石油设备网讯 据世界天然气6月18日报道，美国能源公司和液化天然气运营商Sempra energy已向美国联邦能源监管委员会(FERC)提交申请，要求启动亚瑟港液化天然气扩建项目备案审查程序。
Sempra在文件中称，扩建项目将位于得克萨斯州亚瑟港附近，为最近批准的亚瑟港液化项目增加了额外的液化能力。
该扩建项目将增加两列液化列车，它们将位于基地项目1号和2号基地项目旁边。3号和4号项目生产的液化天然气将用作基地项目一部分的储罐和海洋设施储存和出口。扩建项目将使液化天然气的年产能从1号和2号项目的总年产能1,350万公吨提高到约2700万公吨。
Sempra建议在2020年1月正式申请拟议的扩建项目，从扩建项目的预申请审查程序开始之日起大约6个月。
在该申请中，Sempra将要求委员会在2021年1月之前发布对扩建项目的选址、建设和运营的授权。Sempra预计将于2022年3月申请授权开始建设。

Sempra files request for Port Arthur LNG expansion
U.S. energy company and LNG operator Sempra Energy has filed a request with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) to start the pre-filing review process of the Port Arthur LNG expansion process.
The expansion project will be located at the site of the recently approved Port Arthur liquefaction project near Port Arthur, Texas, adding additional liquefaction capacity to the facility, Sempra said in its filing.
The project would add two liquefaction trains which will be located adjacent to Trains 1 and 2 in the base project. LNG produced from Trains 3 and 4 will be stored and exported using storage tanks and marine facilities approved as part of the base project.
The expansion project will increase LNG production capacity from 13.5 million metric tons per annum (mtpa) in aggregate from Trains 1 and 2 to approximately 27.0 mtpa.
Sempra proposes to file its formal application for the proposed expansion project in January 2020, approximately six months from the expected date of commencement of the pre-filing review process for the expansion project.
In that application, Sempra will request that the commission issue authorization for the siting, construction, and operation of the expansion project by no later than January 2021. Sempra anticipates requesting authorization to begin construction in March 2022.
