石油圈中国石化新闻网讯 据FinancialTribune网站12月18日消息，埃及的巨型祖尔气田上周六开始投产，推动该国向LNG供应自给自足的目标更进一步。
石油部长塔里克·莫拉在周六发布的一份声明中称，祖尔气田产出的天然气已被运往塞得港伽米尔区的新地面站，加工后进入国家天然气网络。
莫拉表示，天然气田前期将生产1000万立方米/天，并补充称，待2018年6月第一期项目完工，日产量将进一步提升至2800万立方米，意味着埃及可达成LNG供应自给自足的目标。
他说：“第二期项目将于2019年底完工。”届时日产量将达到7600万立方米。
埃及在2014年前一直是LNG净出口国。但近年来受政治动乱所引发的产量下降与电力短缺影响，已转变为净进口国。
今年10月，莫拉声明表示2018年将向埃及的祖尔气田、北亚历山大气田与努罗斯气田投资2730万美元。石油部表示，2018年，3个气田预计将使埃及天然气产量提升50%，到2020年提升100%. 詹乐乾 摘译自FinancialTribune 原文如下： Egypt’s Zohr Field Starts Gas Output at 10 mcm/d Egypt’s super-giant Zohr Gas Field started pumping on Saturday, bringing the country closer to achieving its goal of self-sufficiency in the supply of liquefied natural gas.
In a statement on Saturday, Petroleum Minister Tarek El-Molla said gas was now being pumped from Zohr to Port Said’s new land station at El-Gameel, where it is being treated and transferred to the national natural-gas network.
El-Molla said the gas field is set to produce an initial 10 million cubic meters per day. He added that once the first stage of the project is completed in June 2018, production will increase to 28 mcm, meaning Egypt would have achieved self-sufficiency in LNG supply.
“The second stage is due to be finalized by the end of 2019,” he said, with production reaching 76 mcm.
Egypt was a net exporter of LNG until 2014. However, it became a net importer in recent years due to a declining output and power shortages amid political turmoil.
In October, El-Molla announced that $27.3 million would be invested in three Egyptian natural gas fields—Zohr, North Alexandria, and Nooros—during 2018. The three gas fields are expected to raise Egypt’s natural gas output by 50% in 2018 and 100% in 2020, according to the ministry.
