石油圈中國石化新聞網訊 據OGJ網12月7日消息 位于首爾的韓國開發商EPIK提議在澳大利亞東海岸悉尼北部的紐卡斯爾港建立一個浮動液化天然氣（LNG）進口碼頭。 EPIK已與紐卡斯爾港簽署協議，對該項目進行初步工作，預計該項目將耗資4.3億美元（包括陸上基礎設施）。 該公司指出，根據對新南威爾士天然氣市場的評估，特別是在紐卡斯爾和悉尼等東海岸中心，新的低成本浮動儲存和再氣化裝置（FSRU）碼頭將是可行的。它將提供能夠長期向該區域提供具有成本效益的替代氣體供應源的基礎設施。 紐卡斯爾液化天然氣的產能約為150萬噸/年。這將是第五個LNG進口碼頭，預計滿足澳大利亞未來東海岸的需求—即一個為南澳大利亞，兩個為維多利亞，一個為新南威爾士。然而，分析師質疑多個進口設施的可行性。 總部位于阿德萊德的咨詢公司EnergyQuest表示，由于巴斯海峽的低產量，9月份國內總供應量確實下降了18.8千兆焦耳，不過隨著煤炭和可再生能源替代天然氣用于電力發電，天然氣使用量下降了25%（16.6千兆焦耳），抵消了這種下降，EnergyQuest預計這種趨勢將持續到2019。 另一方面，這位顧問對昆士蘭天然氣儲量能否繼續彌補東海岸南部地區未來的供應短缺表示懷疑。這增加了在悉尼南部肯布拉港和維多利亞西部港灣克里布點建立液化天然氣進口碼頭的緊迫感。 王磊 摘譯自 OGJ 原文如下： South Korean developer EPIK, based in Seoul, has proposed the establishment of a floating LNG import terminal at the Port of Newcastle north of Sydney on Australia’s east coast. EPIK has signed an agreement with the Port of Newcastle to conduct preliminary work on the project, which is expected to cost as much as $430 million, including onshore infrastructure. The company noted that based on its assessment of the New South Wales gas market, particularly in east coast centers like Newcastle and Sydney, the new low-cost floating storage and regasification unit (FSRU) terminal will be viable. It will provide an infrastructure capable of providing a cost-effective source of alternative gas supplies to the region on a long-term basis. The capacity of Newcastle LNG will be about 1.5 million tonnes/year. It would be the fifth LNG import terminal proposed to satisfy Australia’s future east coast demand—following one proposed for South Australia, two for Victoria, and one for New South Wales. However, analysts question the viability of multiple import facilities. Adelaide-based consultancy EnergyQuest says that total domestic supply did fall by 18.8 petajoules in the September quarter because of lower production from Bass Strait, although this was offset by a 25% (or 16.6 petajoule) decline in gas use as coal and renewables replace gas in electric power generation. It is a trend that EnergyQuest expects will continue well into 2019. On the other side of the argument, the consultant casts doubt on the ability of Queensland’s gas reserves to continue to make up the perceived future supply shortfalls further south along the east coast. This has increased the perceived urgency for the establishment of LNG import terminals at Port Kembla south of Sydney and at Crib Point on Western Port Bay in Victoria. ?
