Renergen將舉行南非首次液化天然氣拍賣

據(jù)世界石油2020年7月20日?qǐng)?bào)道，南非著名天然氣和氦氣生產(chǎn)商Renergen表示，該公司日前已邀請(qǐng)申請(qǐng)者參與南非首次液化天然氣（LNG）拍賣，所拍賣的LNG產(chǎn)自其在南非第3大州自由州的一個(gè)項(xiàng)目。

Renergen表示，該公司擁有南非唯一的陸上石油開(kāi)采權(quán)。Renergen已邀請(qǐng)感興趣的各方申請(qǐng)投標(biāo)其弗吉尼亞天然氣項(xiàng)目生產(chǎn)的LNG。

申請(qǐng)注冊(cè)的截止日期將是8月27日，其后會(huì)舉行不公開(kāi)拍賣，但拍賣日期尚未確定。

Renergen表示，這個(gè)包括遍布維爾科姆、弗吉尼亞和托伊亞森的面積達(dá)18.7萬(wàn)公頃天然氣田勘探和生產(chǎn)權(quán)的項(xiàng)目將生產(chǎn)出平均甲烷含量超過(guò)95%的高質(zhì)量LNG。

Renergen還擁有世界上最豐富的氦氣資源之一，氦氣可用于冷卻醫(yī)用核磁共振成像掃描儀中的超導(dǎo)磁體，在深海潛水時(shí)可用作呼吸氣體，在氣球和飛艇中可用作提升氣體。

Renergen計(jì)劃在2021年前完成該項(xiàng)目的第一階段，生產(chǎn)出LNG和氦氣，這個(gè)項(xiàng)目的第二階段預(yù)計(jì)將在2023年前投產(chǎn)。

Renergen to hold South Africa's first LNG auction

Natural gas and helium producer Renergen has invited applicants for South Africa’s first LNG auction for LNG produced at its project in the Free State, the company said.

Renergen, which said it holds the only onshore petroleum production rights in South Africa, has invited interested parties to apply to bid for the allocation of LNG produced at its Virginia Gas Project.

The registration for applications will close on Aug. 27 with a blind auction to be held thereafter at an unconfirmed date.

The project, which comprises exploration and production rights of 187,000 hectares of gas fields across Welkom, Virginia and Theunissen, will produce high-quality LNG with an average content of more than 95% methane, the company said.

It also has one of the world’s richest sources of helium, used to cool superconducting magnets in medical magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanners, as a gas to breathe in deep-sea diving and as a lifting gas in balloons and airships.

Renergen plans to complete phase 1 of the project to produce LNG and helium by 2021 and expects phase 2 to be available by 2023.
