Golden Pass LNG有望提高產(chǎn)能

據(jù)世界天然氣網(wǎng)站6月2日消息 卡塔爾石油公司和埃克森美孚的合資企業(yè)Golden Pass液化天然氣公司正在尋求美國(guó)聯(lián)邦能源監(jiān)管機(jī)構(gòu)（FERC）的批準(zhǔn)，以提高其在德克薩斯州價(jià)值100億美元的出口設(shè)施的產(chǎn)能。

該公司已要求FERC將在建終端的年產(chǎn)能提高250萬噸，至1810萬噸/年。

本項(xiàng)目包括建造三條液化生產(chǎn)線，每條液化生產(chǎn)線的產(chǎn)能為520萬噸/年

如果FERC批準(zhǔn)產(chǎn)能擴(kuò)建，每條液化天然氣生產(chǎn)能力將達(dá)到約600萬噸/年（7.9億立方英尺/天）。

路透社的一份報(bào)告稱，該公司周一表示，將通過提高生產(chǎn)效率來實(shí)現(xiàn)這一目標(biāo)，而且不需要對(duì)設(shè)備進(jìn)行任何修改或調(diào)整環(huán)境許可證。

Golden Pass表示：“由于產(chǎn)能增加不涉及對(duì)許可設(shè)施的增加或調(diào)整，因此不會(huì)造成超出FERC先前確定的任何施工或環(huán)境影響。”

Golden Pass是液化天然氣生產(chǎn)巨頭卡塔爾石油和美國(guó)石油巨頭?？松梨谄煜碌淖庸?，持有70%的股份。

其目標(biāo)是在2024年啟動(dòng)第一條液化生產(chǎn)線，第二條液化生產(chǎn)線預(yù)計(jì)將在6至8個(gè)月后啟動(dòng)。

由千代田、麥克德莫特和Zachry集團(tuán)組成的合資企業(yè)負(fù)責(zé)液化天然氣出口項(xiàng)目的建設(shè)。

Golden Pass LNG looking to boost capacity

Golden Pass LNG, a joint venture of Qatar Petroleum and Exxon Mobil, is seeking approval from U.S. federal energy regulators to boost capacity at its $10 billion export facility in Texas.

The company has asked FERC to raise capacity at its terminal under construction by 2.5 million tonnes per year to a total of 18.1 mtpa.

The current project includes the construction of three liquefaction trains with each unit having a 5.2 mtpa capacity.

Should FERC approve the increase, each train will be capable of producing about 6 mtpa of LNG or 0.79 billion cubic feet per day (bcfd) of natural gas.

The company said on Monday it would achieve the addition by “production efficiencies” and it will not require any equipment modifications or environmental permit adjustments, according to a report by Reuters.

“Because the capacity increase does not involve additions or adjustments to the permitted facilities, it would not result in any construction or environmental impacts beyond those previously identified” by FERC, Golden Pass said.

Golden Pass is owned by units of LNG producing giant Qatar Petroleum witha a 70 per cent stake and U.S. oil major Exxon Mobil with a 30 per cent share.

It aims to start the first liquefaction train in 2024 with the second unit expected to follow six-to-eight months after that.

A joint venture consisting of Chiyoda, McDermott, and Zachry Group is responsible for the construction of the LNG export project.

Siemens Gas and Power has also recently secured a contract from the venture to supply three cryogenic boil-off gas compressor trains for the LNG project.
