石油圈中国石化新闻网讯 据彭博社2月20日消息称，艾伯塔省正在准备一个大型的铁路原油开采项目，以帮助其油砂生产商应对输油管道的紧张状况，并预计该项目将带来巨额利润。 根据周二发表声明，这个加拿大省拥有全球第三大原油储备，计划在投资28亿美元（37亿加元）租赁油罐车并从铁路供应商处购买服务后净赚17亿美元（22亿加元），销售额增加44.7亿美元(合59亿加元)，并增加了特许权使用费和税收。 这一铁路计划是艾伯塔省省长雷切尔·诺特帮助该省石油生产商的标志性举措之一，这些石油生产商受到管道短缺的影响，难以将原油运往美国墨西哥湾沿岸的炼油厂，令油价承压。出台之前，诺特还下令减产，以缓解运输压力，并减少储存中的过剩石油。 根据与加拿大太平洋铁路有限公司和加拿大国家铁路公司达成的协议，需要在三年内租赁4400辆铁路车辆，从该省的生产商处购买原油，然后将石油运往北美各个市场。该省希望通过向炼油厂获得的利润，以及额外的运输能力将支撑的油价上涨，创造收入。 该服务将于今年7月开始，日产量约为2万桶，然后到2020年中期达到12万桶的最大产能。该省仍在与潜在炼油厂进行谈判，但预计将向加拿大境内和美国墨西哥湾沿岸的炼油商出售。 该计划与诺特在去年11月的一次演讲中提出的大纲有一些不同。出租的4000辆铁路车辆（不包括购买或租赁车辆）低于原计划的7000辆卡车和80辆机车。该省表示，较低的数字是通过与铁路线路和更高效的线路谈判得出的。 曹海斌 摘译自 彭博社 原文如下： Alberta expects $1.7 billion profit from crude-by-rail operation Alberta is preparing a giant crude-by-rail operation to help its oil-sands producers cope with a pipeline crunch, and it expects a big profit from the venture. The Canadian province, which holds the world’s third-largest crude reserves, plans to net $1.7 billion (C$2.2 billion) after investing $2.8 billion (C$3.7 billion) to lease tank cars and buy service from rail providers, generating$4.47 billion (C$5.9 billion) from sales and increased royalty and tax revenue, according to a statement on Tuesday. The rail plan is one of Alberta Premier Rachel Notley’s signature moves to help the province’s oil producers, who have been hurt by pipeline shortages that have made it difficult to ship their crude to refiners on the U.S. Gulf Coast, weighing on prices. The plan also comes after Notley mandated production cuts to ease the strain on shipping capacity and work down a glut of oil that had built up in storage. The deal reached with Canadian Pacific Railway Ltd. and Canadian National Railway Co. entails leasing 4,400 rail cars over three years, buying crude from the province’s producers, and then shipping the oil to various markets throughout North America. The province expects to generate revenue from the profit it turns on selling crude to refiners, as well as from the higher oil prices that the additional shipping capacity will support. The service will begin in July with about 20,000 bopd before ramping up to its full capacity of 120,000 bopd by mid-2020. The province is still in negotiations with potential refiners, but expects to sell to refiners within Canada and along the U.S. Gulf Coast. The plan has a few differences from the outline Notley provided in a speech in November. The lease of 4,400 rail cars, without buying or leasing locomotives, is less than the 7,000 cars and 80 locomotives originally planned. The lower figure came about through negotiations with the rail lines and more efficient routes, the province said.
