據(jù)管道新聞網(wǎng)7月14日消息稱，康菲石油公司周四同意收購森普拉能源提議的得克薩斯州亞瑟港液化天然氣工廠30%的股份，以推進拖延已久的天然氣出口項目。

今年，美國石油和天然氣生產(chǎn)商紛紛支持刺激美國液化天然氣開發(fā)和出口的項目。

雪佛龍上個月同意從切尼爾能源和Venture Global LNG公司購買200萬噸/年（MTPA） 液化天然氣。此外，?？松梨谶€在與美國路易斯安那州合作開發(fā)一座年產(chǎn)1560萬噸的工廠。

這份初步的、不具約束力的協(xié)議的財務(wù)條款沒有披露。

兩家公司表示，作為協(xié)議的一部分，康菲石油同意在第一階段獲得該項目生產(chǎn)的500萬噸/年燃料，并將為其產(chǎn)出的份額提供天然氣。

亞瑟液化天然氣港的第一階段將有兩個液化天然氣生產(chǎn)線、儲罐和設(shè)施，能夠生產(chǎn)約1350萬噸/年的液化天然氣。預計將于2025年年中開工。

根據(jù)該協(xié)議，康菲石油將在該項目第二階段獲得部分股權(quán)，這將使該項目液化天然氣總產(chǎn)能達到約2700萬噸/年。

ConocoPhillips Buys 30% Stake in Sempra's Port Arthur LNG Project

ConocoPhillips on Thursday agreed to take a 30% stake in Sempra Energy's proposed Port Arthur, Texas, LNG plant, advancing the long-delayed gas export project.

U.S. oil and gas producers this year have rushed to back projects to spur U.S LNG development and exports.

Chevron last month agreed to buy 2 million tonnes per annum (MTPA) of LNG each from units of Cheniere Energy Inc. and Venture Global LNG. Exxon Mobil separately is co-developing a 15.6-MTPA Louisiana plant.

Financial terms of the preliminary, nonbinding agreement were not disclosed.

As part of the agreement, Conoco agreed to acquire 5 MTPA of the fuel produced by the project in its first phase, and would supply the natural gas for its share of output, the companies said.

Port Arthur LNG's first phase would have two LNG trains, storage tanks and facilities capable of producing around 13.5 MTPA of LNG. Construction is forecast to start in mid-2025.

The agreement would allow Conoco to acquire a stake in the project's second phase, which would bring total LNG capacity to about 27 MTPA.
