中国石化新闻网讯 据9月2日Gulf Times报道,卡塔尔石油公司(Qatar Petroleum)和比利时独立天然气运输公司Fluxys比利时分公司签署了一项长期协议。根据协议,卡塔尔石油公司的子公司卡塔尔终端有限公司(QTL)将从现有的长期卸货合同期满起,直至2044年,认购该码头的全部产能。 这笔交易经过了“竞争性评估程序”以及比利时监管机构的批准。QTL已经加入了一项现有协议,根据长期液化天然气协议,该终端约50%的产能将用于向比利时输送卡塔尔液化天然气。该协议是在周一在布鲁塞尔举行的仪式上签署的,该仪式由卡塔尔石油公司总裁兼首席执行官Saad Sherida al-Kaabi和比利时Fluxys公司董事长兼执行董事兼首席执行官Pascal de Buck出席,比利时联邦能源、环境与可持续发展部长Marie Christine Marghem出席。 Al-Kaabi在签字仪式上表示,很高兴今天签署这项具有里程碑意义的协议,扩大与比利时Fluxys在未来几十年的长期合作关系。这一安排将进一步支持公司在比利时和欧洲的客户,为他们提供从卡塔尔获得可靠液化天然气供应的渠道,并让客户能够最大限度地利用这些供应。 Al-Kaabi在结束讲话时表示,卡塔尔石油公司长期以来一直在欧洲投资并固定液化天然气接收站产能,这是供应目的地多元化战略的一部分。欧洲是一个关键的天然气市场。公司将继续致力于支持欧盟的能源政策,为欧洲提供可靠的能源供应。” 他补充:“我想借此机会感谢比利时有关当局的支持,我们也感谢Fluxys多年来的宝贵合作关系。我相信,成功的‘开放季’进程、新的运力和修订后的关税安排,将提升齐布吕格在欧洲最具商业竞争力的终端中的地位。” Marghem表示:“我很高兴我们两国能够在这个问题上进行密切和成功的合作。卡塔尔是唯一一个拥有向西欧西北部进口液化天然气长期合同的天然气生产国。我们大约15%的天然气消耗来自卡塔尔。这也显示了我们伙伴关系的稳固。我们将继续加强相互信任和彼此关系,为两国成功合作而努力。” de Buck表示:“今天对比利时Fluxys来说是一个里程碑。该协议进一步扩展了我们与卡塔尔合作伙伴的长期合作关系,确保了泽布吕格终端的长期活动,并进一步加强了该设施作为进入欧洲的通用液化天然气门户的地位,提高了为客户提供最佳的目的地灵活性。充足的‘管道天然气带走产能’随时可以从终端运往整个欧洲西北部,并有一系列用于下游小规模液化天然气配送的选择。” 比利时的泽布吕格液化天然气终端于1987年投入使用。从那以后,它和泽布吕格地区一起发展,成为欧洲西北部天然气网络的中心枢纽。该终端位于多个天然气管道的交汇点,在欧洲天然气供应中发挥着关键作用。 该终端由比利时独立天然气运输公司Fluxys LNG运营。目前,该终端拥有4个储气罐,拥有38万立方米液化天然气储藏量,年天然气吞吐量为90亿立方米。目前正在建造第五个18万立方米储罐。 洪伟立 摘译自 Gulf Times 原文如下: Qatar Petroleum books 'full LNG regasification capacity' of Belgium's Zeebrugge terminal up to 2044 Affiliates of Qatar Petroleum and the Belgian independent natural gas transport company Fluxys Belgium signed a long-term agreement for “LNG unloading services” at the Zeebrugge LNG Terminal. Under the agreement, Qatar Terminal Limited (QTL), a subsidiary of Qatar Petroleum, will subscribe to the full capacity at the terminal from the expiry of the existing long-term unloading contracts and up to 2044. The transaction follows a "competitive evaluation process" as well as the approval of the Belgian regulators. QTL is already a party to an existing agreement under which approximately 50% of the terminal’s capacity is utilised for delivery of Qatari LNG into Belgium under long-term LNG agreements. The agreement was signed during a ceremony held in Brussels on Monday by HE the Minister of State for Energy Affairs Saad Sherida al-Kaabi, also the President & CEO of Qatar Petroleum, and Pascal De Buck, chairman, Executive Board and CEO of Fluxys Belgium in the presence of Marie Christine Marghem, Belgian Federal Minister of Energy, Environment & Sustainable Development. Speaking at the signing ceremony, al-Kaabi said, “We are delighted to sign this landmark agreement today to extend and expand our existing long-term partnership with Fluxys Belgium for decades to come. We believe this arrangement will further support our customers in Belgium and Europe in general, by providing access to reliable LNG supplies from Qatar and allowing our customers to maximise the utilisation of such supplies.” Al-Kaabi concluded his remarks by saying “Qatar Petroleum has long invested in and anchored LNG receiving terminal capacity in Europe, a key gas market, as part of our supply destination portfolio diversification strategy. We continue to be committed to supporting the EU’s energy policies and providing reliable energy supplies into Europe. “I would like to take this opportunity to thank the concerned Belgian authorities for their support, and we thank Fluxys for their valuable partnership over the years. I am confident that the successful ‘Open Season’ process, this new capacity and the revised tariff arrangements will, in no doubt, enhance the position of Zeebrugge amongst the most commercially competitive terminals in Europe.” Marghem said, “I am glad that our two countries have been able to develop a close and successful cooperation in this matter. Qatar is the only gas producing country with long-term contracts for imports of LNG into North West Europe. Approximately 15% of our gas consumption comes from Qatar. “This also demonstrates the solidity of our partnership. I will ensure that we will continue to enhance our mutual confidence and relationship for the successful cooperation between our two countries. “ On his part, De Buck said, “Today is a milestone for Fluxys Belgium. This agreement further extends our long-standing cooperation with our Qatari partners, secures long-term activity at the Zeebrugge terminal and further strengthens the facility’s position as a versatile LNG gateway into Europe offering customers optimum destination flexibility. Ample 'pipe gas take away capacity' from the terminal is readily available for delivery throughout North-West Europe as well as a range of options for downstream small-scale LNG distribution.” The Zeebrugge LNG Terminal in Belgium was commissioned in 1987. It has since developed, together with the Zeebrugge area as a whole, into a central crossroads for North-West Europe's gas network. Located at the point where a number of gas pipelines meet, the terminal plays a key role in Europe's natural gas supplies. The terminal is operated by Fluxys LNG, part of Belgian independent natural gas transport company Fluxys. The terminal currently has 380,000 cubic meters of LNG storage capacity spread over four tanks and an annual throughput capacity of 9bn cubic meters of natural gas. A fifth 180,000 cubic meters storage tank is currently under construction.
