中国石化新闻网讯 据普氏能源资讯达卡9月27日消息称,由于孟加拉国主要港口管理局的反对,以及第一个全尺寸FSRU的液化天然气进口增加,该国已经搁置了三个小型浮式储存和再气化装置的计划。 此次取消令大宗商品交易商和船运公司感到失望,它们正与国有石油公司Petrobangla就建设小型液化天然气项目或向其供应天然气进行谈判。 据业内高管表示,小型液化天然气项目的成本相对较高,这些终端的天然气供应成本以及感兴趣的赞助商的拖延导致了能源部搁置该项目。 Petrobangla的主席Abul Mansur Md Faizullah周二告诉普氏能源资讯:“我们现在不考虑这些小型FSRU,因为此前计划的浮式液化天然气终端已经投入使用,并且正向消费者提供再气化的液化天然气。” Faizullah表示,商品交易商托克,贡沃尔和维托尔以及比利时Exmar航运公司正在与Petrobangla及其子公司Rupantarita Prakritik 天然气有限公司进行最后谈判,以建造小型FSRU并向Petrobangla出售天然气。 RPGCL负责监测孟加拉国的液化天然气进口及其设施。 去年12月,Petrobangla已经与托克和贡沃尔达成了初步协议,准备在10年多的时间里供应约20万立方英尺/天的再气化液化天然气。 普氏此前报道,5月初,Petrobangla放弃了与托克达成的初步协议,原因是该托克延迟同意SPA协议条款,包括液化天然气规格和任何潜在争端解决的地点。它与贡沃尔的初步协议也没有取得进一步进展。 Faizullah澄清道:“我们与这些公司没有任何具有约束力的协议可以授予建造小型FSRU的合同,并向我们供应再气化液化天然气。” 根据Petrobangla的说法,小型FSRU的目的是在孟加拉湾的埃克斯特能源公司的Moheshkhali FSRU试运行之前供应天然气,两个项目的天然气终端用户都是在港口城市孟加拉吉大港。 吉大港港口管理局警告称,如果小型FSRU停靠在那里,相邻河流卡纳普里河的通航能力可能会受到严重影响,该国能源部的一名高级官员本周表示。 这位官员补充说,孟加拉国能源部计划建造小型FSRU,每个天然气的容量约为150-200万立方英尺/天,毗邻现有的平台和卡纳普里河上的码头。 吉大港港务局管理和规划成员扎因阿拉姆周一说:“我们向有关当局发送了关于建立FSRU的观察报告。” 根据CPA统计数据,吉大港是孟加拉国最大的海港,它负责处理该国90%的贸易,也被印度、尼泊尔和不丹用于转运。根据劳氏伦敦名单,它在2017年被评为世界上第71个最繁忙的港口。 国营Petrobangla从9月9日开始通过埃克斯特能源公司的FSRU从卡塔尔的拉斯加斯进口液化天然气,这是孟加拉国第一个液化天然气进口设施,位于孟加拉湾的莫赫斯卡哈伊岛。 曹海斌 摘译自 普氏能源资讯 原文如下: Bangladesh shelves mini-FSRU projects as LNG imports ramp-up Bangladesh has shelved plans for three small-scale floating storage and re-gasification units following objections from the country’s main port authority, and as LNG imports at its first full-sized FSRU ramp up. The cancellation comes as a disappointment for the commodity traders and shipping companies who were in talks with state-run national oil company Petrobangla for building the small-scale LNG projects or supplying gas to them. The relatively high cost of small-scale LNG projects, the cost of gas supplies from these terminals and delays from interested sponsors, contributed to the shelving of the project by the energy ministry, according to industry executives. “We are not considering these small FSRUs now as the previously planned floating LNG terminal has already been commissioned, and is supplying re-gasified LNG to consumers,” Petrobangla’s chairman Abul Mansur Md Faizullah told S&P Global Platts Tuesday. Faizullah said commodity traders Trafigura, Gunvor and Vitol, as well as Belgium-based shipping company Exmar NV were in final talks with Petrobangla and its subsidiary, Rupantarita Prakritik Gas Company Ltd, to build the mini FSRUs and sell the gas to Petrobangla. RPGCL is in charge of monitoring LNG imports and its facilities in Bangladesh. In December last year, Petrobangla had inked preliminary agreements with Trafigura and Gunvor for the supply of around 200,000 Mcf/day of regasified-LNG each for over 10 years. In early May, Petrobangla abandoned the preliminary deal with Trafigura due to delays in agreeing to the terms of the SPA, including the LNG specification and the location for any potential dispute settlement, Platts reported previously. A preliminary deal with Gunvor also did not progress further. “We don’t have any binding agreement with any of these firms to award contracts to build small FSRUs and supply re-gasified LNG to us,” Faizullah clarified. The small-scale FSRUs were meant to supply gas ahead of the commissioning of Excelerate Energy’s Moheshkhali FSRU in the Bay of Bengal, and the end-users of natural gas from both projects are the same in the port city of Chattogram, according to Petrobangla. PORT CONSTRAINTS The Chittagong Port Authority has warned that the navigability of the adjacent River Karnaphuli might be badly affected if the small FSRUs were docked there, a senior official at the country’s energy ministry said this week. The official added that Bangladesh’s energy ministry was planning to build mini FSRUs with a capacity of around 150-200 MMcf/d of natural gas each, adjacent to an existing platform and jetties on the River Karnaphuli. “We sent our observations over building of the FSRUs to the concerned authorities,” Chittagong Port Authority’s member for administration and planning Md Zafor Alam said Monday. Chittagong Port is Bangladesh’s largest sea port that handles 90% of the country’s trade and is also used by India, Nepal and Bhutan for transshipment, according to CPA statistics. It ranked as the 71st busiest port in the world in 2017, according Lloyd’s List of London. State-run Petrobangla started LNG imports from Qatar’s RasGas from September 9 via Excelerate Energy’s FSRU Excellence, which is Bangladesh’s first LNG import facility, located at Moheshkhali Island in the Bay of Bengal.
