石油圈中国石化新闻网讯 据OGJ网12月7日消息 位于首尔的韩国开发商EPIK提议在澳大利亚东海岸悉尼北部的纽卡斯尔港建立一个浮动液化天然气（LNG）进口码头。 EPIK已与纽卡斯尔港签署协议，对该项目进行初步工作，预计该项目将耗资4.3亿美元（包括陆上基础设施）。 该公司指出，根据对新南威尔士天然气市场的评估，特别是在纽卡斯尔和悉尼等东海岸中心，新的低成本浮动储存和再气化装置（FSRU）码头将是可行的。它将提供能够长期向该区域提供具有成本效益的替代气体供应源的基础设施。 纽卡斯尔液化天然气的产能约为150万吨/年。这将是第五个LNG进口码头，预计满足澳大利亚未来东海岸的需求—即一个为南澳大利亚，两个为维多利亚，一个为新南威尔士。然而，分析师质疑多个进口设施的可行性。 总部位于阿德莱德的咨询公司EnergyQuest表示，由于巴斯海峡的低产量，9月份国内总供应量确实下降了18.8千兆焦耳，不过随着煤炭和可再生能源替代天然气用于电力发电，天然气使用量下降了25%（16.6千兆焦耳），抵消了这种下降，EnergyQuest预计这种趋势将持续到2019。 另一方面，这位顾问对昆士兰天然气储量能否继续弥补东海岸南部地区未来的供应短缺表示怀疑。这增加了在悉尼南部肯布拉港和维多利亚西部港湾克里布点建立液化天然气进口码头的紧迫感。 王磊 摘译自 OGJ 原文如下： South Korean developer EPIK, based in Seoul, has proposed the establishment of a floating LNG import terminal at the Port of Newcastle north of Sydney on Australia’s east coast. EPIK has signed an agreement with the Port of Newcastle to conduct preliminary work on the project, which is expected to cost as much as $430 million, including onshore infrastructure. The company noted that based on its assessment of the New South Wales gas market, particularly in east coast centers like Newcastle and Sydney, the new low-cost floating storage and regasification unit (FSRU) terminal will be viable. It will provide an infrastructure capable of providing a cost-effective source of alternative gas supplies to the region on a long-term basis. The capacity of Newcastle LNG will be about 1.5 million tonnes/year. It would be the fifth LNG import terminal proposed to satisfy Australia’s future east coast demand—following one proposed for South Australia, two for Victoria, and one for New South Wales. However, analysts question the viability of multiple import facilities. Adelaide-based consultancy EnergyQuest says that total domestic supply did fall by 18.8 petajoules in the September quarter because of lower production from Bass Strait, although this was offset by a 25% (or 16.6 petajoule) decline in gas use as coal and renewables replace gas in electric power generation. It is a trend that EnergyQuest expects will continue well into 2019. On the other side of the argument, the consultant casts doubt on the ability of Queensland’s gas reserves to continue to make up the perceived future supply shortfalls further south along the east coast. This has increased the perceived urgency for the establishment of LNG import terminals at Port Kembla south of Sydney and at Crib Point on Western Port Bay in Victoria.
