东京燃气向Diamond Gas购买加拿大LNG

中国石化新闻网讯 据普氏能源资讯新加坡10月10日消息称，日本公用事业公司东京燃气周二表示已与三菱交易部门Diamond Gas国际公司签署协议，从壳牌运营的液化天然气加拿大项目购买60万吨/年的液化天然气。

加拿大液化天然气公司上周达成了最终投资决定，其初始产能为1400万吨/年。壳牌通过其当地子公司拥有加拿大液化天然气公司40％的股份，马来西亚国家石油公司拥有25％的股权，中石油拥有15％的股份，三菱拥有15％的股份，而韩国国家天然气公司拥有5％的股权。预计每个合作伙伴将各自出售自己的液化天然气份额。

东京燃气表示，在1400万公吨/年的总产量中，Diamond Gas将需要210万吨/年。

东京燃气公司补充说，根据HOA，东京燃气将从2026年4月到2039年3月为期13年里从加拿大液化天然气公司购买60万吨/年的天然气，以灵活的目的地为基础履行船上交货价。

HOA是一份不具约束性文件，在双方最终协议准备阶段进行谈判。

东京燃气表示已与Diamond Gas达成协议，从美国的卡梅伦液化天然气项目购买20万吨/年的液化天然气，相当于每年三批货物，从2020年开始，以船上交货价为基础为期19年。

总部位于新加坡的Diamond Gas于2013年9月开始运营，从美国和加拿大的项目中销售液化天然气，三菱在该公司拥有股权，进行短期液化天然气交易和优化，并在新兴市场开发新的天然气业务。

东京燃气表示，其与Diamond Gas的初步协议有助于启动加拿大首个大型液化天然气生产项目。加拿大液化天然气公司最初将拥有两个加工单元或列车，预计在下一个十年中期之前有第一批液化天然气货物。

东京燃气表示：“除了加拿大丰富的天然气供应之外，该项目与日本的距离很近，这使得装运只需10天左右，这将保证长期稳定的液化天然气供应。”

Tokyo Gas signs initial pact with Diamond Gas to buy LNG Canada's output

Japanese utility Tokyo Gas Tuesday said it has signed a heads of agreement with Diamond Gas International, the trading arm of Mitsubishi Corporation, to purchase 0.6 million mt/year of LNG from the Shell-operated LNG Canada project.

LNG Canada, which reached a final investment decision to proceed last week, will have an initial capacity of 14 million mt/year. Shell has a 40% stake in LNG Canada through it local affiliate, Petronas has a 25% interest, PetroChina has 15%, Mitsubishi has 15% and Kogas has 5%. Each partner is expected to individually market its own share of LNG.

Of the total volume of 14 million mt/year, Diamond Gas will offtake 2.1 million mt/year, Tokyo Gas said.

Under the HOA, Tokyo Gas will purchase up to 0.6 million mt/year from LNG Canada for a period of 13 years from April 2026 to March 2039, delivered on an ex-ship basis with destination flexibility, Tokyo Gas added.

An HOA is a non-binding document which is negotiated in the run-up to a final agreement between parties.

Tokyo Gas said it already has an agreement with Diamond Gas to purchase 0.2 million mt/year of LNG, which equals three cargoes a year, from the Cameron LNG Project in the US, for a period of 19 years starting in 2020 on an ex-ship basis.

Singapore-based Diamond Gas started operations in September 2013 to market LNG from projects in the US and Canada where Mitsubishi has equity stakes, conduct short-term LNG trading and optimization, and develop new gas business in emerging markets.

Tokyo Gas said its preliminary agreement with Diamond Gas contributes to the starting up of the very first large-scale LNG production project in Canada. LNG Canada will initially have two processing units or trains, with the first LNG cargo expected before the middle of the next decade.

"On top of the access to abundant natural gas in Canada, the proximity of the project to Japan which allows the shipment to take only about 10 days, promises a stable long-term supply of LNG," Tokyo Gas said.?
