石油设备网讯 据路透社莫斯科奥斯陆报道，Refinitiv Eikon航运数据显示，俄罗斯最大的私人天然气生产商诺瓦泰克已经开始从其在俄罗斯波罗的海港口维索茨克新建的小型液化天然气（LNG）工厂出口液化天然气。
俄罗斯是世界上最大的天然气生产国之一，其目标是成为液化天然气的主要参与者，并像全球领先的卡塔尔一样出口液化天然气。到目前为止，俄罗斯已经有两家液化天然气工厂在运营：位于远东的俄罗斯天然气工业股份公司(俄气/Gazprom)主导的萨哈林-2和位于亚马尔半岛的诺瓦泰克亚马尔液化天然气。
诺瓦泰克与俄气工业银行一起，已经建造了维索茨克工厂，但尚未正式投产，该工厂每年的冷冻气体产能为66万吨。
诺瓦泰克的亚马尔工厂向欧洲和亚洲出口液化天然气，其每年的冻结天然气产能为1650万吨，并有可能进一步扩大。
根据Refinitiv Eikon的数据，在3月31日至4月16日期间，诺瓦泰克从维索茨克运送了7批货物，总体积为67800立方米的冷冻天然气。
立陶宛港口克莱佩达接收了三批货物，芬兰港口塔霍洛托和托尔尼奥各接收了一批，其余两批运往瑞典的维斯比和尼奈斯港。
俄罗斯液化天然气供应的增加，正值俄罗斯最大的天然气生产商俄气在欧洲面临更激烈的天然气竞争，其新的天然气管道项目也遭到一些国家的反对。
诺瓦泰克运往克莱佩达的货物也标志着一个重要的转变，因为以立陶宛为首的波罗的海国家试图减少对俄气天然气的依赖，因为俄气是他们几十年来的唯一来源。
液化天然气的成本可能超过管道天然气的成本，但其有更大的灵活性。
名为“Independence”的克莱佩达LNG进口设施于2014年在立陶宛建成，旨在打破俄气对立陶宛、拉脱维亚和爱沙尼亚供应的垄断。
2017年底，该设施从美国进口液化天然气，并计划将产量增加一倍以上。

Russia's Novatek starts shipping LNG from new small-scale plant: data
Novatek, Russia’s largest private gas producer, has started to export liquefied natural gas (LNG) from its newly built small-scale LNG plant in Russia’s Baltic Sea port of Vysotsk, Refinitiv Eikon shipping data showed.
Russia, one of the world’s top gas producers, aims to be a major player in LNG and to export as much as one of the global leaders in the market, Qatar. So far, Russia has two LNG plants in operation: Gazprom-led Sakhalin-2 on the Far East and Novatek’s Yamal LNG, on the Arctic Yamal peninsula.
Novatek, along with Gazprombank, has built but not yet officially launched its Vysotsk plant, which has a capacity of 660,000 tonnes of frozen gas per year.
Novatek’s Yamal facility exports both to Europe and Asia and has a capacity of 16.5 million tonnes of frozen gas per year, with the possibility of expansion.
According to Refinitiv Eikon flows data, Novatek shipped seven cargoes with a total volume of 67,800 cubic meters of frozen gas between March 31 and April 16 from Vysotsk.
Three cargoes were received by Lithuanian port Klaipeda, one each by the Finnish ports of Tahkoluoto (Pori) and Tornio, and the remaining two went to Visby and Nynashamn in Sweden.
The increase in Moscow’s LNG supplies comes at a time when Russia’s top gas producer Gazprom is facing tougher competition in Europe for its gas and opposition from a number of nations for its new gas pipeline projects.
Novatek’s shipment to Klaipeda also marks an important shift as the Baltic states, led by Lithuania, try to reduce their dependence on gas from Gazprom, their sole source for decades.
LNG, which can cost more than pipeline gas, allows for greater flexibility.
The Klaipeda LNG import facility, named “Independence”, was built in Lithuania in 2014 to break Gazprom’s monopoly on supplies to Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia.
In late 2017 it imported LNG from the United States and it plans to more than double its volumes.
