據(jù)世界天然氣3月8日消息稱，美國LNG出口項(xiàng)目開發(fā)商切尼爾能源已與就其 Corpus Christi Stage 3 項(xiàng)目簽訂了工程、采購和施工 (EPC) 合同。

此外，CCL 第 3 階段已允許該項(xiàng)目以在有限通知的情況下開始該項(xiàng)目的早期工程、采購和其他現(xiàn)場工作 (LNTP)。

Corpus Christi Stage 3擴(kuò)建項(xiàng)目由多達(dá)7輛中型生產(chǎn)線組成。每條生產(chǎn)線的液化能力約為每年 149 萬噸 (mtpa)。因此，總生產(chǎn)能力超過 10噸。因此，該終端的總銘牌容量約為2500萬噸/年的液化天然氣。

該項(xiàng)目的商業(yè)基礎(chǔ)是與交易對(duì)手簽訂的長期協(xié)議。

根據(jù)切尼爾首席執(zhí)行官Jack Fusco的說法，該公司預(yù)計(jì)最終投資決定將在 2022 年夏季做出。

“EPC合同的簽署和LNTP的發(fā)布標(biāo)志著該項(xiàng)目朝著最終確定投資方向邁出了重要的一步……我們專注于實(shí)現(xiàn)FID所需的其余步驟。CCL 3項(xiàng)目啟動(dòng)之際，全球液化天然氣市場基本面突出了天然氣在全球能源結(jié)構(gòu)中的重要性。”

“我們期待著從2025年開始的Corpus Christi第三期項(xiàng)目為客戶提供可靠、靈活的液化天然氣。”

Cheniere and Bechtel ink Corpus Christi Stage 3 EPC contract

U.S. LNG export project developer Cheniere Energy has entered into an engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contract with LNG project manager Bechtel for its Corpus Christi Stage 3 project.

In addition, CCL Stage 3 has released Bechtel to start early engineering, procurement, and other site work at the project under limited notice to proceed (LNTP).

The Corpus Christi Stage 3 expansion project consists of up to seven midscale trains. Each of the trains will have a liquefaction capacity of approximately 1.49 million tonnes per annum (mtpa). A total production capacity is thus more than 10 mtpa. Therefore, the terminal’s total nominal capacity would amount to approximately 25 mtpa of LNG.

The project is commercially underpinned by long-term agreements with counterparties.

According to Jack Fusco, Cheniere’s CEO, the company expects a Final Investment Decision to occur in summer 2022.

“The signing of this EPC contract and the issuance of LNTP mark important steps towards a FiD on the project... We are focused on the remaining steps required in order to reach FID,” he said. “The CCL 3 commences as global LNG market fundamentals highlight the criticality of natural gas in the global energy mix.”

“We look forward to providing our customers with reliable and flexible LNG from the Corpus Christi Stage III Project starting in 2025.”
