阿根廷明年将加入LNG出口商行列

中国石化新闻网讯 据路透社11月21日伦敦报道,比利时航运公司周三表示,阿根廷将于明年开始通过Exmar提供的浮式液化天然气液化(FLNG)船从其广阔的Vaca Muerta页岩气资源中出口液化天然气。 这项计划将于2019年第二季度启动,将把阿根廷引入由大约20个国家组成的LNG出口小俱乐部,而佛罗里达州仅是世界第四和最小的。 国家控股的石油公司YPF与埃克玛公司签署了一项为期10年的协议,在布宜诺斯艾利斯以南约400英里的东海岸Bahia Blanca部署基于驳船的FLNG,以前称为加勒比FLNG。 该港口是美国公司Excelerate提供的南美第一个液化天然气进口终端,一个浮动储存和再气化单元(FSRU)。然而,根据Refinitiv Eikon的数据,FSRU,即Excelerate Exemplar,于10月30日离开港口。 阿根廷将继续有能力通过停泊在靠近布宜诺斯艾利斯的埃斯科瓦尔的Excelerate Expedient FSRU进口液化天然气。新的进口船现在将被命名为Tango FLNG,预计每年最多可运送8艘货物。 “由于与埃斯玛的商业关系,我们现在能够为从Vaca Muerta提取的资源增加价值,并充分利用亚洲市场的季节性机会和我们独特的地理位置来为需求中心服务,”YPF总裁Miguel Gutierrez在声明中说。 Vaca Muerta类似于使美国能源工业重新焕发活力的页岩气储量。尽管阿根廷的大部分石油和天然气尚未开发,但它仍是地球上最大的非常规碳氢化合物储量之一。 李方征 编译自 路透社 原文如下: Argentina to join ranks of LNG exporters next year Argentina is due to begin exports of liquefied natural gas from a part of its vast Vaca Muerta shale gas resource next year through a floating LNG liquefaction (FLNG) vessel provided by Exmar, the Belgian shipping company said on Wednesday. The operations, due to start in the second quarter of 2019, will introduce Argentina into the small club of around 20 countries exporting LNG while the FLNG will be only the world’s fourth and the smallest. The country’s state-controlled oil company YPF signed a 10-year agreement with Exmar to deploy the barge-based FLNG, formerly known as the Caribbean FLNG, at Bahia Blanca on the east coast about 400 miles south of Buenos Aires. The port hosted South America’s first LNG import terminal, a floating storage and regasification unit (FSRU) provided by U.S. company Excelerate. However that FSRU, the Excelerate Exemplar, left the port on Oct 30, according to Refinitiv Eikon data. Argentina will continue to have the ability to import LNG through the Excelerate Expedient FSRU moored in Escobar, close to Buenos Aires. The new import vessel will now be named Tango FLNG and is expected to ship up to eight cargoes a year. “Thanks to the commercial relationship with Exmar, we are now able to add value to the resources extracted from Vaca Muerta, and take full advantage of the seasonal opportunity with Asian markets and our unique location to serve demand centers,” YPF President Miguel Gutierrez said in the statement. Vaca Muerta is similar to the shale gas deposits that have rejuvenated the U.S. energy industry. The Argentine play is one of the largest reserves of unconventional hydrocarbons on the planet, though much of its oil and gas remains untapped.
