据MRCHUB网站3月21日莫斯科报道，根据烃加工网信息显示，美国能源公司森普拉能源公司（Sempra）宣布，其拥有70%股权的子公司森普拉基础设施合作伙伴公司（Sempra Infrastructure Partners，LP）就得克萨斯州杰斐逊县亚瑟港液化天然气一期项目的开发、建设和运营达成了积极的最终投资决定(FID)。
森普拉基础设施关闭了与康菲石油公司一家附属公司的合资企业，并宣布了一项协议，将该项目的间接非控股权益出售给KKR公司管理的基础设施基金。此外，森普拉基础设施宣布结束该项目68亿美元的无追索权债务融资，并发布根据该项目的工程、采购和施工协议进行的最终通知。
森普拉董事长兼首席执行官Jeffrey W.Martin表示：“在森普拉，我们相信大胆、前瞻性的合作伙伴关系将是解决世界能源安全和脱碳挑战的核心。凭借强大的客户、康菲石油公司和KKR公司的股权赞助商以及柏克德公司的世界级承包商，随着时间的推移，该项目有可能成为美国最重要的能源基础设施投资之一，同时在得克萨斯州和墨西哥湾沿岸地区创造就业机会，促进经济持续增长。”
得克萨斯州州长格雷格·阿博特（Greg Abbott）表示，森普拉选择亚瑟港作为新的天然气液化和出口终端，这是一项战略决定，将巩固得克萨斯州作为世界能源之都的地位。得克萨斯州拥有高技能的劳动力和有利于业务推进的营商环境，并且是液化天然气出口的国家级领导者，是扩大液化天然气业务的最佳地点，以释放美国在这一关键行业的全部经济潜力。扩大液化天然气对美国能源安全至关重要，得克萨斯州期待着与森普拉合作，推进这一使命，为辛勤工作的得克萨斯人民带来更多的就业岗位和更多的机会。”
亚瑟港液化天然气一期项目已获得完全许可，其设计包括两条天然气液化生产线，两个液化天然气储罐和相关设施，铭牌产能约为1300万吨/年。亚瑟港一期项目的总资本支出估计为130亿美元。
根据与强大的交易对手——康菲石油公司、莱茵集团供应和贸易公司、PKN ORLEN美国、INEOS和ENGIE美国签订的具有约束力的长期协议，约1050万吨/年的长期可签约产能已全部认购，所有这些协议在达成FID后生效。森普拉基础设施也在积极营销和开发具有竞争力的亚瑟港液化天然气二期项目，该项目预计将具有与一期类似的承购能力。
我们提醒，雪佛龙菲利普斯化学(CPChem)和Charter Next Generation (CNG)——使该基金的总资本达到4500万美元，以支持北美塑料回收和回收基础设施的发展。

Sempra launches Port Arthur LNG project
Sempra announced that its 70%-owned subsidiary, Sempra Infrastructure Partners, LP (Sempra Infrastructure), reached a positive final investment decision (FID) for the development, construction and operation of the Port Arthur LNG Phase 1 project in Jefferson County, Texas, said Hydrocarbonprocessing.
Sempra Infrastructure closed its joint venture with an affiliate of ConocoPhillips, as well as announced an agreement to sell an indirect, non-controlling interest in the project to an infrastructure fund managed by KKR. Additionally, Sempra Infrastructure announced the closing of the project's $6.8 B non-recourse debt financing and the issuance of the final notice to proceed under the project's engineering, procurement and construction agreement.
"At Sempra, we believe bold, forward-looking partnerships will be central to solving the world's energy security and decarbonization challenges," said Jeffrey W. Martin, chairman and chief executive officer of Sempra. "With strong customers, top-tier equity sponsors in ConocoPhillips and KKR and a world class contractor in Bechtel, this project has the potential to become one of America's most significant energy infrastructure investments over time, while creating jobs and spurring continued economic growth across Texas and the Gulf Coast region."
"Sempra's selection of Port Arthur as the location for a new natural gas liquefication and export terminal is a strategic decision that will cement Texas' position as the energy capital of the world," said Texas Gov. Greg Abbott. "With a highly skilled workforce and business-friendly climate, and as a national leader in LNG exports, Texas is the prime location to expand LNG operations to unleash the United States' full economic potential in such a critical industry. Expanding LNG is imperative to American energy security, and the State of Texas looks forward to working alongside Sempra to advance this mission and bring more jobs and greater opportunities to hardworking Texans."
The Port Arthur LNG Phase 1 project is fully permitted and is designed to include two natural gas liquefaction trains, two liquefied natural gas (LNG) storage tanks and associated facilities with a nameplate capacity of approximately 13 MMtpy. Total capital expenditures for the Port Arthur Phase 1 project are estimated at USD13 B.
The long-term contractable capacity of approximately 10.5 Mtpa is fully subscribed under binding long-term agreements with strong counterparties —ConocoPhillips, RWE Supply and Trading, PKN ORLEN S.A., INEOS and ENGIE S.A., all of which became effective upon reaching FID. Sempra Infrastructure is also actively marketing and developing the competitively positioned Port Arthur LNG Phase 2 project, which is expected to have similar offtake capacity to Phase 1.
We remind, Chevron Phillips Chemical (CPChem) and Charter Next Generation (CNG)––bringing the fund’s total capital to USD45 M in an effort to support the development of plastics recycling and recovery infrastructure in North America.
