石油设备网讯 据普氏能源资讯4月2日报道称，日本Jera公司和欧洲能源公司EDF Trading已完成将各自LNG优化和交易活动合并到Jera Global Markets（JERAGM），此举旨在提高其全球投资组合灵活性和风险缓解能力。
此次合并是LNG利益相关方之间加强合作的全球趋势的一部分，旨在消除LNG价值链中的低效，并将交易和风险管理优势结合起来。
Jera周二在一份声明中表示，JERAGM将管理Jera和EDFT在批发市场的集体中短期LNG优化活动。该协议不会影响两家公司的长期采购活动。
此交易是继JERAGM于2017年4月4日成功完成对EDFT煤炭业务的收购之后进行的。
“这对EDFT来说是一个很好的机会，它加强了我们与全球最大的液化天然气和煤炭买家之一的合作关系，”EDFT的首席执行官John Rittenhouse表示。
“在全球液化天然气市场扩张的情况下，JERAGM将为建立和加强与现有和新的交易对手的关系做出重大贡献，”Jera的执行董事兼JERAGM董事长 Sunao Nakamura说。

Japan's Jera, Europe's EDF complete LNG optimization, trading merger
Japan's Jera and European energy company EDF Trading have completed the merger of their LNG optimization and trading activities into Jera Global Markets, a move aimed at enhancing their global portfolio flexibility and risk mitigation capabilities.
The merger is part of a global trend towards greater cooperation between LNG stakeholders looking to smooth out inefficiencies in the LNG value chain, and combine trading and risk management strengths.
JERAGM will manage Jera's and EDFT's collective short and medium-term LNG optimization activities in the wholesale markets, Jera said in a statement Tuesday. The agreement will not affect their long-term procurement activities.
This transaction follows the successful completion of the acquisition of EDFT's coal business by JERAGM on April 4, 2017.
"This is a great opportunity for EDFT, which strengthens our partnership with one of the largest buyers of LNG and coal in the world," EDFT's chief executive John Rittenhouse said.
"JERAGM would significantly contribute to building and strengthening relationships with both current and new counterparties amid global expansion of the LNG market," Jera's managing executive officer, who is also JERAGM's chairman, Sunao Nakamura said.
