石油设备网讯 据菲律宾日报5月28日巴坦加斯报道，菲律宾电力公司（First Gen Corp.）和东京天然气有限公司（Tokyo Gas Co. Ltd.）在菲律宾的液化天然气进口终端项目破土动工，该项目是为了确保依赖马兰帕亚天然气的发电厂有持续的燃料供应。
目前在菲律宾地区尚未发现新的气田，预计到本世纪20年代中期，马兰帕亚油田的天然气供应将耗尽。
目前，First Gen运营着四个燃气发电厂，总装机容量约2000兆瓦，其中包括1000兆瓦的圣丽塔发电厂、500兆瓦的圣洛伦佐发电厂、414兆瓦的圣加百列发电厂和97兆瓦的艾文发电厂，这些发电厂都位于该终端项目附近。
此天然气项目将打造两个年容量分别为500万吨和200万吨的储罐。
这将是东京天然气公司在日本地区以外建立的首个液化天然气终端。
东京天然气公司27日主持了 “镜开き”（kagami biraki）仪式，这是日本的一个传统仪式，在庆祝新年、公司开业、项目启动等场合时举行，象征未来会有好运气。

First Gen, Tokyo Gas kick off LNG terminal project
First Gen Corp. & Tokyo Gas Co. Ltd. have broken ground for their LNG (liquefied natural gas) terminal project here, meant to ensure continuous fuel supply for power plants that currently rely on Malampaya gas.
There is no new discovery of gas fields in the Philippines yet, and Malampaya is expected to start producing less fuel by the mid-2020s.
First Gen currently operates four gas-fed power plants with an aggregate capacity of about 2,000 megawatts, including the 1,000-MW Santa Rita, 500-MW San Lorenzo, 414-MW San Gabriel and 97-MW Avion — all of which sit adjacent to the LNG project site.
The two-phase LNG project will have two storage tanks with capacities of 5 million tons yearly and 2 mtpa.
This will be Tokyo Gas’ first such facility outside Japan.
The company on Monday led a “kagami biraki” ceremony — a traditional Japanese rite performed when celebrating New Year as well as when embarking on new endeavors. (Editor: Cenon B. Bibe Jr.)
