诺瓦泰克计划在德国和波兰开展LNG下游业务

    中国石化新闻网讯 据世界液化天然气新闻12月9日消息称，俄罗斯诺瓦泰克公司财务总监Mark Gyetvay表示，该公司正在推进第二个北极液化天然气（LNG）出口项目的建设，同时还计划在德国和波兰开展LNG下游业务。

    北极液化天然气2号项目是诺瓦泰克在两年前启动亚马尔液化天然气项目之后的第二个大型液化天然气出口项目。

    第二个项目位于吉丹半岛，横跨亚马尔半岛的液化天然气工厂，包括使用重力结构（GBS）平台建造三条LNG生产线，每条生产线年产能660万吨。

    Gyetvay周二在布达佩斯LNG峰会间隙告诉LNG世界新闻：“我们从今年7月底开始为第一个重力结构平台浇筑混凝土。每个单元在重力结构平台上有14个模块，重力结构平台1的模块是在中国建造的。我们的想法是最终把工作从国外船厂转移到摩尔曼斯克建造厂。”

    他说：“但是摩尔曼斯克的建造厂尚未准备好，因此我们将在外部船厂建造和制造之间有一个过渡期，这将最终在俄罗斯联邦的领土上完成。”

    提醒您，诺瓦泰克及其合作伙伴在9月份对北极液化天然气2号项目做出了最终投资决定。运营商诺瓦泰克拥有60％的股份，法国的道达尔拥有10％的股份，中石油和中国海洋石油有限公司各占10％，日本北极液化天然气、三井物产和JOGMEC的财团拥有10％的股份。

    液化天然气1号生产线计划于2023年投产，而液化天然气2号生产线和3号生产线计划分别于2024年和2026年投产。

    但是，诺瓦泰克想要成为世界上最大的液化天然气出口商之一的努力并没有因为这两个大型项目而停止，该公司正在考虑在北极建造第三个液化天然气项目，其工作名称为OB LNG。

    该公司预计将在2020年下半年的某个时候做出最终投资决定。该工厂将拥有两条液化生产线，年产250万吨，总计500万吨/年。该工厂将基于Arctic Cascade技术的改进版本，目前正在用于完成亚马尔液化天然气4号生产线的建设。

    Gyetvay 表示：“当在2020年下半年做出FID决定时，我们将有两个并发项目工作，目的是启动OB LNG，该项目以及北极液化天然气2号项目的首条生产线，大约在同一时间，即2020年底或2023年初投产。”

    Novatek plans to develop LNG downstream business in Germany and Poland

    Russia’s Novatek is pressing ahead with the construction of its second Arctic liquefied natural gas (LNG) export project, while in the meantime also planning to develop LNG downstream business in Germany and Poland, according to the company’s finance chief Mark Gyetvay.

    Arctic LNG 2 is Novatek’s second large-scale LNG export project following the launch of the Yamal LNG project two years ago.

    The second project located on the Gydan peninsula across the straight from the LNG plant on the Yamal peninsula includes the construction of three LNG trains at 6.6 million tons per annum each, using gravity-based structure (GBS) platforms.

    “We started pouring concrete for the first GBS at the end of July this year. Each unit will have 14 modules on the GBS platform, so for GBS 1 the modules are being constructed in China. The idea would be to eventually transition that work from foreign yards to the Murmansk construction yard,” Gyetvay told LNG World News on Tuesday at the sidelines of the Budapest LNG Summit.

    “But the Murmansk construction yard is not ready yet, so we’ll have a transition period between external yards building and fabricating, and that will eventually be done on the territory of the Russian Federation,” he said.

    To remind, Novatek and its partners made a final investment decision on Arctic LNG 2 in September. Novatek is the operator with a 60 percent stake, France’s Total has 10 percent, CNPC and CNOOC Limited of China 10 percent, each, and the Japan Arctic LNG, consortium of Mitsui & Co and JOGMEC 10 percent.

    The launch of LNG train 1 is scheduled for 2023, with LNG trains 2 and 3 to be launched in 2024 and 2026, respectively.

    However, Novatek’s pursue to become one of the world’s largest LNG exporters does not stop with these two giant projects as the company is mulling to build a third LNG project in the Arctic, with a working name of OB LNG.

    The company is expecting to reach a final investment decision on sometime in the second half of 2020. The facility will have two liquefaction trains with 2.5 million tons per annum of production capacity for a total of 5 million tons per year. The plant will be based on a modified version of the Arctic Cascade technology which is currently being used to finalize the construction of Yamal LNG’s Train 4.

    “When the FID decision is made in the second half of 2020, we will have two concurrent projects working with the aim of launching both OB LNG, its project, as well as the first train at Arctic LNG 2 roughly about the same time, end of 2022, beginning of 2023 timeframe,” Gyetvay said.
