据世界油气网报道，两位消息人士告诉路透社，印度LNG进口商Petronet与美国液化天然气（LNG）开发商泰利安公司签署一项超过20亿美元的协议，用于提议中位于路易斯安那州的Driftwood项目。
这将是两国更广泛合作的一部分，印度总理纳伦德拉·莫迪于本周末在休斯顿与美国总统唐纳德·特朗普会面，讨论如何深化两国的能源和贸易关系。
据两位知情人士透露，Petronet将于周六与泰利安签署一份谅解备忘录，投资25亿美元，以获得该项目生命周期内每年高达500万吨LNG的权利。
印度正在扩大其管道网络，并建造新LNG进口终端，以鼓励使用更清洁的燃料。
莫迪设定了一个目标，即在未来几年将天然气在印度整体能源结构中所占的比例从6.5%提高到15%。
泰利安公司正在提供Driftwood控股的股权，包括泰利安的上游公司、其管道以及即将建成每年能够出口2760万吨LNG的终端。
根据泰利安在美国公司网站上发布的一份报告，如果投资5亿美元在Driftwood上，将使该项目的利益相关者在项目生命周期内每年获得超过100万吨LNG权利。
