美国德尔芬公司LNG项目将在2020年做出FID

据10月30日Gulf Times报道，德尔芬（Delfin）中游公司正在推进其Delfin液化天然气项目的前端工程和设计(FEED)工作。该项目旨在连接路易斯安娜州以外海域的浮式液化天然气设施。

2018年最后一个季度，Delfin开始与三星重工(Samsung Heavy Industries)和Black & Veatch合作，在今年上半年开展了新建造的浮式液化天然气(FLNG)项目的前期准备工作。到2020年年中，将完成FEED工程和设计、采购、施工、安装和调试（EPCIC）合同。最终投资决定（FID）预计将在2020年出台。

该公司表示，其液化天然气计划的生产成本（将使用现有管道）约为每吨液化天然气500-550美元左右。这些船只的总容量将达到每年350万吨。Delfin公司表示，其现有管道和供应能力将足够容纳一至三艘FLNG船只。

Delfin项目将有四个FLNG，总液化天然气产能为1300万吨/年。第二个项目Avocet的潜力可达800吨/年。每艘船都可以根据自己的融资计划和结构进行开发。选择范围包括不同的价格模式，如Henry Hub linked或tolling，期限从10年到25年不等。在公司层面，可以通过综合性协议或合资企业来制定计划，潜在的买家、生产商和贸易商可能会参与其中。

Delfin的首席运营官Wouter Pastoor表示：“由于Delfin天然气管道中的液化天然气并非产自储层中，而是纯粹液化的‘管道优质天然气’（因此这些天然气管道公司为自己提供了低成本和标准化的解决方案）。与SHI和Black & Veatch合作，提供完整的EPCIC合同，增强了我们项目的稳健性，标志着液化天然气行业向前迈出了重要的一步。”

Delfin LNG eyes FID for 2020

Delfin Midstream is moving ahead with front-end engineering and design (FEED) work align="justify">Delfin began working with Samsung Heavy Industries (SHI) and Black & Veatch in the last quarter of 2018, carrying out pre-FEED work align="justify">The company said production costs from its FLNG scheme, which would use existing pipelines, would be around $500-550 per tonne of LNG capacity. The vessels would have total capacity of 3.5 million tonnes per year. Delfin said its existing pipelines and supply capacity would be “ample” for “the first” two to three FLNG vessels.

The Delfin project would have space for four FLNG slots, giving a total of 13mn tpy of LNG capacity. A second project, Avocet, would have up to 8mn tpy of potential. Each of the vessels can be developed with its own financing plans and structures. The range of options includes different price models, such as Henry Hub linked or tolling, with terms from 10 to 25 years. At the company level, plans could be developed through integrated agreements or joint ventures, with offtakers, producers and traders potentially involved.

“Since the Delfin FLNG vessels are not producing from a reservoir, but purely liquefy standard ‘pipeline quality gas’, these FLNG vessels lend themselves for low-cost and standardised solutions. Working with SHI and Black & Veatch, collaboratively offering a complete EPCIC wrap, enhances the robustness of our projects and marks another important step forward in the LNG industry,” said Delfin’s COO Wouter Pastoor.
