石油圈中國石化新聞網訊 據普氏能源資訊2019年3月13日休斯敦報道，阿根廷能源部長古斯塔沃本周表示，由于國內煉油廠在瓦卡姆爾塔（Vaca Muerta）盆地產量激增之際達到了最大利用率，阿根廷將在今年下半年成為常規頁巖輕質原油出口國。 古斯塔沃是在出席在休斯敦由IHS Markit舉行的CERAWeek期間對采訪他的全球普氏能源資訊記者發表上述講話的。他說：“這在阿根廷從未發生過，因為我們歷來是重質原油出口國?！?去年，阿根廷國家石油公司（YPF）在無法在當地分配產量以后把瓦卡姆爾塔盆地所產的輕質原油運往了國際市場。 在美國巴肯和二疊紀盆地輕質原油出口不斷增長之際，古斯塔沃無法說明哪些市場可能對阿根廷的頁巖輕質原油感興趣。 他說：“瓦卡姆爾塔盆地的輕質原油品質很好，我們必須找出哪些煉油商可以從中受益，目前私營企業正在這樣做?！?古斯塔沃表示，阿根廷要想成為具有全球競爭力的液化天然氣（LNG）市場還需要一段時間。他補充稱，來自頁巖項目投產后的新天然氣產量將首先抵消本國在冬季的LNG需求，然后再供應智利。 阿根廷去年開始向智利供應天然氣，這是數十年來的首次，從而抵消部分LNG進口。然而，消息人士對普氏能源資訊表示，瓦卡姆爾塔盆地的天然氣產量還不夠高，無法全年穩定供應智利，尤其是在5月和9月。智利能源咨詢公司Systep說，包括運輸成本在內，阿根廷天然氣在智利的售價為每百萬英熱6美元。 李峻 編譯自 Platts 原文如下： Argentina to become regular shale exporter in late 2019 Argentina will become an active shale light crude exporter in the second half of 2019 as domestic refineries reach maximum utilization rate amid booming output at the Vaca Muerta Basin, Argentina’s energy secretary said this week. “This is something that never happened in Argentina as we have historically been an exporter of heavy crude,” Gustavo Lopetegui told S&P Global Platts on Tuesday on the sidelines of CERAWeek by IHS Markit. Last year, YPF made an international shipment of Vaca Muerta’s light crude after being unable to allocate production locally. The secretary could not say which markets might be interested in Argentina’s shale oil in the midst of growing exports of US Bakken and Permian light crude. “Vaca Muerta’s light oil quality is excellent, and we have to find which refiners could benefit from it, something private companies are currently doing,” he said. It will take some time before Argentina becomes a global competitive LNG player, Lopetegui said. New gas production from shale projects coming online will first offset the country’s LNG demand in the winter and then supply Chile, he added. Argentina began supplying gas to Chile last year for the first time in decades, offsetting some LNG imports. However, Vaca Muerta’s gas production is not yet high enough to steadily supply Chile year-round, sources told Platts, especially in May and September. According to Chilean energy consultancy Systep, Argentinian gas has been sold in Chile at $6/MMBTu, including transportation costs. ?
