石油圈中國石化新聞網訊 據路透社7月5日阿布賈報道，尼日利亞石油部5日在一份聲明中說，尼日利亞政府內閣日前批準了一項國家天然氣政策，這項國家天然氣政策旨在通過增加天然氣勘探和設施來減少該國對原油的依賴。 這項政策在上周舉行的內閣會議上獲得通過，但周三（5日）才公布于眾。 尼日利亞數十年來一直依賴其充足的石油供應來資助本國的經濟。但是，盡管擁有大量的原油，尼日利亞的大部分的原油被運往國外精煉，而尼日利亞不得不以高昂的代價進口精煉燃料。 尼日利亞擁有世界第9大天然氣儲量（187萬億立方英尺），使用天然氣的舉措可以減少進口精煉石油產品所需要的外匯支出。 石油部說，這100頁的國家天然氣政策尋求建立一個單一的獨立石油監管機構。它還打算把上游從中游業務中分開以及把天然氣基礎設施所有權和業務從天然氣交易中分開。這項政策還將把尼日利亞天然氣公司劃分成運輸公司和天然氣營銷公司以及在過渡期以后引入“市場導向的批發天然氣定價”。 李峻 編譯自 路透社 原文如下： Nigeria’s cabinet approves national gas policy Nigeria’s cabinet has approved a national gas policy that aims to reduce the country’s dependence on crude oil by increasing gas exploration and facilities, the oil ministry said in a statement. The policy was passed in last week’s cabinet session but only made public on Wednesday. Nigeria has for decades relied on its ample supplies of oil to power its economy. But despite having a wealth of crude, the vast majority was sent overseas for refining, and the country instead has had to import refined fuels at great expense. Nigeria has the world’s ninth largest proven gas reserves, at 187 Tcf. A move to using gas could reduce the drain on foreign exchange that importing refined oil products requires. The 100-page National Gas Policy seeks to set up a single independent petroleum regulator. It also aims to separate upstream from midstream operations and to separate gas infrastructure ownership and operations from gas trading, the oil ministry said. The policy will also divide the Nigeria Gas Company into separate transport and gas marketing companies and introduce “market-led wholesale gas pricing” after a transitional period. ?
