天然气需求增加 沙特与阿布扎比组成了LNG联盟

中国石化新闻网讯 据普氏能源资讯11月13日伦敦消息称,随着海湾地区最大的阿拉伯经济体对天然气的需求激增,沙特阿拉伯和阿布扎比同意探索液化天然气的全球机遇。 国家控制的生产商沙特阿美公司和阿布扎比国家石油公司(ADNOC)本周表示,他们将在ADIPEC能源会议期间签署框架协议后,就未来可能的天然气和液化天然气投资进行合作,并分享技术知识。 ADNOC首席执行官Sultan Al Jaber在达成协议后发表声明说:“阿联酋和沙特阿拉伯在共同的战略利益基础上建立了牢固的关系。ADNOC与沙特阿美公司之间加强合作将确保两国的能源安全和长期经济繁荣。” 尽管海湾地区仅次于沙特的第二大阿拉伯经济体—阿联酋拥有重要的上游天然气资源并出口液化天然气,但它仍依赖于通过Dolphin管道从卡塔尔进口的天然气供应。然而,多哈陷入与海湾各国的激烈政治争端中,这些国家对富含天然气的酋长国进行了经济抵制。尽管在整个抵制过程中天然气持续流经Dolphin管道,但除非能够找到解决争端的政治办法,否则从卡塔尔获得额外供应以满足不断增长的需求的可能性不大。 为了满足未来的需求,阿联酋的七个酋长国中的一些国家现在正转向进口液化天然气。联邦的第二大酋长国迪拜曾经是主要的天然气生产商,它们正在其杰贝阿里接收终端接收液化天然气货物。与此同时,沙迦正在考虑建立一个离岸再气化设施。 根据最新的BP统计报告,阿联酋去年的天然气储量约为6万亿立方米,产量为604亿立方米,其中大部分来自阿布扎比。 陈菲 摘译自 普氏能源资讯 原文如下: Saudi Arabia, Abu Dhabi form LNG alliance as gas demand surges Saudi Arabia and Abu Dhabi have agreed to explore global opportunities in LNG as demand for gas in the Gulf’s largest Arab economies surges. State-controlled producers Saudi Aramco and Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC) said this week they will work together on potential future gas and LNG investments and share technical knowledge after signing a framework agreement on the sidelines of the ADIPEC energy conference. “The UAE and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia have a strong relationship built on shared strategic interests,” said Sultan Al Jaber, ADNOC’s CEO in a statement following the deal. “Increased cooperation between ADNOC and Saudi Aramco will ensure greater energy security and long-term economic prosperity for both nations.” Despite holding significant upstream gas resources and exporting LNG, the UAE – the Gulf’s second-largest Arab economy after Saudi – is dependent on supplies of natural gas imported from Qatar through the Dolphin pipeline. However, Doha is locked in a bitter political dispute with larger Gulf states who have imposed an economic boycott on the gas-rich sheikhdom. Although flows through Dolphin have continued throughout the boycott, the prospect of securing additional supplies from Qatar to meet growing demand are unlikely unless a political solution to the dispute can be found. To meet future demand some of the seven emirates in the UAE are now turning to LNG imports. Dubai – the federation’s second largest sheikhdom and once a major gas producer – is receiving LNG shipments at its Jebel Ali receiving terminal. Meanwhile, Sharjah is considering building an offshore regasification facility. The UAE holds around 6 trillion cubic meters of gas reserves produced 60.4 Bcm last year, mostly from Abu Dhabi, according to the latest BP Statistical Review.
