石油圈中国石化新闻网讯 据普氏能源资讯休斯顿3月5日消息 Venture Global LNG公司计划中的Calcasieu Pass出口终端周二获得了美国能源部批准，可将货物运往与美国没有自由贸易协定的国家。 这一里程碑标志着联邦政府最终批准了这一高达1000万吨/年的Louisiana项目。 尽管该开发商有承包商，与承运商签订了覆盖其大部分产能的长期承运协议并获得了大量市场动力，但它尚未公开宣布最终的积极投资决定，而这通常是在全面开工之前需要完成的。 该公司一直是美国第二波项目开发商中最活跃的，以确保其计划生产的液化天然气的商业协议，并且之前曾说过它希望能够制造一个FID并尽快开始施工，因此它可以在20世纪20年代初期开始运行，以帮助满足该时间段内预测的全球需求。 上个月，美国联邦能源监管委员会宣布，已批准Venture Global在卡梅伦教区的Calcasieu Pass许可证。该开发商在一份声明中表示，计划与监管机构协调“立即开始建设活动”。美国能源部批准向非自贸协定国家出口至多17亿立方英尺/天的液化天然气后，该公司周二发表声明称正考虑“立即开工”，以符合其向FERC提交的实施计划。 当Venture Global宣布Kiewit已获得Calcasieu Pass的工程、采购和建筑合同时，该公司没有透露已同意支付的金额。该公司还尚未透露，荷兰皇家壳牌、意大利爱迪生、葡萄牙Galp、英国石油、西班牙Repsol和波兰PGNiG已同意支付终端将生产的液化天然气的费用。尽管问题仍然存在，但这些交易竞争方在全球液化天然气市场的丰富经验为项目融资提供了一定程度的支持。 除了Calcasieu Pass，Venture Global LNG还计划在新奥尔良南部的Plaquemines Parish建造一座年产2000万吨LNG的出口码头。该公司继续努力签署合同，使该项目商业化。 美国有望在全球液化天然气供应中扮演更重要的角色，预计到2019年底，美国国内投入运营的液化终端数量将翻一番。 吴慧丹 摘译自 普氏能源资讯 原文如下： Calcasieu Pass LNG export terminal gets final federal authorization ahead of construction Venture Global LNG’s proposed Calcasieu Pass export terminal received US Department of Energy approval Tuesday to ship cargoes to countries with which the US does not have free-trade agreements.
The milestone marks the final federal authorization the up to 10 million mt/year Louisiana project needs to move forward. While the developer has a contractor, long-term offtake agreements with shippers covering the bulk of its capacity, and plenty of market momentum, it has not yet publicly announced a positive final investment decision, which generally comes before full construction begins. The company has been the most active among developers of second wave US projects in securing commercial agreements for the LNG it plans to produce, and it has said previously that it wanted to be able to make an FID and begin construction as soon as possible so it can be up and running by the early 2020s to help meet the forecast global demand during that timeframe. When the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission announced last month that it had approved Venture Global’s permit certificate for Calcasieu Pass in Cameron Parish, the developer said in a statement that it planned to “immediately commence construction activities” in coordination with regulatory agencies. Tuesday’s company statement following the DOE authorization to export up to 1.7 Bcf/d of LNG to non-FTA countries said only that it was looking to “commence site works imminently,” in line with an implementation plan it filed with FERC. When Venture Global announced that Kiewit had been awarded the engineering, procurement, and construction contract for Calcasieu Pass, it did not disclose how much it had agreed to pay. It also has not disclosed how much offtakers Royal Dutch Shell, Italy’s Edison, Portugal’s Galp, Britain’s BP, Spain’s Repsol and Poland’s PGNiG have agreed to pay for the LNG that the terminal will produce. Though questions remain, the extensive experience those counterparties have in the global LNG market provides a level of support for project financing. Besides Calcasieu Pass, Venture Global LNG is also proposing to build a 20 million mt/year export terminal in Plaquemines Parish, south of New Orleans. The company continues its efforts to sign contracts to commercialize that project. The US is poised to become a much bigger player in the global supply of LNG, with the number of domestic liquefaction terminals in operation expected to double by the end of 2019.
