  • 马来西亚国家石油公司取消BC省LNG项目

    加拿大, 2017/07/27 马来西亚国家石油公司以液化天然气（LNG）市场价格低迷为由，公布取消位于BC省的Pacific NorthWest（PNW）LNG项目，并排除以后重启该项意图可能性。项目总造价拟为360亿加元。这对加拿大期望成为全球性LNG供应国构成严峻打击。马来西亚国家石油公司牵头的投资联合体为该项目已投入4亿加元。联合投资方包含中石化和中国华电。         项目历经5年研究，还有政客、环保主义者和原住民之间的争论，最终终止。在此期间，澳大利亚和美国建成数十亿美元的LNG设施，而市场需求疲软，导致LNG价格暴跌。包含LNG生厂商在内的行业支持者，批评监管程序冗长，公众对能源业发展争论不休，导致原本可创造4500个就业岗位的项目流产。         LNG出口在BC省一直是热点问题，围绕行业发展的质疑也一直不断。前省长克拉克将LNG出口看作BC省以后经济发展的基石，曾承诺2020年之前建成3座LNG加工厂，创造10万就业岗位。而PNW LNG项目流产，打碎了所有梦想。        新上任的新民主党（NDP）能源厅长表示，政府尊重马来西亚国家石油公司的决定，会鼓励其他LNG项目。竞选期间，NDP批评前执政党自由党对发展能源业的热情，声称只有符合环境等领域标准，才会寻求创造LNG行业就业。而NDP执政联盟绿党，则果断反对发展LNG。         BC省过去提出的LNG项目有十多个，而今只有一个小项目计划继续推进。此前，壳牌、中石油、韩国天然气和日本三菱联合推动的造价400亿加元的基蒂马特LNG项目已推迟最终投资决策，雪佛龙和爱克森美孚等大型能源公司也推迟了LNG项目计划。         上周，加拿大国家能源局（NEB）发布了一份悲观的加拿大LNG市场前景评估公告，认为其他国家新上的LNG项目只会让市场供应过剩更加严峻，导致中日等重要市场的LNG价格承受更大压力。澳大利亚和美国占全球在建LNG项意图75%，中短期之内全球增加的供应将首要来自这些项目。
