???? 據能源經濟3月18日消息稱，荷蘭儲油公司沃帕克希望在澳大利亞維多利亞州建造一個液化天然氣進口終端，與另外五個擬議項目競爭，以填補該國東南部日益顯現的天然氣供應缺口。

????沃帕克說，希望將一個浮式存儲和再氣化裝置?？吭谀珷柋靖浇姆评諡掣邸Ｔ摴鞠Ｍ?021年第三季度向維多利亞州政府提交一份提案。

????它的目標是在2024年之后首次進口天然氣，屆時市場預計將面臨天然氣短缺，因為長期滿足該州需求的老油田正在迅速枯竭。

????沃帕克澳大利亞董事總經理Fulco van Geuns在一份聲明中說：“我們希望在維多利亞地區面臨嚴重的天然氣短缺之前，該設施能夠投入使用?！?/p>

????沃帕克預計，該終端每年將能夠進口多達50批液化天然氣貨物，采用開放獲取模式為液化天然氣供應商和天然氣市場客戶提供服務。

????van Geuns在電子郵件中說：“根據澳大利亞東南部國內天然氣產量的下降情況，任何液化天然氣進口終端都將在短期內成為冬季需求的供應站?！?/p>

????該公司一直在與潛在客戶進行談判，但由于保密協議，沒有詳細說明。

????沃帕克選擇了維多利亞州，盡管該州還有兩個正在尋求批準的項目-一個由頂級能源零售商AGL Energy進行，另一個由Viva Energy進行，該公司在吉朗設有一個終端，距離沃帕克計劃的地點不遠。

????van Geuns說：“隨著國內天然氣的減少，以及目前昆士蘭國內天然氣供應來源的管道能力，沃帕克認為，將進口終端設在維多利亞州是最有意義的?！?/p>

????Vopak joins queue to build LNG import terminal in Australia

????Dutch oil storage company Vopak wants to build an LNG import terminal in Australia's Victoria state, vying with five other proposed projects to fill a looming gas supply gap in the country's southeast.

????Vopak said it wants to dock a floating storage and regasification unit (FSRU) in Port Phillip Bay near Melbourne. It hopes to submit a proposal to the Victoria state government in the third quarter of 2021.

????It aims to have first imports after 2024, when the market is expected to face a gas shortfall as the ageing fields that have long supplied the state's needs are rapidly drying up.

????"We would like to have the facility operational before Victoria is expected to be facing substantive gas shortages," Vopak Australia Managing Director Fulco van Geuns said in a statement.

????Vopak expects the terminal to be able to import up to 50 LNG cargoes annually, with an open access model providing services to LNG suppliers and gas market customers.

????"Expectations are that any LNG terminal would need to act as a peak shaver for winter demand in the near term, depending on the profile of decline of domestic gas production in southeast Australia," van Geuns said in emailed comments.

????The company has been in talks with potential customers, but did not elaborate due to confidentiality agreements.

????Vopak chose Victoria despite two other projects seeking approval in the state - one by top energy retailer AGL Energy and the other by Viva Energy which has a dock at Geelong, not far from Vopak's planned site.

????"With reducing domestic gas and the current pipeline capacity from Queensland domestic gas supply sources, Vopak believe that an import terminal makes most sense to be positioned in Victoria," van Geuns said.
