诺瓦泰克一季度天然气产量上升

据离岸能源4月10日消息，俄罗斯最大的独立天然气生产商诺瓦泰克(Novatek)在今年第一季度提高了产量，而该公司的销售额却出现下降。

诺瓦泰克公司周四表示，天然气产量同比增长2.2%，达到191亿立方米。

这家俄罗斯公司1月至3月期间的石油和天然气凝析油产量增加了2%，至305万吨。

包括液化天然气在内的天然气初步销售总量为206.9亿立方米，同比下降6.8%。

诺瓦泰克在国际市场上销售了24.5亿立方米的液化天然气。

诺瓦泰克表示，销量下降的原因是“包括诺瓦泰克在内的亚马尔液化天然气股东在现货市场上出售液化天然气的份额减少，而亚马尔液化天然气长期合同的直接销售相应增加”。

该公司补充称，截至今年3月31日，诺瓦泰克有3亿立方米天然气(包括液化天然气)、62万吨稳定凝析油和石油产品在储存或运输中，并被确认为库存。

Novatek’s Q1 gas production up, LNG sales down

Russia’s largest independent natural gas producer Novatek boosted its production in the first quarter of this year while the company’s sales decreased.

Novatek said Thursday that natural gas production rose by 2.2 percent year on year to 19.1 billion cubic metres.

The Russian company’s production of oil and gas condensate increased in the January – March period by 2 per cent to 3.05 million tonnes.

Preliminary natural gas sales volumes, including liquefied natural gas volumes, totaled 20.69 billion cubic meters, logging a decline of 6.8 per cent year-on-year.

Novatek sold 2.45 billion cubic meters of LNG volumes on international markets.

Novatek said the decline was due to the “decrease of Yamal LNG shareholders’ share, including Novatek’s share, of LNG sales on the spot market, and a corresponding increase of Yamal LNG direct sales under long-term contracts”.

As at 31 March this year, Novatek had 0.3 billion cubic meters of natural gas, including LNG, and 620 thousand tons of stable gas condensate and petroleum products in storage or transit and recognized as inventory, it added.
