诺瓦泰克公布二季度天然气产销量均下降

据7月13日Offshore Energy消息：俄罗斯最大的独立天然气和液化天然气生产商诺瓦泰克报告称，今年二季度产量和销量双双下滑。

该公司周一表示，其天然气产量同比下降2.2%，降至185亿立方米。

这家俄罗斯公司1月至3月的碳氢化合物总产量下降2.5％，至1.453亿桶油当量。

此外，包括液化天然气在内的天然气销量在本季度下降9.9%，至16.9亿立方米。

诺瓦泰克称其在国际市场上销售了24.7亿立方米液化天然气，与去年同期相比下降32.3%。

该公司将产量下降归因于其位于俄罗斯北极地区的亚马尔液化天然气出口终端的现货市场销量下降。

这一下降是“由于亚马尔液化天然气公司股东(包括诺瓦泰克公司)在现货市场销售的液化天然气数量中所占份额下降，而根据长期合同直接销售的亚马尔液化天然气数量相应增加”。

诺瓦泰克17.4万吨的亚马尔液化天然气出口工厂包括3列5.5万吨的液化天然气生产线和一条年产能90万吨的生产线。

第一条于2017年四季度投产，第二条和第三条分别于2018年7月和11月投产。

这家俄罗斯天然气生产商计划，到2030年，其液化天然气总产能将达到最高70万吨/天，并且已经安排一些新的开发项目。其中包括该公司的第二个北极液化天然气项目，产能为6.6万吨/立方米。

诺瓦泰克最近表示，该项目已完成约19%，预计将在2023年推出首列液化天然气生产线。

Novatek posts lower quarterly production, sales

Russia’s largest independent natural gas and LNG producer Novatek reported a decline in both production and sales in thesecond quarter of this year.

Novatek said Monday its natural gas production declined by 2.2 percent year-on-year to 18.5 billion cubic metres.

The Russian company’s total production of hydrocarbons in January-March fell 2.5 percent to 145.3 million barrels of oilequivalent.

Furthermore, natural gas sales volumes, including LNG, declined 9.9 percent in the quarter to 16.9 bcm.

Novatek said it sold 2.47 bcm of LNG on international markets, a drop of 32.3 percent when compared to the second quarterlast year.

The company attributed the decline to lower spot market sales from its Yamal LNG export terminal in the Russian Arctic.

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

Novatek’s 17.4 mtpa Yamal LNG export plant includes three LNG trains of 5.5 mtpa each and one train with a capacity of900,000 tons per year.

The first LNG train began production in the fourth quarter of 2017, while trains 2 and 3 were launched in July 2018 andNovember 2018, respectively.

The Russian producer plans to reach a total of up to 70 mtpa of LNG production capacity by 2030 and has lined up severalnew developments.

These include the company’s second Arctic LNG project with a 6.6 mtpa capacity.

Novatek recently said the project was about 19 percent complete and expects to launch the first LNG train in 2023.
