties of natural gas, its components and gas products; -GOST 30319.3-96 Natural gas. Methods of calculation of physical properties. Determination of physical properties by condition equation, etc.
Nonconformity: Given that SE Vestmoldtransgaz receives gas from Romania (EU member state), we are facing an issue of standards. In Moldova post-ussr standards GOST are still applied. The National Standardisation Institute in line with the provisions of the Association agreement with the EU, Moldova has adopted many European standards, but some Russian standards are still in effect.
Conclusions: Processes of integration of the gas market of Moldova into the EU internal market are designed for the long term perspective, while the energy system of the country, its economy and population will live during the transition period. The Strategy foresees full integration into the EU internal market in 2020. Pursuing the this task, it is required to timely harmonise the legislation with the requirements of the Energy Community and EU aquis communautaire, thus ensuring the legislative and regulatory compatibility with these markets
