Ashna Rahman: Nord Stream 2 is expensive project Europe doesn't need
According to the analyst, the project has no economic logic, because its use in the future will be limited.
"In a current scenario, not such a needed development in the European gas market. (...) At this point of time when Europe will be flooded with cheaper gas from all over the world, expensive infrastructure is not needed," she said at the Baltic Energy Forum 2015 organized by the business paper Verslo Zinios.
Rahman said that the launch of LNG exports by the United States would likely create a gas surplus in the world.
"There will be more than enough gas to meet the world's needs," she said.
According to the analyst, Lithuania and other European countries will be able to resell gas. The country will be able to resell LNG cargoes to make a profit in the short term.
