石油圈中國石化新聞網訊 據普氏能源資訊9月8日東京報道，加拿大艾伯塔省能源部長瑪格利特·麥卡博伊德周四在一次采訪中表示，北美最大能源基礎設施公司金德摩根公司在加拿大的跨山管道擴建項目（Trans Mountain Expansion project）預計將按計劃啟動并將很有可能打開一個把加拿大西部原油出口到亞洲市場的機會窗口。 據業內消息人士說，加拿大從西海岸到亞洲的原油出口多年來一直微不足道，原因是溫哥華無能力裝載比阿芙拉型油輪更大的油輪以及對美國以外市場出口的剩余原油產量很有限。 但是，金德摩根公司擴建后的跨山輸油管道將把其原油輸送能力提高近3倍，這將為增加加拿大原油出口亞洲提供空間，從而使得亞洲買家更容易獲得加拿大原油。 麥卡博伊德在東京接受標普全球普氏能源資訊記者采訪時說：“我們很高興金德摩根公司的這條管線可讓加拿大西部的原油進入亞洲市場?！丙溈ú┮恋卵a充說，雖然這條管道將打開許多可能性，但是加拿大西部原油出口到亞洲的實際增長將取決于“市場力量”。 李峻 編譯自 普氏能源資訊 原文如下： Canadian crude oil exports to Asia could rise Kinder Morgan’s Trans Mountain Expansion project in Canada is expected to start up as planned and will likely open a window of opportunity to export Western Canadian crude oil into Asian markets, Alberta energy minister Margaret McCuaig-Boyd said in an interview Thursday.
Canada’s crude exports from the west coast to Asia have been negligible for many years because of Vancouver’s inability to load on tankers larger than Aframax, as well as a limited surplus for exports to markets other than the US, according to industry sources.
But Kinder Morgan’s expanded Trans Mountain pipeline, which will boost its capacity nearly threefold, will offer scope to boost Canadian crude exports to Asia, as it would make it relatively easier for Asian buyers to access Canadian crude.
“We are very pleased that Kinder Morgan’s line allows access to Asian markets,” McCuaig-Boyd said in the interview with S&P Global Platts in Tokyo, adding that while the pipeline would open up a lot of possibilities, actual increases in oil exports to Asia would depend on “market forces.” ?
