巴西国油预计扩大里约LNG终端进口能力

据管道新闻网9月18日消息称，巴西国家石油公司周四表示，该公司已成功完成测试，将把其位于里约热内卢的液化天然气(LNG)进口终端的产能提高50%，达到每天3000万立方米。

巴西国家石油公司表示正在获得政府许可，以扩大该终端的进口能力。

巴西正在扩大其液化天然气设施，以利用较低的国际价格。

巴西国家石油公司完成的测试是里约热内卢环境机构Inea和巴西国家石油监管机构ANP要求的一部分。巴西国家石油公司没有具体说明何时结束许可程序。

该公司位于里约热内卢的瓜纳巴拉湾终端目前通过一个浮动储存和再气化装置(FSRU)每天可处理2000万立方米的天然气。

该公司称，该码头由一个岛式码头和两个泊位组成，用于停泊一艘FSRU船和一艘补给船。

Petrobras on Track to Expand Rio LNG Import Capacity

Brazil's Petrobras has successfully concluded tests that will allow for a 50% capacity expansion at its Rio de Janeiro liquefied natural gas (LNG) import terminal to 30 million cubic meters per day, the company said on Thursday.

Petroleo Brasileiro SA, as the company is formally known, said it is in the process of obtaining government permits to expand the terminal’s capacity.

Brazil is expanding its LNG facilities to take advantage of low international prices.

The tests completed by Petrobras were part of the requirements by Rio’s environmental agency Inea and by Brazil’s national oil regulator ANP. Petrobras has not specified the timing for conclusion of the licensing process.

The company’s Guanabara bay terminal in Rio de Janeiro currently has capacity to process 20 million cubic meters of gas per day through a floating storage and regasification unit (FSRU).

The terminal consists of an island type pier with two berths for mooring and anchoring an FSRU vessel and a supply vessel, the company said.
