石油圈中国石化新闻网讯 据路透社新加坡报道，日本大阪天然气有限公司正在考虑扩大其东南亚业务，一位高管表示，因为东南亚地区的天然气需求正在蓬勃发展，但国内储备正在迅速减少。 作为全球最大的天然气公用事业和LNG进口商之一的大阪天然气，由于市场成熟和人口萎缩，其国内需求不断下滑，正日益转向海外。 大阪天然气执行主席兼首席亚洲代表Kazuhisa Yano在大宗商品峰会访谈时表示：越南是其中一个机会。由于人口众多，经济增长迅猛，越南是亚洲发展最快的能源市场之一，但其现有的石油和天然气储量正在迅速下降。 Yano周二在新加坡参加行业会议时对路透社表示：“我们将研究越南的天然气市场，越南有几个工业园，而且有对这类工业用途天然气的需求。越南目前没有进口任何LNG，但正计划在未来几年开始生产，就像印尼和菲律宾等东南亚国家一样。” 国际能源机构（IEA）本周表示，东南亚是未来LNG需求增长的核心，预计到2023年全球LNG将增长三分之一，达到5000亿立方米（3.7亿吨）。 尽管大阪天然气将越南视为一个潜在的市场，但它也将考虑扩大其目前在该地区的业务。 Yano表示，该公司已经在新加坡、泰国、印度尼西亚和菲律宾等地设有销售和贸易等业务的子公司。 像越南一样，菲律宾的国内天然气储备正在枯竭，不久将需要LNG来满足新的发电项目的需求，公司正考虑作为供应商进入该市场。 印尼目前仍是LNG出口国，但其储备不断减少和投资不足也导致产量下降，因此，大阪天然气于10月份宣布与印尼国家石油公司Pertamina启动天然气联合营销业务。Yano表示，大阪天然气也在考虑投资印尼的LNG接收站和发电资产。 詹晓晶摘自路透社 原文如下： Japan’s Osaka Gas looks to Southeast Asia for LNG business Japan’s Osaka Gas Co Ltd is considering expanding its Southeast Asia operations, a top executive said, tapping a region where natural gas demand is booming but domestic reserves are dwindling fast. Osaka Gas, one of the world’s biggest gas utilities and importers of liquefied natural gas (LNG), is increasingly turning abroad as it faces faltering demand at home due to a mature market and shrinking population. One opportunity is Vietnam, Kazuhisa Yano, Executive Chairman and Chief Asia Representative of Osaka Gas, told the Reuters Commodity Summit interview series. Kazuhisa Yano Vietnam is one of Asia’s fastest-expanding energy markets due to a large population and sharp economic growth, but reserves at its existing oil and gas fields are declining fast. “We will … study Vietnam’s gas market,” Yano said on Tuesday, talking to Reuters while attending an industry conference in Singapore. “There are several industry parks in Vietnam, and (there is) demand for gas for such kinds of industrial (purposes).” Vietnam does not currently import any LNG, but is planning to start in coming years, like other Southeast Asian countries such as Indonesia and the Philippines. The International Energy Agency (IEA) said this week that Southeast Asia is at the heart of future LNG demand growth, which it expects to increase by a third globally to 500 billion cubic meters (370 million tonnes) by 2023. While Osaka Gas reviews Vietnam as a potential market, it will also look into expanding its current operations in the region. The firm already has subsidiaries for operations such as sales and trading in Singapore, Thailand, Indonesia and the Philippines, Yano said. Like Vietnam, domestic gas reserves are running out in the Philippines, and LNG will soon be needed to meet demand from new power generation projects. Yano said Osaka Gas was considering entering that market as a supplier. In Indonesia, which is still an LNG exporter but where dwindling reserves and a lack of investment have also resulted in falling production, Osaka Gas in October announced the launch of a natural gas joint marketing business with Indonesia’s state-owned Pertamina. Yano said Osaka Gas was also considering investment into LNG receiving terminals and power generation assets in Indonesia.
