据世界能源7月20日消息：巴基斯坦和俄罗斯政府签署了一项初步协议，将建设165亿立方米/年的巴基斯坦天然气管道，这将使再气化的液化天然气能够到达该国北部。
该管道将连接巴基斯坦旁遮普省首府拉合尔和卡西姆港，该国两个运营中的液化天然气进口终端就在那里。这条管道以前被称为南北管道，在多次延误后，预计将于2023年完工。
巴基斯坦政府去年12月批准了该项目，一个未透露姓名的俄罗斯财团预计将持有该项目26-49%的股份。两国政府此前在2015年签署了初步协议，但该项目进展甚微。
随着卡西姆港液化天然气进口量的增加，通往该国人口最多省份的传输线路可能会提高巴基斯坦的液化天然气需求。该管道全长1100公里，产能约为4530万立方米/天，可输送1290万吨/年的再气化液化天然气，超过了卡西姆港目前1270万吨/年的进口峰值能力。这表明在增加更多进口能力之前，管道的利用率可能会受到阻碍。
近几个月来，强劲的天然气需求和国内产量的下降提振了巴基斯坦的液化天然气进口，该国两家国有买家频繁进入现货市场，以在各自的长期供应安排之外采购额外的数量。除了与QP子公司卡塔尔天然气公司现有的375万吨/年的协议之外，买家之一巴基斯坦国家石油公司还与卡塔尔的QP签署了另一项从2022年初起最多300万吨/年的定期供应协议。

Pakistan, Russia Sign Gas Pipeline Agreement
The governments of Pakistan and Russia have signed a preliminary agreement for the construction of the 16.5bn m³/yr Pakistan Stream Gas pipeline, which could allow regasified LNG to reach the northern part of the country.
The pipeline will link Lahore — the capital of Pakistan's Punjab province — with Port Qasim, where the country's two operational LNG import terminals are. Construction of the pipeline, previously known as the North-South pipeline, is now expected to be completed by 2023, following multiple delays.
The Pakistani government approved the project in December last year, with an unnamed Russian consortium expected to build the pipeline and hold a 26-49pc share in the project. The two governments previously signed a preliminary agreement in 2015, but the project made little progress.
The transmission link to the country's most populous province could boost Pakistani LNG demand once more LNG import capacity is added at Port Qasim. With a capacity of around 45.3mn m³/d, the 1,100km pipeline could deliver up to 12.9mn t/yr of regasified LNG — greater than the combined 12.7mn t/yr peak import capacity installed at Port Qasim at present. This suggests that the pipeline's utilisation could remain stunted until more import capacity is added.
Strong gas demand and waning domestic output has buoyed Pakistan's LNG imports in recent months, with the country's two state-owned buyers frequently stepping into the spot market to procure additional volumes on top of their respective long-term supply arrangements. One of the buyers, Pakistan State Oil, has also signed another term supply deal with Qatar's QP for up to 3mn t/yr from the start of 2022, in addition to its existing 3.75mn t/yr agreement with QP subsidiary Qatargas.
