據(jù)油氣新聞網(wǎng)6月12日?qǐng)?bào)道，近日，坦桑尼亞與挪威國(guó)家石油公司Equinor和英國(guó)殼牌簽署了一項(xiàng)框架協(xié)議，該協(xié)議將加快建設(shè)一個(gè)價(jià)值300億美元的液化天然氣出口終端。

據(jù)該國(guó)能源部長(zhǎng)January Makamba表示，該協(xié)議的簽署將為2025年對(duì)該設(shè)施做出最終投資決定鋪平道路，由于監(jiān)管部門(mén)的拖延，該項(xiàng)目在坦桑尼亞南部沿海深水區(qū)發(fā)現(xiàn)的巨大海上天然氣儲(chǔ)量附近的建設(shè)已被擱置多年。

Equinor曾在2021年對(duì)該項(xiàng)目進(jìn)行了9.82億美元的減記，當(dāng)時(shí)該公司認(rèn)為該項(xiàng)目盈利能力不足。該公司在一份聲明中表示，現(xiàn)在說(shuō)是否會(huì)因?yàn)橹芰嫉慕灰锥孓D(zhuǎn)減記還為時(shí)過(guò)早。

Equinor和殼牌，以及埃克森美孚、Ophir能源和Pavilion能源，計(jì)劃在該國(guó)的林迪地區(qū)建造液化天然氣工廠。

Equinor經(jīng)營(yíng)坦桑尼亞的2號(hào)區(qū)塊，埃克森美孚也持有該區(qū)塊的股份，該區(qū)塊估計(jì)擁有超過(guò)20萬(wàn)億立方英尺（0.6萬(wàn)億立方米）的天然氣。

Equinor計(jì)劃與殼牌合作開(kāi)展液化天然氣項(xiàng)目，殼牌運(yùn)營(yíng)1號(hào)和4號(hào)區(qū)塊，估計(jì)可采天然氣儲(chǔ)量為16萬(wàn)億立方英尺。

坦桑尼亞已經(jīng)將其發(fā)現(xiàn)的一些天然氣用于發(fā)電和運(yùn)營(yíng)制造工廠。其還計(jì)劃建造一家化肥廠。

政府估計(jì)該國(guó)的可采天然氣總量為57.54萬(wàn)億立方英尺。

Tanzania signs LNG framework agreement with Equinor and shell

Tanzania signed a framework agreement with Norway's Equinor and Britain's Shell that will bring closer the start of construction of a $30 billion liquefied natural gas (LNG) export terminal.

Energy Minister January Makamba said the signing would pave the way for a final investment decision in 2025 on the facility, construction of which near huge offshore natural gas discoveries in deep waters off Tanzania's southern coast has been held up for years by regulatory delays.

Jared Kuehl, Shell's vice president and board chairman in Tanzania, said at the ceremony: "We believe Tanzania has advantages because it has(a) strategic location and the opportunity to deliver a competitive and investable project."

Equinor, which had in 2021 booked a $982 million writedown on the project having decided it would not be sufficiently profitably, said in a statement it was too early to say whether it would reverse that writedown as a result of the deal announced on Saturday.

Equinor and Shell, along with Exxon Mobil, Ophir Energy and Pavilion Energy, plan to build the LNG plant in the country's Lindi region.

Equinor operates Tanzania's Block 2, in which Exxon Mobil also holds a stake and which is estimated to hold more than 20 trillion cubic feet (0.6 trillion cubic metres) of gas.

Equinor aims to work on the LNG project with Shell, which operates Block 1 and Block 4, with 16 trillion cubic feet in estimated recoverable gas.

Tanzania already uses some of its natural gas discoveries for power generation and to run manufacturing plants. It also plans to build a fertiliser plant.

The government has put the country's total estimated recoverable gas at 57.54 trillion cubic feet.
