石油圈中国石化新闻网讯 据路透社多哈报道，本月，卡塔尔出人意料地宣布退出欧佩克后，卡塔尔石油公司首席执行官对路透社表示，卡塔尔石油希望在未来几年内在美国投资至少200亿美元。 拥有全球顶级LNG供应商能源组合的Saad al-Kaabi（卡塔尔能源大臣兼卡塔尔石油公司首席执行官）也于周日表示，该公司的目标是宣布外国合作伙伴，以便在明年年中之前在国内大规模扩张所需的新型LNG生产线，但也不排除单独行动的可能性。 卡塔尔是一个虽小但富有的国家，由于其每年7700万吨的LNG产量，它是LNG市场上最有影响力的参与者之一。该公司计划在2023-2024年之前将产能提高43%，并将为LNG的扩张建造四条液化生产线。 Kaabi表示，作为其在美国 2 0 0多亿美元投资推动的一部分，该公司正在考虑“常规和非常规的天然气和石油”。 卡塔尔石油是德克萨斯州Golden Pass液化天然气终端的主要拥有者，埃克森美孚和康菲石油公司持有较小的股份。 Kaabi表示，他预计将就这一投资以及是否在今年年底（如果不是，那就是明年1月）推进该项目做出最终决定。 卡塔尔石油上周日单独宣布，它将与意大利石油巨头埃尼合作，在墨西哥的三个油田项目中拥有35%的股份，这些油田将于2019年中开始生产，到2021年将增加到每天约9万桶。 Kaabi称，该公司正在与包括埃尼在内的国际石油公司就卡塔尔国内的LNG扩建项目进行谈判。已经在卡塔尔开展业务的其他合作伙伴包括埃克森美孚、道达尔、荷兰皇家壳牌和埃尼。 卡塔尔石油表示，它将为LNG的扩张提供自我融资，而不是借款，这与此前利用贷款机构为高达 7 0% 的项目成本提供资金的做法不同。 Kaabi表示，如果外国公司不能提供好的报价，它也可以单独进行扩张。 他说：“我们正在我们的合作伙伴中寻找很多东西，包括资产互换，这些东西将帮助我们实现国际化扩张。” 该公司目前每天生产480万桶石油当量，目标是通过扩大其海外上游业务，在未来8年将产量提高到650万桶。 詹晓晶摘自路透社 原文如下： Qatar Petroleum to invest $20 billion in U.S. in major expansion Qatar Petroleum (QP) is looking to invest at least $20 billion in the United States over the coming few years, its chief executive told Reuters, after the Gulf Arab state unexpectedly quit OPEC this month. Saad al-Kaabi, who holds the energy portfolio of the world’s top liquefied natural gas (LNG) supplier, also said on Sunday the company aimed to announce foreign partners for new LNG trains needed for an ambitious domestic scale-up by the middle of next year, but was keeping open the possibility of going it alone. Qatar, a tiny but wealthy country is one of the most influential players in the LNG market due to its annual production of 77 million tonnes. It plans to boost capacity 43 percent by 2023-2024 and will be building four liquefaction trains for the LNG expansion. As part of its more than $20 billion investment push in the U.S. QP is looking “at gas and oil, conventional and non-conventional,” Kaabi said. Qatar Petroleum is majority owner of the Golden Pass LNG terminal in Texas, with Exxon and ConocoPhillips (COP.N) holding smaller stakes. Kaabi said he expected to make a final decision on that investment and whether to move ahead with the project “by the end of the year, if not January.” Qatar Petroleum announced separately on Sunday that it was partnering with Italian oil major Eni (ENI.MI) on three oil fields in Mexico, taking a 35 percent stake in deposits that will begin production in mid-2019 and ramp up to about 90,000 barrels per day by 2021. The company is in talks with international oil firms about the LNG expansion project at home, including Eni, Kaabi said. Other partners already operating in Qatar include Exxon Mobil Corp (XOM.N), Total (TOTF.PA), Royal Dutch Shell (RDSa.L) and ENI (ENI.MI). QP said it will self-finance the LNG expansion rather than borrow, a shift from previous practices where it used lenders to fund up to 70 percent of project costs. Kaabi said it could carry out the expansion alone if no good offers from foreign firms were made. “We are looking for a lot of things (in our partners) including asset swaps, things that will help me in my international expansion,” he said. The company currently pumps 4.8 million barrels of oil equivalent per day (boed) and aims to boost its output to 6.5 million boed in the next 8 years by expanding its upstream business abroad.
