石油圈中国石化新闻网讯 据路透社伦敦、纽约报道，三名知情人士表示，预计卡塔尔石油和埃克森美孚下周将宣布一项计划，着手进行一个价值100亿美元的项目，以扩大德克萨斯州的液化天然气（LNG）出口设施。 知情人士说，康菲石油是现有进口终端的第三个合作伙伴，计划出售其12.4%的股份，同时也不打算参与扩建。 LNG的需求正在飙升。到2030年，全球燃料消费量预计将增加一倍以上，达到每年5.5亿吨，这将引发渴望主宰市场的石油和天然气公司之间的竞争。 Golden Pass液化天然气项目最初作为德克萨斯州Sabine Pass工厂的接收和再气化设施, 每天能够处理多达20亿立方英尺的天然气进口。 然而，随着美国天然气产量飙升至创纪录水平，加上页岩产量的增长，对出口产能的需求也在增加。2014年首次宣布的100亿美元的潜在扩张，将把重点放在这一新的充满活力的市场上。 这是卡塔尔石油计划在美国投资200亿美元的一部分，因为该公司寻求增加其海外石油和天然气足迹。 两名知情人士说，最有可能收购康菲石油股份的是埃克森美孚，并补充说，由于该项目的计划已进入后期阶段，现有的合作伙伴不希望吸纳其他参与者。 目前，埃克森美孚持有LNG出口项目30%的股份，卡塔尔石油持有70%的股份。这两家公司一直在加强从美国到莫桑比克的LNG项目的全球联盟。 埃克森美孚首席执行官Darren Woods周五在与分析师的电话会议上表示，埃克森美孚预计今年将批准Golden Pass出口终端和莫桑比克的另一个LNG项目。 Woods说，公司一直在与卡塔尔石油（Golden Pass的合作伙伴）密切合作，以推进这项投资，并期待在近期宣布相关事项。” 2017年，卡塔尔是全球最大的液化天然气生产国，年产量为7700万吨。 伍德麦肯齐的全球天然气和液化天然气研究主管Giles Farrer上个月表示，在众多项目中，Golden Pass在今年可能会获得批准，预计各公司将在今年就每年增加超过6000万吨LNG产能的项目做出最终决定，这远远超过了2005年约4500万吨的纪录，更是去年2100万吨的三倍。 詹晓晶摘自路透社 原文如下： Qatar, Exxon to proceed with $10 billion Texas LNG project – sources Qatar Petroleum and Exxon Mobil Corp are expected to announce plans next week to proceed with a $10 billion project that will expand a liquefied natural gas (LNG) export facility in Texas, three people familiar with the transaction said. ConocoPhillips, the third partner in the existing import terminal, plans to sell its 12.4 percent stake and does not plan to participate in the expansion, the people said. LNG demand is soaring. Worldwide consumption of the fuel is expected to more than double to 550 million tonnes a year (mtpa) by 2030, triggering a race among oil and gas companies eager to dominate the market. Golden Pass LNG began as a receiving and regasification facility in Sabine Pass, Texas able to handle up to 2 billion cubic feet of natural gas imports per day. However, as U.S. gas production has soared to new records, bolstered by shale production, the demand for export capacity has increased. The potential $10 billion expansion, first announced in 2014, would focus on this new market dynamic. It is part of Qatar Petroleum’s plans to invest some $20 billion in the United States as the company seeks to increase its overseas oil and gas footprint. The most likely buyer for ConocoPhillips’ stake is Exxon Mobil, two of the people said, adding that the existing partners do not want to bring in another participant, as plans for the project are in advanced stages. Currently, Exxon has a 30 percent stake in the LNG export project, and Qatar Petroleum holds a 70 percent stake. The two have been strengthening a global alliance across LNG projects from the United States to Mozambique. Exxon expects this year to “sanction” the Golden Pass export terminal and another LNG project in Mozambique, Chief Executive Darren Woods said Friday on a conference call with analysts. The company has been “working very closely with QP (Qatar Petroleum), our partner in Golden Pass, to advance that investment and look forward to announcing something here in the very near term,” Woods said. Qatar was the world’s largest LNG producer in 2017 and has annual output of 77 million tonnes. The Golden Pass project is one of many that could be approved this year. Firms are expected to make final decisions on projects that could add more than 60 million tonnes per annum of LNG capacity this year. That’s well above the previous record of about 45 million tonnes in 2005 and triple last year’s 21 million tonnes, Wood Mackenzie’s research director for global gas and LNG, Giles Farrer, said last month.
