諾瓦泰克公布二季度天然氣產(chǎn)銷量均下降

據(jù)7月13日Offshore Energy消息：俄羅斯最大的獨(dú)立天然氣和液化天然氣生產(chǎn)商諾瓦泰克報告稱，今年二季度產(chǎn)量和銷量雙雙下滑。

該公司周一表示，其天然氣產(chǎn)量同比下降2.2%，降至185億立方米。

這家俄羅斯公司1月至3月的碳?xì)浠衔锟偖a(chǎn)量下降2.5％，至1.453億桶油當(dāng)量。

此外，包括液化天然氣在內(nèi)的天然氣銷量在本季度下降9.9%，至16.9億立方米。

諾瓦泰克稱其在國際市場上銷售了24.7億立方米液化天然氣，與去年同期相比下降32.3%。

該公司將產(chǎn)量下降歸因于其位于俄羅斯北極地區(qū)的亞馬爾液化天然氣出口終端的現(xiàn)貨市場銷量下降。

這一下降是“由于亞馬爾液化天然氣公司股東(包括諾瓦泰克公司)在現(xiàn)貨市場銷售的液化天然氣數(shù)量中所占份額下降，而根據(jù)長期合同直接銷售的亞馬爾液化天然氣數(shù)量相應(yīng)增加”。

諾瓦泰克17.4萬噸的亞馬爾液化天然氣出口工廠包括3列5.5萬噸的液化天然氣生產(chǎn)線和一條年產(chǎn)能90萬噸的生產(chǎn)線。

第一條于2017年四季度投產(chǎn)，第二條和第三條分別于2018年7月和11月投產(chǎn)。

這家俄羅斯天然氣生產(chǎn)商計劃，到2030年，其液化天然氣總產(chǎn)能將達(dá)到最高70萬噸/天，并且已經(jīng)安排一些新的開發(fā)項目。其中包括該公司的第二個北極液化天然氣項目，產(chǎn)能為6.6萬噸/立方米。

諾瓦泰克最近表示，該項目已完成約19%，預(yù)計將在2023年推出首列液化天然氣生產(chǎn)線。

Novatek posts lower quarterly production, sales

Russia’s largest independent natural gas and LNG producer Novatek reported a decline in both production and sales in thesecond quarter of this year.

Novatek said Monday its natural gas production declined by 2.2 percent year-on-year to 18.5 billion cubic metres.

The Russian company’s total production of hydrocarbons in January-March fell 2.5 percent to 145.3 million barrels of oilequivalent.

Furthermore, natural gas sales volumes, including LNG, declined 9.9 percent in the quarter to 16.9 bcm.

Novatek said it sold 2.47 bcm of LNG on international markets, a drop of 32.3 percent when compared to the second quarterlast year.

The company attributed the decline to lower spot market sales from its Yamal LNG export terminal in the Russian Arctic.

The drop was “due to the decrease of Yamal LNG shareholders’ share, including Novatek’s share, of LNG volumes sold onthe spot market, and a corresponding increase of Yamal LNG direct sales under long-term contracts,” it said.

Novatek’s 17.4 mtpa Yamal LNG export plant includes three LNG trains of 5.5 mtpa each and one train with a capacity of900,000 tons per year.

The first LNG train began production in the fourth quarter of 2017, while trains 2 and 3 were launched in July 2018 andNovember 2018, respectively.

The Russian producer plans to reach a total of up to 70 mtpa of LNG production capacity by 2030 and has lined up severalnew developments.

These include the company’s second Arctic LNG project with a 6.6 mtpa capacity.

Novatek recently said the project was about 19 percent complete and expects to launch the first LNG train in 2023.
