石油设备网讯 据路透社伊斯兰堡报道，巴基斯坦高级官员上周五表示，来自世界最大的原油生产商——沙特阿美的代表团正在巴基斯坦讨论液化天然气（LNG）事宜，这将是其有史以来首次液化天然气的运输。
巴基斯坦正面临能源危机，反复停电和天然气供应中断，导致其两家主要天然气分销公用事业公司的负责人在今年1月被解雇。
总理伊姆兰汗的能源改革工作组负责人纳迪姆巴巴尔告诉路透社，沙特代表团星期四抵达时正在讨论液化天然气的供应问题。
他说：“他们正在讨论液化天然气的销售，沙特阿美正在启动液化天然气贸易业务，我们正在讨论所有方面的问题，包括条款和数量等。”
沙特阿美目前并不生产液化天然气，任何此类销售都将是其首次销售，沙特阿美没有立即回应记者的置评请求。
沙特阿美首席执行官纳赛尔今年2月份曾表示，沙特阿拉伯的目标是在2030年前通过管道和液化天然气油轮每天出口30亿立方英尺的天然气。
巴基斯坦液化天然气公司首席执行官上月表示，巴基斯坦对液化天然气的需求在未来3至5年内可能增加两倍以上，并预计该国将谈判以达成更多的长期合同，将液化天然气进口到该国。
来自refitiveikon的数据显示，去年，巴基斯坦进口了近700万吨液化天然气，巴基斯坦液化天然气公司董事总经理兼首席执行官阿德南·吉拉尼（Adnan Gilani）表示，今年，这一数量可能会增加到1500万吨，在未来三到五年内将达到2500万至3000万吨。
巴基斯坦液化天然气公司是一家国有企业，从国际市场购买液化天然气供应国内市场。
根据吉拉尼在新加坡举行的2019年LNGA会议上所做的报告，巴基斯坦的两个进口终端每天的天然气再气化产能为12亿至13亿立方英尺，即每年900万至1000万吨液化天然气。

Saudi Aramco team in Pakistan for talks on first LNG deals: official
A delegation from the world’s largest crude oil producer, Saudi Aramco, is in Pakistan for discussions on what would be its first ever liquefied natural gas (LNG) shipments, a top Pakistani official said on Friday.
Pakistan is facing an energy crisis with repeated power blackouts and gas supply outages that led to the sacking of the heads of two of its main gas distribution utilities in January.
The Saudi delegation, which arrived on Thursday, was discussing LNG supplies, Nadeem Babar, the head of Prime Minister Imran Khan’s task force on energy reforms, told Reuters.
“They’re discussing LNG sales. They’re entering this business,” he said. “Aramco is starting an LNG trade operation, and we are in discussion over all aspects, including terms and quantity, etc.”
Aramco doesn’t currently produce LNG, and any such sale would be first of its kind. Aramco didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.
Saudi Aramco Chief Executive Amin Nasser said in February that Saudi Arabia aims to export 3 billion cubic feet per day of gas before 2030 via both pipelines and LNG tankers.
Pakistan’s demand for LNG could more than triple in the next three to five years, the chief executive of Pakistan LNG said last month, adding that Islamabad was expected to negotiate a few more long-term contracts to import LNG into the country.
Last year, Pakistan imported nearly 7 tonnes of LNG, data from Refinitiv Eikon shows. This year, that could grow to as high as 15 million tonnes and to up to 25 million to 30 million tonnes over the next three to five years, said Adnan Gilani, managing director and chief executive of Pakistan LNG.
Pakistan LNG is a state-owned company that buys LNG from the international market to supply to the domestic market.
Pakistan’s two import terminals have a regas capacity of 1.2 billion to 1.3 billion cubic feet of gas per day, or about 9 million to 10 million tonnes of LNG a year, according to Gilani’s presentation at the LNGA 2019 conference in Singapore.?
