Magnolia LNG与越南政府达成LNG供应协议

据全球能源新闻网12月30日报道，拟议中的路易斯安那州Magnolia液化天然气出口终端与越南政府之间的液化天然气供应交易向前迈出了重大一步。

在12月19日的决议中，越南政府在其国家电力发展计划中增加了Bac Lieu液化天然气发电项目。根据这一计划，总部位于新加坡的Delta Offshore能源(DOE)公司将在Bac Lieu建造一座天然气发电厂和一座配套的海上LNG进口终端。

液化天然气有限公司（LNG Limited）是澳大利亚和休斯敦在查尔斯湖开发Magnolia液化天然气出口终端的公司，该公司于今年9月份达成了一项为期20年的协议，旨在每年向Delta的3200兆瓦发电厂供应200万吨液化天然气。

越南国家电力开发计划中增加了该项目，这为Delta谈判和最终敲定天然气发电厂的购电协议铺平了道路，该发电厂原本计划作为燃煤发电厂。

Magnolia液化天然气设施尚未建成，但该公司持有联邦许可证，可建造一座年产800万吨LNG的工厂。LNG有限公司正在征求将年产量提高80万吨的许可；越南的供应量占拟议的工厂目前允许产量的四分之一。

Delta Offshore Energy计划在Bac Lieu省建设一座天然气发电厂以及一个海上LNG进口码头，该码头在业内被称为浮式存储再气化装置(FSRU)。

来自Magnolia液化天然气的油轮将到达计划中的FSRU，在那里过冷的液体燃料将被转换成其气体形式，并输入水下管道，将天然气输送到陆上发电厂。

MAGNOLIA LNG SIGNS SUPPLY DEAL WITH VIETNAMESE GOVERNMENT

A liquefied natural gas supply deal between the proposed Magnolia LNG export terminal in Louisiana and the Vietnamese government took a major step forward.

In a Dec. 19 decision, the Vietnamese government added the Bac Lieu LNG-to-Power project to its National Power Development Plan. Under the plan, Singapore-based Delta Offshore Energy will build a natural gas-fired power plant in Bac Lieu province and a supporting offshore LNG import terminal.

LNG Limited, the Australia and Houston-based company developing Magnolia LNG export terminal in Lake Charles, landed a 20-year deal in September to supply 2 million metric tons of liquefied natural gas per year to Delta’s 3,200-megawatt power plant.

The addition of the project to Vietnam’s National Power Development Plan clears the path for Delta to negotiate and finalize the power purchase agreement for the natural gas-fired power plant, which had originally been planned as a coal-fired facility.

Magnolia LNG has yet to be built, but the company holds a federal permit to build a plant that will produce 8 million metric tons of LNG per year. LNG Limited is seeking permission to boost that production by another 800,000 metric tons per year; the Vietnamese supply represents align="justify">Delta Offshore Energy plans to build a natural gas power plant in Bac Lieu province as well as an offshore LNG import terminal, known in the industry as a floating storage regasification unit, or FSRU.
