北极LNG-2项目可能迎来新的合作伙伴

中国石化新闻网讯 据塔斯社7月2日报道，俄罗斯天然气生产商诺瓦泰克公司（Novatek）首席执行官Leonid Mikhelson表示，由日本三井(Mitsui)和日本石油、天然气、金属国家公司(Jogmec)组成的财团，可能会在未来九个月内吸引第三方合作伙伴入股其持有的北极LNG-2项目10%的股份。

据三井物产首席执行官表示，三井物产将决定哪些公司愿意加入该财团，而诺瓦泰克不参与其中。他指出:“目前还没有讨论财团以外的公司，特别是三菱，其是否参与该项目的讨论还没有进行。”

Mikhelson补充说，诺瓦泰克正在考虑让日本MOL(三井物产的一部分)参与在堪察加半岛和摩尔曼斯克建设液化天然气终端的项目。

6月29日，在莫斯科和东京在日本大阪举行高层会谈后，诺瓦泰克宣布将把北极LNG-2项目10%的股份出售给三井公司和Jogmec财团，后者将成为该项目的第四大股东。

北极LNG-2项目将是继亚马尔液化天然气之后，诺瓦泰克的第2个大容量液化天然气工厂。该项目的资源基础将是Gydan半岛的Morning油田，该工厂的总产能将为1980万吨/年，第一条生产线的预计投产日期为2022-2023年。

Consortium of Japanese companies to attract partner in Arctic LNG 2 within nine months

A consortium comprising Japan’s Mitsui and Jogmec may attract another partner in their 10% stake in the Arctic LNG 2 project within nine months, Chief Executive Officer of Russia’s gas producer Novatek Leonid Mikhelson told reporters on Tuesday.

According to CEO, Mitsui takes the decision on the companies willing to enter the consortium, while Novatek does not participate in it. "The participation of companies beyond the consortium, particularly Mitsubishi, in the project is not under discussion," he noted.

Mikhelson added that Novak is considering the participation of Japan’s MOL (part of Mitsui) in the project on construction of an LNG terminal on Kamchatka and in Murmansk.

It was announced on June 29 following the top-level talks in Japan’s Osaka between Moscow and Tokyo that Novatek would sell a 10% stake in the Arctic LNG 2 plant project to the consortium of Mitsui & Co and Jogmec, which would become the fourth shareholder of the project.

Arctic LNG 2 is Novatek's second LNG plant. The launch of the plant based on the Gydan fields is scheduled for 2022-2023. Its capacity will be about 19.8 mln tonnes of LNG per year.
