埃尼、中石油参与巴基斯坦10年的液化天然气供应招标

据今日油价网7月19日消息，路透社周五援引两名知情人士的话报导称，意大利埃尼、中石油旗下单位和两家大宗商品交易商已参与巴基斯坦10年的液化天然气供应招标，预计价值高达60亿美元。

巴基斯坦液化天然气有限公司签发的投标书是一份为期十年的主购销协议，根据该协议，卖方将每月向巴基斯坦供应两批240船液化天然气船货。

提交投标的截止日期已于周四到期，巴基斯坦已经开始提供技术信息。巴基斯坦液化天然气计划于8月16日宣布中标者。巴基斯坦计划在2019年9月至2020年3月之间接收该合同项下的首批两船货物。

据路透社消息人士称，此次招标的竞标者包括意大利石油天然气巨头埃尼集团、中石油、大宗商品交易巨头托克以及阿塞拜疆国家石油公司的交易部门。

巴基斯坦液化天然气公司周五在推特上表示：“我们向巴基斯坦招标的长期液化天然气供应的技术投标已于昨日收到并开放。 评估正在进行中。 在过去的现货供应方面，我们在隔天即开通商业报价，但长期招标的时间安排略有不同。”

卡塔尔目前是巴基斯坦最大的液化天然气供应国，预计未来几年，中国和泰国将与卡塔尔一起，成为全球和亚洲液化天然气需求增长的主要推动力。截至2016年，巴基斯坦与卡塔尔签署了一份为期15年的液化天然气供应协议。该南亚国家还与大宗商品交易商贡沃尔签署了一项为期5年的协议，并与埃尼签署了一份为期15年的液化天然气进口合同。

彭博社在5月份发布的最新液化天然气展望报告中表示，未来5年，全球液化天然气市场可能会经历一段疯狂时期，供需之间会出现大幅波动，并指出泰国和巴基斯坦将从2022年起成为“液化天然气需求增长的重要引擎”。

Eni, PetroChina, Trading Houses Bid In $6Bn Pakistan LNG Tender

Italy’s Eni, a unit of PetroChina, and two commodity traders have bid in Pakistan’s huge tender for supply of liquefied natural gas (LNG) for ten years estimated to be worth up to US$6 billion, Reuters reported on Friday, quoting two sources with knowledge of the matter.

The tender issued by Pakistan LNG Limited is for a master sale and purchase agreement (MSPA) for a period of ten years, under which the seller will supply 240 cargoes of LNG to Pakistan, two each month.

The deadline for submission of bids expired on Thursday and Pakistan has already opened the bids with technical information. Pakistan LNG is scheduled to announce the awarding of the tender on August 16. Pakistan aims to receive the first two cargoes under the tender between September 2019 and March 2020.

According to Reuters’s sources, the bidders in the tender were Italy’s oil and gas major Eni, PetroChina International Singapore, commodity trading giant Trafigura, and the trading unit of Azerbaijan’s state-held oil firm SOCAR.

“Technical bids for our long term LNG supply to Pakistan tender were received and opened yesterday. Evaluations are underway. In the past for spot cargoes we open commercial offers on the next day but the timelines are slightly different for long term tender,” Pakistan LNG said on Twitter on Friday.

Qatar is currently the largest LNG supplier to Pakistan, which is expected to be one of the key drivers of global and Asian LNG demand growth in the coming years, alongside China and Thailand. Pakistan has a 15-year LNG supply deal with Qatar as of 2016. The South Asian country also has a five-year agreement with commodity trader Gunvor and a 15-year contract to import LNG delivered by Eni.

The global LNG market could be in for a wild ride in the next five years with major swings between demand and supply excess, BloombergNEF said in its latest LNG outlook in May, noting that Thailand and Pakistan would become “important engines of LNG demand growth” from 2022 onwards.
