壳牌考虑签署15年合同购买以塞两国天然气

中国石化新闻网讯 据美国彭博新闻社3月22日伦敦报道，荷兰皇家壳牌公司时下正在考虑签署一项长达15年的合同从位于塞浦路斯和以色列海上的气田为其在埃及的液化天然气（LNG）厂购买天然气。

根据以色列德勒克钻井公司周三发表的年度报告，壳牌公司正在谈判每年从位于塞浦路斯水域的阿佛洛狄特气田购买60亿立方米天然气。一项潜在协议还可能包括来自邻近的以色列最大海上气田列维坦大气田的天然气。

以色列列维坦大气田预计将在2019年年底前开始天然气生产。

总部位于海牙的壳牌公司将把从以色列和塞浦路斯购买的天然气用于其在埃及伊德库的LNG厂。德勒克钻井公司说，这个埃及设施具有年产1200万立方米LNG的能力。

壳牌公司的代表没有立即回复记者的置评请求。

Shell Mulls 15-Year Deal for Israeli, Cypriot Gas, Partner Says

Royal Dutch Shell Plc is weighing a 15-year contract to buy natural gas for its liquefied natural gas plant in Egypt from offshore fields in Cyprus and Israel.

Shell is in talks to purchase 6 billion cubic meters of natural gas a year from the Aphrodite field, located in Cypriot waters, according to Delek Drilling LP’s annual report Wednesday. A potential deal also could include gas from the neighboring Leviathan reservoir, Israel’s largest pool, which is expected to start production by the end of 2019.

The Hague-based Shell would earmark the Israeli and Cypriot gas for its LNG plant in Idku, Egypt. The Egyptian facility has a maximum annual capacity of 12 billion cubic meters, Delek said. Representatives for Shell did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
