石油圈中國石化新聞網訊 據路透社12月18日報道稱，立陶宛已經批準國有企業Klaipedos Nafta在2024年底之前購買液化天然氣（LNG）儲存船，以支撐能源供應并減少對俄羅斯天然氣的依賴。 Klaipedos Nafta目前正從挪威的Hoegh液化天然氣公司租賃一個名為Independence的浮式儲存和再氣化裝置（FSRU）。 自2014年以來，該船的使用使立陶宛得以進口液化天然氣，打破了俄羅斯天然氣工業股份公司對該國以及鄰國拉脫維亞和愛沙尼亞天然氣供應的壟斷。 立陶宛能源部長Zygimantas Vaiciunas表示：“這將使我們能夠在2024年之后加強我們的能源安全并確保俄羅斯天然氣的價格壓力?！绷⑻胀鹱h會投票決定，至少在2044年之前運營該國的液化天然氣進口設施。 立陶宛的天然氣使用量一直在減少，部分原因是2014年之前天然氣價格居高不下。政府表示，使用液化天然氣迫使俄羅斯將其天然氣價格下調三分之一，從而削弱了其利用燃料成本作為政治壓力手段的能力。 Klaipedos Nafta首席執行官Mindaugas Jusius告訴路透社，該公司將在2021年至2024年期間進行FSRU的國際招標。目前為期10年的獨立租約將于2024年底到期，但一種選擇是購買租賃船舶。 立陶宛政府在向議會提交的一份文件中表示，該國將向Klaipedos Nafta提供高達1.6億歐元的貸款，以資助購買或更換FSRU。 董飛 摘譯自 路透社 原文如下： Lithuania to buy LNG vessel, import LNG until at least 2044 Lithuania has given the go ahead to state-owned Klaipedos Nafta to purchase a liquefied natural gas (LNG) storage vessel by late 2024, as it shores up energy supplies and reduces its reliance on Russian natural gas. Klaipedos Nafta is currently leasing a floating storage and regasification unit (FSRU), called Independence, from Norway’s Hoegh LNG. The use of the vessel has allowed Lithuania to import LNG since 2014, breaking the monopoly Russia’s Gazprom had on natural gas supply to the country as well as neighbouring Latvia and Estonia. “This will keep us able, beyond 2024, to strengthen our energy security and ensure pricing pressure for the Russian gas,” Lithuania energy minister Zygimantas Vaiciunas said, as parliament voted to operate the country’s LNG import facility until at least 2044. Natural gas use has been dwindling in Lithuania, partly in response to high gas prices before 2014. The government said use of LNG had forced Russia to cut its natural gas prices by a third, removing its ability to use fuel costs as a means of political pressure. Klaipedos Nafta will run an international tender for a FSRU between 2021 and 2024, its CEO Mindaugas Jusius told Reuters. The current 10-year lease on Independence runs out at the end of 2024 but one option is to purchase the leased vessel. The state will guarantee a loan to Klaipedos Nafta of up to 160 million euros to finance the purchase or replacement of the FSRU, Lithuania’s government said in a submission to the parliament. ?
