中国石化新闻网讯 据路透社8月7日消息,埃及公司计划在2019年第一季度开始从以色列海上油田进口天然气,并将其再出口作为其成为区域天然气中心计划的一部分,埃及能源行业的消息人士告诉路透社。
今年2月,以色列的德勒集团和总部位于休斯顿的Noble Energy-- 以色列两个大型天然气田的主要合作伙伴 - 签署了协议,将利维坦和塔玛油田的大量天然气出售给Dolphinus Holdings,以便在埃及供应天然气。
这些协议,一个来自利维坦的天然气和一个来自添马舰的天然气,每个协议的总合同数量为1.15万亿立方英尺天然气。Noble Energy在2月份表示,预计10年期合同下的天然气销售将为工业和石化客户以及埃及的未来发电提供供应。
两种出口交易所供应的天然气价格将由与布伦特原油价格挂钩的价格公式确定。德勒估计,添马舰和利维坦天然气销售到埃及的总收入可能达到150亿美元。
由于最近在地中海国家启动了几个新的天然气项目,埃及已经得到世界银行的支持,努力成为区域石油和天然气贸易中心。

Egypt To Start Importing Israeli Gas For Re-export In Early 2019
An Egyptian company is set to begin importing gas from Israeli offshore fields in the first quarter of 2019 and to re-export it as part of its plan to become a regional gas hub, sources in Egypt’s energy industry tell Reuters.
In February this year, Israel’s Delek Group and Houston-based Noble Energy—the main partners in two large gas fields offshore Israel—signed agreements to sell significant quantities of natural gas from the Leviathan and Tamar fields to Dolphinus Holdings to supply gas in Egypt.
These agreements, one for natural gas from Leviathan and one for Tamar, each provide for total contract quantities of 1.15 trillion cubic feet of natural gas. The natural gas sales, both under 10-year contracts, are expected to supply industrial and petrochemical customers as well as future power generation in Egypt, Noble Energy said back in February.
The price of the gas to be supplied under both export deals will be set by a price formula linked to Brent Crude prices. Delek has estimated that the total revenues from the Tamar and the Leviathan gas sale deals to Egypt may reach US$15 billion.
Egypt has received the backing of the World Bank in its efforts to be a regional oil and gas trading hub, as several new gas projects started up recently in the Mediterranean country.
