石油设备网讯 据世界天然气网站7月9日消息 伦敦证券交易所上市的基础设施公司InfraStrata专注于天然气储存能力的开发,已与Meridian Holdings就英国的浮式储存再气化(FSRU)项目签订了独家经营协议。
该FSRU项目涉及在英格兰西北部坎布里亚的弗内斯开发一个浮式液化天然气接收站。
该项目旨在通过其自己的国家输气系统(NTS)互联,将天然气的再气化量直接输送至英国市场。
英国天然气供应的约30%预计将来将来自液化天然气。InfraStrata主管认为天然气市场提供了一个强大的经济信号以推动设施的发展,如FSRU项目。
该公司表示,该项目目前被认为是英国同类项目中的第一个。
声明称,该项目预计年产能约为500万吨,这不仅将增加英国的天然气供应安全,而且将有助于在需求高峰日平衡天然气网络。
该项目目前已获得巴罗区对其海上部分的规划许可,目前正在进行详细审查。

InfraStrata looking into developing UK FSRU project
The London Stock Exchange-listed InfraStrata, a company focused on the development of natural gas storage capacity, has entered into an exclusivity agreement with Meridian Holdings for an FSRU project in the United Kingdom.
The FSRU project involves developing a floating LNG receiving port offshore Barrow-in-Furness, Cumbria in northwest England.
The project is designed to deliver re-gasified volumes of natural gas directly into the UK market via its own National Transmission System (NTS) interconnection at Barrow-in-Furness.
With approximately 30 percent of the UK’s gas supply expected to come from LNG in the future, the directors of InfraStrata believe the gas markets are providing a strong economic signal to pursue the development of facilities such as this FSRU project.
The company said the project is currently understood to be the first of its kind in the UK.
At a projected capacity of approximately 5 million tonnes per annum, it will not only add to the UK’s security of gas supply but will also help balance the gas network on peak demand days, the statement reads.
The project currently has planning permission and consenting issued by the Borough of Barrow-in-Furness for its offshore segment, a detailed review of which the company is currently undertaking.
