Poland to buy compressed gas from Norway while pipeline under development

Poland intends to buy compressed natural gas from Norway until a planned pipeline between the two countries is completed, Polish Prime Minister Marek Belka said.
"The projects for building such a pipeline are not very clear. While waiting for them to be realized some day we are interested in buying compressed gas," Belka said at a press conference with his Norwegian counterpart Kjell Magne Bondevik.
Belka said Poland's national gas company PGNiG has signed a letter of intent on compressed gas purchases with Norway's Statoil, but gave no further details.
Poland found its gas supplies from Russia temporarily cut off earlier this year when Gazprom halted deliveries to Belarus for nonpayment, leading Warsaw to explore the possibility of a pipeline with Norway to diversify its natural gas supply.
