石油设备网讯 据天然气工业6月4日消息称，切尼尔能源公司宣布其子公司切尼尔科珀斯克里斯蒂液化第三阶段公司与Apache公司签订了长期天然气供应协议（GSA）。
根据GSA协议，Apache已同意每天向科珀斯克里斯蒂液化第三阶段公司出售1400亿英热单位的天然气，为期约15年。与该天然气供应相关的液化天然气约为85万吨/年，将由切尼尔销售。根据本协议，Apache将收到液化天然气价格，扣除固定液化费和切尼尔产生的某些成本，用于交付给科珀斯克里斯蒂第三阶段的天然气。液化天然气价格以国际液化天然气指数为基础。
切尼尔总裁兼首席执行官Jack Fusco表示：“与Apache达成的这项首次长期协议代表了美国液化天然气行业的商业发展，因为它将确保从二叠纪盆地的主要生产商之一向切尼尔持续可靠地输送天然气，同时使得Apache能够获得全球LNG定价并获得其天然气的流量保证。此商业协议预计将支持科珀斯克里斯蒂液化第三阶段项目，强化了切尼尔创建创新的协作解决方案以满足客户需求并支持切尼尔发展的记录。”
Apache首席执行官兼总裁John J. Christmann IV表示：“Apache与切尼尔的协议是公司长期战略的一部分，该战略旨在利用我们在二叠纪盆地的资产规模，并通过进入Alpine High生产的天然气新市场，使我们的客户群和成本结构多样化。我们很高兴与切尼尔合作开展此创新营销协议。”
科珀斯克里斯蒂第三阶段项目正在开发中，包括多达七条中间规格的液化生产线，总预计名义产能约为950万吨/年。科珀斯克里斯蒂第三阶段于2019年3月获得联邦能源监管委员会的积极环境评估，预计到2019年底，该项目将获得所有剩余的必要监管批准。

Cheniere and Apache sign gas supply agreement
Cheniere Energy, Inc. has announced that its subsidiary, Cheniere Corpus Christi Liquefaction Stage III, LLC, has entered into a long-term gas supply agreement (GSA) with Apache Corporation.
Under the GSA, Apache has agreed to sell 140 billion Btu per day of natural gas to Corpus Christi Stage III for a term of approximately 15 years. The LNG associated with this gas supply, approximately 0.85 million tpy, will be marketed by Cheniere. Apache will receive an LNG price, net of a fixed liquefaction fee and certain costs incurred by Cheniere, for the natural gas delivered to Corpus Christi Stage III under this agreement. The LNG price is based on international LNG indices.
“This first-of-its-kind long-term agreement with Apache represents a commercial evolution in the US LNG industry, as it will ensure the continued reliable delivery of natural gas to Cheniere from one of the premier producers in the Permian Basin, while enabling Apache to access global LNG pricing and receive flow assurance for its gas,” said Jack Fusco, Cheniere’s President and CEO. “This commercial agreement, which is expected to support the Corpus Christi Stage III project, reinforces Cheniere’s track record of creating innovative, collaborative solutions to meet customers’ needs and support Cheniere’s growth.”
“Apache’s agreement with Cheniere is part of the company’s long-term strategy to leverage the scale of our assets in the Permian Basin and diversify our customer base and cost structure by accessing new markets for natural gas produced at Alpine High. We are pleased to partner with Cheniere in this innovative marketing agreement,” said John J. Christmann IV, Apache’s Chief Executive Officer and President.
The Corpus Christi Stage III project is being developed to include up to seven midscale liquefaction trains with a total expected nominal production capacity of approximately 9.5 million tpy. Corpus Christi Stage III received a positive Environmental Assessment from the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission in March 2019 and is expected to receive all remaining necessary regulatory approvals for the project by the end of 2019.
