据油气新闻网3月8日报道,坦桑尼亚能源部表示,坦桑尼亚、挪威Equinor公司和英国壳牌公司就建设一座价值300亿美元的液化天然气(LNG)终端的谈判已经完成,合同准备工作正在进行中。
由于监管方面的拖延,坦桑尼亚巨大的海上天然气资源的开发已被搁置多年。
去年6月,三方签署了一项框架协议,旨在加快该项目建设的启动。政府的目标是在2025年对该设施做出最终投资决定。
能源部周一晚间在其推特账户上表示,部长马坎巴(Januar Makamba)表示,该液化天然气项目建设的谈判已经完成,现在专家们正在起草合同。在这些合同中,一份是关于东道国政府协议,另一份是加入区块1、2和4,这将为该液化天然气项目提供天然气,但没有给出何时签署合同的时间表。
壳牌公司经营着坦桑尼亚的1号区块和4号区块,预计可采天然气储量为16万亿立方英尺。
挪威石油和天然气生产商Equinor还运营着2号区块,埃克森美孚持有该区块的股份,据估计该区块拥有超过20万亿立方英尺的天然气。
Equinor和壳牌公司,以及埃克森美孚公司、欧菲尔能源公司和Pavilion能源公司,计划在坦桑尼亚东南部Lindi地区建造液化天然气工厂。
坦桑尼亚已经将其发现的一些天然气用于发电和运营制造厂。其还计划建造一座化肥厂。
截至2022年6月,坦桑尼亚政府估计该国的可采天然气总量为57.54万亿立方英尺。

Tanzania completes negotiations of $30bn LNG project with Shell, Equinor
Negotiations for the construction of a $30 billion liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminal between Tanzania, Norway's Equinor and Britain's Shell are complete and contract preparations are underway, Tanzania's energy ministry said.
The development of Tanzania's vast offshore gas resources has been held up for years due to regulatory delays.
Last June, all three parties involved signed a framework agreement aimed at bringing closer the start of the project's construction. The government aims to reach a final investment decision in 2025 for the facility.
"Minister January Makamba said negotiations on the construction of the LNG project were complete, and now experts are at work drafting contracts," the energy ministry said on its Twitter account late Monday.
"Of these contracts, one is about the Host Government Agreement and another is on joining blocks 1, 2 and 4, which will provide natural gas for the LNG project," it said without giving a timeline for when the contracts will be signed.
Shell operates Tanzania's Block 1 and Block 4, which hold 16 trillion cubic feet (cu ft) in estimated recoverable gas.
Norwegian oil and gas producer Equinor also operates Block 2, in which ExxonMobil holds a stake and which is estimated to hold more than 20 trillion cu ft of gas.
Equinor and Shell, along with Exxon Mobil, Ophir Energy and Pavilion Energy, plan to build the LNG plant in Tanzania's south east Lindi region.
Tanzania already uses some of its natural gas discoveries for power generation and to run manufacturing plants. It also plans to build a fertiliser plant.
The government has put the country's total estimated recoverable gas at 57.54 trillion cu ft, as of June 2022.
