中国石化新闻网讯 据bp官网11月14日报道，该公司成功从莫桑比克海上Coral Sul FLNG设施装载第一批液化天然气货物，这是莫桑比克的第一个液化天然气项目，也是部署在非洲大陆深水区的首个浮动液化天然气设施。根据长期合同，bp将从Coral Sul FLNG购买100%的液化天然气产量，该公司的液化天然气年产量可达340万吨。
bp继续在天然气价值链上寻找机会，因为它将液化天然气视为能源转型的重要组成部分，并将自身转型为一家综合性能源公司。其目标是到2030年液化天然气组合达到3000万吨，莫桑比克新的供应源扩大了bp公司灵活、高质量的液化天然气组合，进一步增强该公司向全球市场输送液化天然气的能力。
该设施的投产正值一个重要时刻，因为液化天然气在支持能源安全方面发挥着关键作用。由于全球对液化天然气的需求预计将继续增长，bp将继续使其液化天然气资源组合多样化，并为客户开发创新的解决方案。
2016年10月，bp与Coral的卖方签订了一份20年以上的液化天然气长期承购合同，包括莫桑比克Rovuma Venture S.p.A(埃尼、埃克森美孚等的合资企业)、GALP、KOGAS和ENH(莫桑比克国家实体)。
bp贸易和航运执行副总裁Carol Howle表示：“Coral Sul FLNG设施的投产对莫桑比克、项目合作伙伴以及bp作为液化天然气买家来说都是一个重要的里程碑。随着世界寻求安全、廉价和低碳能源，全球对液化天然气的需求预计将继续增长。这一新的供应来源进一步增强了bp向世界各地市场输送液化天然气的能力，我们期待着继续与所有参与该项目的各方密切合作。”

bp begins shipping liquefied natural gas from Mozambique’s first LNG project
bp has successfully loaded the first LNG cargo from Mozambique’s offshore Coral Sul FLNG facility, the country’s first LNG project and first floating LNG facility ever deployed in the deep waters of the African continent. Under its long-term contract, bp will purchase 100% of LNG output from Coral Sul FLNG which has the capacity to produce up to of 3.4 million tonnes of LNG per year.
bp continues to look for opportunities across the gas value chain, as it sees LNG as an essential part of the energy transition and its own pivot to becoming an integrated energy company. As bp aims for an LNG portfolio of 30 million tonnes by 2030, the new Mozambique supply source expands bp’s flexible, high-quality LNG portfolio and further enhances the company’s capability to deliver LNG to markets globally.
The start of production at the facility comes at an important moment, as LNG plays a key role supporting energy security. As the demand for LNG is expected to continue growing globally, bp continues to diversify its portfolio of LNG sources and develop innovative solutions for customers.
In October 2016, bp signed a long-term offtake contract for the purchase of LNG for over 20 years with the Coral sellers comprising of Mozambique Rovuma Venture S.p.A. (a joint venture owned by Eni, ExxonMobil etc.), GALP, KOGAS and ENH (Mozambique state entity).
Carol Howle, EVP trading and shipping at bp, said: “The start of production from the Coral Sul FLNG facility represents a major milestone for Mozambique, the project partners, and bp as the LNG buyer. As the world seeks secure, affordable and lower carbon energy, global demand for LNG is expected to continue to grow. This new supply source further enhances bp’s capability to deliver LNG to markets across the world and we look forward to continuing our close collaboration with all those involved in the project.”
