石油设备网讯 据普氏能源资讯2019年3月20日休斯敦报道，北美最大的能源基础设施公司金德摩根公司（Kinder Morgan）周三表示，由于工期延误，该公司将把乔治亚州的Elba液化天然气（LNG）出口终端推迟至4月份启用，并在更新后的时间表中建议全部10条液化生产线可能要到2020年初才能全部完工。
乔治亚州Elba出口终端是美国预计将在今年投入使用的3个液化设施之一，这个LNG出
口终端的投产将有助于美国努力成为全球目的地的主要LNG供应国。
Elba、弗里波特港LNG和桑普拉能源公司的卡梅伦LNG的启动将使美国正在运营的主要LNG出口终端数量增加一倍。这3个LNG项目都面临工期或与天气有关的延误。在金德摩根公司的情况中，运营商最近表示，首条LNG生产线预计将在3月底投入运营，其余9条LNG生产线将在今年年底投产。
金德摩根公司此前曾预计这个项目将在2018年底前启动。

Kinder Morgan pushes startup of Georgia LNG export terminal back to April
Kinder Morgan said Wednesday it was pushing back startup of its Elba LNG export terminal in Georgia to April because of construction delays, and in an updated timeline suggested completion of all 10 liquefaction trains may not occur until early 2020.
The Georgia terminal is among three US liquefaction facilities that are expected to begin service this year, aiding the country's efforts to be a major supplier of LNG to global destinations.
The startup of Elba, Freeport LNG and Sempra Energy's Cameron LNG would double the number of major US LNG export terminals in operation. All three have faced construction or weather-related delays. In Kinder Morgan's case, the operator had most recently said it expected in-service of the first train by the end of March, with the remaining trains online by the end of 2019. Startup had previously been expected by the end of 2018.
