據油氣新聞12月27日消息稱，殼牌俄羅斯分公司總裁Ekaterina Grushetskaya在接受塔斯社采訪時表示，由于擔心亞洲天然氣需求的增長潛力，跨國石油和天然氣公司殼牌準備考慮參與俄羅斯新的液化天然氣項目。

她說，俄羅斯擁有全球剩余天然氣儲量的19%，而液化天然氣產量僅占全球的8%。殼牌預計，到2040年，液化天然氣需求將達到每年7億噸左右，幾乎是2020年的兩倍。Grushetskaya補充說，75%的需求將集中在靠近俄羅斯原材料基地的亞洲。

殼牌駐俄羅斯負責人表示:“在這方面，我們希望參與遠東的此類項目，因為亞洲市場顯然需要這種能源。”他指出，該公司可能對該國的其他地區感興趣，不僅是遠東地區。

殼牌目前擁有俄羅斯第一個液化天然氣項目Sakhalin-2 27.5%的股份，該項目由殼牌與俄羅斯天然氣工業股份公司(50%加1股)、日本三井 (12.5%)和三菱 (10%)合作管理。

Shell interested in new LNG projects in Russia close to promising Asian market

Shell, the multinational oil and gas company, is ready to consider its participation in new LNG projects in Russia as the concern sees the growth potential of gas demand in Asia, Country Chair Shell Russia Ekaterina Grushetskaya said in an interview with TASS.

Russia has 19% of the remaining global gas reserves, meanwhile holding only 8% of the world’s production of liquified natural gas (LNG), she said. Shell expects the LNG demand to reach around 700 mln tonnes per year by 2040, which is almost twice as high as in 2020. That said, 75% of that demand will be focused in Asia, in close proximity to the Russian raw material base, Grushetskaya added.

“In this respect we would like to participate in such projects in the Far East since the Asian market obviously needs this energy source,” Shell’s head in Russia said, noting that the company might potentially be interested in other regions of the country, not only the Far East, as well.

Shell currently owns 27.5% in the first Russian LNG project Sakhalin-2, which it manages in a partnership with Gazprom (50% plus one share), as well as Japan’s Mitsui (12.5%) and Mitsubishi (10%).
