阿魯巴煉油廠計(jì)劃與休斯頓Eagle LNG簽署協(xié)議

　　據(jù)烴加工新聞4月19日消息稱，阿魯巴國有煉油公司阿魯巴煉油廠（RdA）的董事告訴路透社，該公司計(jì)劃最早于下月與總部位于休斯頓的Eagle LNG Partners簽署一項(xiàng)協(xié)議，在其閑置的煉油廠建設(shè)液化天然氣進(jìn)口終端。

　　Reynold Arends最近在位于阿魯巴東南部圣尼古拉斯鎮(zhèn)的RdA總部接受采訪時(shí)說，該終端將允許Eagle向荷蘭加勒比島的電力公司供應(yīng)天然氣，取代高硫燃料油作為該國的主要發(fā)電燃料。

　　阿魯巴一直在為這個(gè)23.5萬桶/日的煉油廠尋找新的合作伙伴，該煉油廠自2012年以來基本閑置。

　　RdA還在與總部位于圣何塞的Quanten公司牽頭的財(cái)團(tuán)就重啟該煉油廠的35億美元計(jì)劃進(jìn)行談判。Quanten的首席執(zhí)行官Jeff Meyers最近在與Arends一起接受采訪時(shí)表示，該集團(tuán)將準(zhǔn)備好在8月份開始拆除煉油廠，并在三年內(nèi)讓煉油廠全面投入運(yùn)營。

　　Quanten專業(yè)從事大型項(xiàng)目的電氣服務(wù)。

　　Arends表示，Eagle進(jìn)口的天然氣也可以為該煉油廠提供動(dòng)力，Eagle正在考慮將阿魯巴作為向加勒比海其他地區(qū)出口液化天然氣的樞紐。

　　Eagle發(fā)言人Linda Berndt說，公司“將繼續(xù)與RdA合作，并感謝他們對(duì)項(xiàng)目最終完成的支持。”

　　Aruba refinery aims to sign deal with Houston's Eagle LNG

　　Aruba's state-owned refining company Refineria di Aruba (RdA) plans to sign a deal with Houston-based Eagle LNG Partners to build an LNG import terminal on the site of its idled refinery as soon as next month, RdA's director told Reuters.

　　The terminal would allow Eagle to supply the Dutch Caribbean island's power company with natural gas, replacing high-sulfur fuel oil as the country's main fuel for generation, Reynold Arends said in a recent interview at RdA's headquarters in the town of San Nicolas at Aruba's southeastern tip.

　　Aruba has been seeking new partners for the 235,000 barrel-per-day refinery, which has been largely idled since 2012.

　　RdA is also in talks with a consortium led by San Jose-based Quanten Llc over a $3.5 billion plan to restart the refinery itself. Quanten's chief executive, Jeff Meyers, said in a recent interview alongside Arends the group would be ready to begin demolition in August and make the refinery fully operational within three years.

　　Quanten specializes in electrical services for large projects.

　　Gas imported by Eagle could also power the refinery, Arends said, and Eagle is considering using Aruba as a hub to export LNG elsewhere in the Caribbean region.

　　Eagle spokeswoman Linda Berndt said the company "continues to work with RdA and appreciates their support toward ultimate completion of the project."?
