石油圈中國石化新聞網訊 據路透社墨爾本12月5日消息，一家總部位于韓國的公司提議在澳大利亞東海岸建立一個進口液化天然氣的終端，這是世界第二大液化天然氣出口國此類項目的第五項提案。 過去兩年，澳大利亞東海岸新建了三家液化天然氣出口工廠，將東南部市場的天然氣抽走，并將悉尼等地的天然氣批發價格翻了近三倍。 新成立的液化天然氣浮動儲存和再氣化單元(FSRU)項目開發公司EPIK周三表示，已與紐卡斯爾港簽署協議，對擬議的FSRU進行初步工作，該項目將耗資4.3億美元，其中包括陸上基礎設施。 EPIK常務董事Jee Yoon在一份聲明中說：“我們有信心通過新的低成本FSRU終端進口LNG，我們將能夠提供一個基礎設施解決方案，能夠向該地區提供成本效益高的替代天然氣供應來源?！?紐卡斯爾港是全球最大的煤炭出口碼頭。該港口表示，該計劃符合其自身多元化的努力。由于全球減少碳排放的努力，該港口面臨煤炭出口的長期下滑。 港口發言人Sam Collyer說：“紐卡斯爾港是一個獨特的深水港，擁有令人羨慕的土地和航道容量?！?EPIK駐休斯頓的發言人拒絕透露紐卡斯爾液化天然氣的融資來源。 4億美元至4.3億美元的成本遠高于其他四個LNG進口項目的預算，其中一個在新南威爾士州，兩個在維多利亞州，還有一個在南澳大利亞州。 這些項目的目標是在2020年或2021年左右開始進口液化天然氣，盡管澳大利亞政府大宗商品預測機構7月份的一份報告稱，這種經濟模式可能行不通，因為在2022年后可能很難找到廉價的液化天然氣。 瑞士信貸分析師Saul Kavonic表示，沒有足夠的市場來推進這五個項目。 陳菲 摘譯自 路透社 原文如下： South Korean firm proposes building LNG import terminal in Australia A South Korea-based company has proposed building a terminal on Australia’s east coast to import liquefied natural gas, the fifth proposal for such a project in the world’s No.2 LNG exporter. The proposals have come after three new LNG export plants on the east coast have sucked gas out of the southeastern market and nearly tripled wholesale gas prices in places such as Sydney over the past two years. EPIK, a newly-formed LNG floating storage and regasification unit (FSRU) project development company, on Wednesday said it had signed an agreement with the Port of Newcastle to do preliminary work on a proposed FSRU that it estimated would cost up to $430 million, including onshore infrastructure. “We are confident that by importing LNG via a new, low-cost FSRU terminal, we will be able to provide an infrastructure solution that is capable of delivering a cost-efficient source of alternative gas supplies to the region,” EPIK Managing Director Jee Yoon said in a statement. Port of Newcastle, the world’s largest coal export terminal, said the plan was in line with its own efforts to diversify. The port faces the long-term decline of coal exports due to the global drive to cut carbon emissions. “Port of Newcastle is uniquely placed as a deepwater port with enviable land and channel capacity,” said the port’s spokesman, Sam Collyer. EPIK’s spokesman, based in Houston, declined to say where the financing for Newcastle LNG would come from. The $400 million to $430 million cost is well above estimates for four other proposed LNG import projects – one in New South Wales, two in the state of Victoria and one in South Australia. Those projects aim to start importing LNG around 2020 or 2021, despite a report by the Australian government’s commodities forecaster in July saying the economics might not work as it might be difficult to find cheap LNG beyond 2022. Credit Suisse analyst Saul Kavonic said there was not enough of a market for all five projects to go ahead.
