據天然氣資訊8月11日消息稱，新堡壘能源公司(NFE) 宣布已與 Unigel Participa??es (Unigel) 的子公司簽署了兩份天然氣供應協議 (GSA)，分別向位于巴西巴伊亞州和塞爾吉佩州Unigel Agro-BA 和 Unigel Agro-SE 化肥廠供應天然氣。這些協議還包括為Unigel在巴西巴伊亞州坎代亞斯的化工設施提供供應的選項權。

　　總的來說，NFE 預計從2022年第一季度開始的五年期限內，每年將為 Unigel 供應高達 41 萬億英熱單位的天然氣（相當于約 140 萬加侖/天的液化天然氣）。

　　NFE董事長兼首席執行官Wes Edens表示:“我們很高興成為Unigel的戰略天然氣供應合作伙伴，Unigel是巴西最重要的工業公司之一。這一合作關系證明了我們的液化天然氣進口終端將為巴西客戶提供的價值，因為我們為整個巴西帶來了負擔得起的、可靠的能源供應和支持行業。”

　　NFE 董事總經理 Andrew Dete 補充說：“NFE 很自豪能與 Unigel 合作，支持巴西東北部的國內肥料生產。這些協議很好地體現了NFE與巴西領先工業客戶合作提供可靠能源供應的使命。”

　　NFE位于巴西東北部具有戰略意義的Suape和Sergipe液化天然氣終端提供的天然氣，將把Unigel的業務與全球液化天然氣和天然氣市場連接起來，并顯著降低管道運輸費用。

　　Unigel首席執行官Roberto Noronha Santos表示:“我們相信，與NFE的五年協議將為我們的工廠提供更可靠、穩定的長期運營，這是提高我們的競爭力和鞏固我們在巴西的商業存在的關鍵。”

　　Unigel公司的化肥廠總尿素產量超過3000噸/天。

　　New Fortress Energy and Unigel sign gas supply

　　New Fortress Energy Inc. (NFE) has announced that it has executed two gas supply agreements (GSA) with subsidiaries of Unigel Participa??es (Unigel) to supply natural gas to the Unigel Agro-BA and Unigel Agro-SE fertilizer plants located in the Brazilian states of Bahia and Sergipe, respectively. The agreements also include an option to supply Unigel’s chemicals facility in Candeias, state of Bahia, Brazil.

　　In total, NFE expects to supply Unigel with up to 41 trillion Btu of natural gas annually (equivalent to approximately 1.4 million gal./d of LNG) for a five-year term beginning in 1Q22.

　　“We are excited to become the strategic gas supply partner of Unigel, one of the premier industrial companies in Brazil,” said Wes Edens, Chairman and CEO of NFE. “This partnership demonstrates the value our LNG import terminals will provide to customers in Brazil as we bring affordable, reliable energy supply and support industry throughout Brazil.”

　　Andrew Dete, Managing Director at NFE added, “NFE is proud to partner with Unigel to support domestic fertilizer production in Northeast Brazil. These agreements are great examples of NFE’s mission to partner with leading industrial customers in Brazil to provide reliable energy supply.”

　　The supply of gas from NFE’s strategically-located Suape and Sergipe LNG terminals in Brazil’s northeast will connect Unigel’s operations to the global LNG and natural gas markets as well as significantly reduce pipeline transportation charges.

　　“We believe that this five-year term agreement with NFE will provide a more reliable, stable operation for our plants in the long run, which is key to improve our competitiveness and solidify our commercial presence in Brazil,” said Roberto Noronha Santos, CEO of Unigel.

　　Unigel’s Fertilizer Plants are capable of producing over 3000 tpd of urea in total.
