加拿大的Goldboro LNG项目将在明年年中FID前发行股权

中国石化新闻网讯 据路透社11月12日伦敦消息称,加拿大东海岸Goldboro液化天然气(LNG)出口项目幕后公司Pieridae能源公司一位高管表示,该公司希望在明年年中做出最终投资决定(FID)之前发行新股权。 然而,该公司仍需要确定交易,以使其能够将原料气送入液化天然气设施并完成100亿加元(76亿美元)项目的融资。 周五晚些时候,布朗对路透表示:“在承购协议方面,我会把它放在一边,现在实际有三个要素分别是供应的最终化、运输的最终化和股权融资的最终化。” 他说:“融资将通过发行项目的股权来筹集资金,人们可以通过多种方式进入项目; 有这样的方式(购买工厂的股份)或只是投资这个项目。“ Goldboro在北美二十几个液化天然气出口项目中不同寻常之处在于它有一个主要客户承诺购买其产能的一半:Uniper同意从2023年开始运营20年,每年购买500万吨(mtpa)。 此外,德国政府还认定它有资格获得45亿美元的贷款担保。 根据Pieridae管理层讨论报告,这些担保将取决于Uniper向荷兰的Gate终端每年运送150万吨,并通过管道运往德国,供国内市场使用。 当被问及Pieridae是否会因此寻找欧洲合作伙伴时,布朗表示,随着与亚洲、欧洲和北美的利益集团进行交流,股权发行将对“任何人”开放。 相比于美国墨西哥湾沿岸正在计划中的数十个竞争项目而言,Goldboro位于加拿大东海岸新斯科舍省的工厂将液化天然气运往欧洲西北部的时间缩短了一半至6天。 但该公司还需要完成对在加拿大西部艾伯塔省生产天然气的Ikkuma Resources的收购,并将向LNG工厂供应天然气,以及与TransCanada签订协议,将天然气输送到Goldboro。 曹海斌 摘译自 路透社 原文如下: Canada’s Goldboro LNG project to issue equity before mid-2019 FID Pieridae Energy, the company behind the Goldboro liquefied natural gas (LNG) export project on Canada’s east coast, wants to issue new equity before taking a Final Investment Decision (FID) by the middle of next year, an executive said. However, the company still needs to finalise deals that will enable it to get feedgas into the LNG facility and complete the financing for the C$10 billion ($7.6 billion) project. “In terms of offtake agreements, I would set that aside,” Brown told Reuters late on Friday. “It’s really now three elements — finalisation of supply, finalisation of transport, and finalisation of equity financing.” “The financing would be to raise the capital through the issuance of equity in the project,” he said. “There’s various ways that people could enter into the project; there’s that way (to buy a stake in the plant) or simply to invest the project.” Goldboro is unusual among the two dozen North American LNG export projects in that it has one major customer committed to half of its capacity: Uniper agreed to buy 5 million tonnes a year (mtpa) for 20 years from the start of operations in 2023. In addition, it has been found eligible by the German government for $4.5 billion in loan guarantees. The guarantees would be dependent on Uniper delivering 1.5 mtpa to the Gate terminal in the Netherlands and shipping by pipeline to Germany for consumption on the domestic market, according to a Pieridae management discussion note. When asked whether Pieridae would therefore be looking for a European partner, Brown said the equity issue would be open to “whomever” with discussions taking place with Asian, European and north American interests. Goldboro’s site in Nova Scotia on Canada’s eastern coast, halves the time it takes to ship LNG to northwest Europe to 6 days compared to the U.S. Gulf Coast, where dozens of rival projects are planned. But the company also needs to finalise its acquisition of Ikkuma Resources, which produces natural gas in Alberta, western Canada, and will feed gas to the LNG plant, as well as an agreement with TransCanada to pipe the gas to Goldboro.
