Pilot LNG计划在休斯顿地区建造LNG港口

领航液化天然气有限责任公司(Pilot LNG LLC)周四报告称，该公司已向监管机构提交了拟议中的加尔维斯顿(Galveston)液化天然气燃料港项目的申请。

领航液化天然气公司在发给钻井网的一份书面声明中指出，该设施将以一个浮动液化工厂为特色，并向休斯顿、得克萨斯和加尔维斯顿港口的船舶提供液化天然气船用燃料。该公司提议在加尔维斯顿和得克萨斯城之间的鹈鹕岛上开发这个天然气终端。

领航液化天然气公司(Pilot LNG)的加尔维斯顿液化天然气燃料港(Galveston LNG Bunker Port)将向美国一家公司提供清洁燃烧的液化天然气领航液化天然气首席执行官乔纳森?库克(Jonathan Cook)表示。“拟议中的加尔维斯顿液化天然气燃料港，将为供应日益增长的液化天然气海运燃料市场提供必要的基础设施，大幅减少海运排放，同时降低货主的燃料成本。”

根据领航液化天然气的网站，该设施的浮动天然气液化和存储单元将拥有每年50万吨(6600万标准立方英尺/天)的液化能力和18000立方英尺的存储能力。该公司补充说，Wison Offshore & Marine将设计和建造漂浮液化天然气(FLNG)设施。

Wison Offshore & Marine公司北美地区负责人Vivian Li表示:“Wison很高兴能够参与美国这一突破性项目的设计和建造液化装置，为加尔维斯顿、休斯顿和得克萨斯城港口的终端用户市场供应液化天然气。”自从在阿根廷交付了世界上第一个FLNG设备以来，Wison已经开发了许多跨越液化天然气价值链的浮动解决方案，专注于促进清洁能源基础设施替代全球市场。”

领航液化天然气公司指出，预计将于2021年下半年对液化天然气燃料补给项目做出最终投资决定，预计将于2024年开始运营。

LNG Port Proposed for Houston Area

Pilot LNG LLC has filed regulatory applications for its proposed Galveston LNG Bunker Port project, the company reported Thursday.

The facility would feature a floating liquefaction plant and provide LNG marine fuel to vessels to the Texas ports of Houston, Texas City and Galveston, Pilot LNG noted in a written statement emailed to Rigzone. The company has proposed developing the terminal on Pelican Island, between Galveston and Texas City.

“Pilot LNG’s Galveston LNG Bunker Port will provide clean-burning LNG to one of the U.S.’s largest port complexes,” remarked Jonathan Cook, Pilot LNG’s chief executive. “The proposed Galveston LNG Bunker Port would provide the necessary infrastructure to supply the growing market for LNG marine fuel, substantially reducing marine emissions and cutting shippers’ fuel costs at the same time.”

According to Pilot LNG’s website, the facility’s floating gas liquefaction and storage unit would boast a nameplate liquefaction capacity of 0.5 million tons per annum (66 million standard cubic feet per day) and 18,000 cubic feet of storage capacity. Wison Offshore & Marine will engineer and construct the floating LNG (FLNG) facility, the company added.

“Wison is pleased to be part of this breakthrough U.S. project by designing and building the liquefaction unit that will supply LNG to the end-user market in the Galveston, Houston and Texas City port complex,” commented Vivian Li, head of Wison Offshore & Marine in North America. “Since delivering the world’s first FLNG facility currently operating in Argentina, Wison has developed numerous floating solutions across the LNG value chain, with a focus on promoting a cleaner energy infrastructure alternative to the global market.”

Pilot LNG noted that it expects a final investment decision on the LNG bunkering project in the second half of 2021, with operations projected to start in 2024. The firm stated the U.S.
