Southern Gas Corridor could be a competitor for Egypt’s gas hub ambitions

Competition for Egypt’s regional gas hub plans? The most viable option for Israeli natural gas exports is the Southern Gas Corridor, Cyril Widdershoven, a partner at Dutch risk consultancy Verocy and SVP MEA-Risk, told Azerbaijan’s Trend news agency. The Southern Gas Corridor is the network of pipelines and infrastructure developments aimed at connecting Azerbaijan all the way to Italy through Georgia and Turkey. Widdershoven says that, while the option for Israel to export gas to Egypt is attractive, the security situation in Sinai is a “major stumble block.”
