印度Petronet和石油天然气海外公司入股项目Tellurian

中国石化新闻网讯 据路透社新德里11月3日消息称，印度Petronet的董事总经理周五表示，印度Petronet和印度石油天然气海外公司将共同就收购Tellurian公司在路易斯安那州拟议中的Driftwood项目的股权进行谈判。

Prabhat Singh在电话采访中告诉路透社：“我们已经从初步讨论阶段略微向前推进......我们正在认真评估它，并与他们进行认真的讨论。”

印度正在扩大其管道网络并建设新的液化天然气（LNG）进口终端，以提高国内对这种更清洁燃料的使用。

印度总理纳伦德拉·莫迪（Narendra Modi）设定了一个目标，即在未来几年内，将天然气在印度整体能源结构中的比重从目前的6.5%提高到15%。。

Petronet是印度最大的天然气进口国，对上游业务没有任何经验，正因如此，该公司正与印度石油和天然气公司旗下海外投资子公司ONGC Videsh合作。

辛格表示：“我们需要上游业务的确认和信心......我们希望减轻地质风险。”

India's Petronet, ONGC Videsh eye stake in Tellurian project

India’s Petronet LNG and ONGC Videsh are jointly in talks about buying a stake in Tellurian Inc’s proposed Driftwood project in Louisiana, Petronet’s managing director said on Friday.

“We have moved slightly forward (from the preliminary discussion stage)... we are evaluating it seriously and we are in serious discussion with them,” Prabhat Singh told Reuters in a phone interview.

India is expanding its pipeline network and building new liquefied natural gas (LNG) import terminals to boost use of the cleaner fuel in the country.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi has set a target to raise the share of natural gas in India’s overall energy mix to 15 percent in the next few years from about 6.5 percent at present.

Petronet is India’s top gas importer with no experience of the upstream business, which is why it is tying up with ONGC Videsh, the overseas investment arm of Indian oil producer Oil and Natural Gas Corp.

“We want confirmation and confidence of upstream ... we want to mitigate geological risk,” Singh said.
