据液化天然气工业4月18日消息，道达尔能源公司已与Sempra Infrastructure、三井公司和日本液化天然气投资公司签署了一份扩大卡梅伦液化天然气生产和出口设施的协议，该公司由日本三菱商事和日本株式会社公司共同拥有。

该扩建项目包括开发产能为675万吨/年的第四列火车，并通过消除瓶颈将目前1350万吨/年的前三列火车提高5%。它还将包括旨在减少设施排放的设计改进，包括电力驱动技术。根据HOA条款，道达尔能源将承担预计第四列火车产能的16.6%，以及预计消除瓶颈产能的25%。此外，鉴于工程、采购和施工(EPC)承包商的选择，卡梅伦液化天然气通过选择两个承包商来进行具有竞争力的前端工程设计(FEED)，从而推进该项目的开发。

道达尔能源董事长兼首席执行官Patrick Pouyanné说：“我们很高兴与我们的合作伙伴一起迈出新的一步，以提高卡梅伦液化天然气的液化能力，这是一个位于大西洋盆地的理想设施，用于出口到欧洲。近年来，道达尔能源已成为美国液化天然气的主要出口商，其中大部分已出口到欧洲，为非洲大陆的能源供应安全作出了贡献。道达尔能源致力于进一步扩大其在美国的业务，从而满足对液化天然气日益增长的需求。卡梅伦液化天然气的扩张将通过投资于低成本、具有长期竞争力且温室气体排放量较低的液化天然气项目，为我们的液化天然气增长战略作出贡献。”

卡梅伦液化天然气扩建项目的开发仍需达成最终协议，获得必要的许可，所有合作伙伴都将在2023年达成最终投资决定。

卡梅伦液化天然气由Sempra Infrastructure (50.2%)、道达尔能源(16.6%)、三井物产(16.6%)和日本液化天然气投资公司(16.6%)共同拥有。

TotalEnergies signs Cameron LNG expansion agreement

TotalEnergies has signed a heads of agreement (HOA) with Sempra Infrastructure, Mitsui & Co. Ltd, and Japan LNG Investment – a company jointly owned by Mitsubishi Corporation and Nippon Yusen Kabushiki Kaisha (NYK) – for the expansion of Cameron LNG, an LNG production and export facility located in Louisiana, US.

This expansion project includes the development of a fourth train with a production capacity of 6.75 million tpy, and a 5% increase of the current 13.5 million tpy first three trains through debottlenecking. It will also include design enhancements aiming at reducing the emissions of the facility, including electric drive technology. Under the terms of the HOA, TotalEnergies will offtake 16.6% of the projected fourth train’s production capacity, and 25% of the projected debottlenecked capacity. Additionally, Cameron LNG advances the development of this project with the selection of two contractors to conduct a competitive front-end engineering design (FEED) in view of the selection of the engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contractor.

“We are pleased to take this new step with our partners to increase liquefaction capacity at Cameron LNG, a facility ideally located on the Atlantic basin for export to Europe. In recent years, TotalEnergies has become a leading exporter of US LNG, most of which has been exported to Europe in recent times, contributing to the continent’s security of energy supply. TotalEnergies is committed to further expanding its presence in the US, thus meeting growing need for LNG, a key transition fuel” said Patrick Pouyanné, Chairman & CEO of TotalEnergies. “The expansion of Cameron LNG will contribute to our LNG growth strategy by investing in low-cost, long-term competitive LNG projects with lower GHG emissions.”

Development of the Cameron LNG expansion project remains subject to definitive agreements, obtaining the necessary permits, and all partners reaching a final investment decision planned for 2023.

Cameron LNG is jointly owned by Sempra Infrastructure (50.2%), TotalEnergies (16.6%), Mitsui & Co. Ltd (16.6%), and Japan LNG Investment (16.6%).
