石油圈中国石化新闻网讯 据道琼斯澳大利亚墨尔本12月18日消息，根据与澳大利亚反垄断部门达成的一项旨在促进市场竞争的协议，必和必拓和埃克森美孚将为双方在澳大利亚南部合资项目的天然气争夺客户。 自1969年吉普斯兰盆地合资天然气项目投产以来，必和必拓和埃克森美孚一直合作营销天然气，但是在澳洲竞争与消费者委员会(ACCC)进行一项调查后，必和必拓和埃克森美孚表示，从2019年1月份起，将各自营销该合资项目生产的天然气。 该合资项目是澳大利亚东南部各州最大的天然气项目。近几年来受澳大利亚东海岸大型液化天然气（LNG）工厂出口增加以及电力公司纷纷转向燃气发电以弥补老旧燃煤发电厂关闭导致的供电能力下降的影响，澳大利亚天然气市场供应日趋紧张，并导致天然气价格飙升，在这种情况下，必和必拓和埃克森美孚公司的联合营销结构受到买家的强烈批评。 张春晓 摘译自 道琼斯 原文如下： BHP, Exxon Agree to Compete in Marketing Gas From Australian Venture BHP Billiton Ltd. (BHP) and Exxon Mobil Corp. (XOM) will compete for customers for natural gas from their joint venture in southern Australia as part of a deal struck with the country’s antitrust regulator aimed at boosting competition. The pair have jointly marketed gas since their Gippsland Basin venture started production in 1969, but in the wake of an investigation by the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission said they would each market their share of the fuel from January 2019. The venture is the largest producer of natural gas in the country’s southeastern states. The marketing structure has faced heightened criticism from buyers in recent years as the market has tightened and prices have jumped with the ramp-up of exports from large liquefied natural gas plants on the east coast, and as utilities have turned to gas-fired power stations to counter capacity lost with the closure of aging coal stations.
