據管道&天然氣雜志網6月21日報道，巴西國家石油公司巴西國油（Petroleo Brasileiro SA）周一表示，該公司取消了總部位于美國的加速能源公司(Excelate Energy LP)在巴伊亞州東北部租用一個液化天然氣終端的競標資格。

　　巴國油在其網站上的一份聲明中表示，其取消了Excelerate的資格，因為它沒有遵守租賃巴伊亞液化天然氣再氣化終端(TR-BA)的招標規則。巴西國家石油公司沒有詳細說明違反了哪些規定。

　　Excelerate是唯一一家競標這份租約的公司，其提出每月支付約300萬雷亞爾(約合597,729美元)，為期30個月，總計9210萬雷亞爾。該液化天然氣公司必須在6月28日前對這一決定提出上訴。

　　這是巴西國家石油公司第二次試圖出售租約，之前的投標中唯一的投標者也被取消了資格。

　　Excelerate沒有立即回應置評請求。

　　Brazil's Petrobras Disqualifies Excelerate Energy's Bid on LNG Lease

　　Brazil's state-run oil company Petroleo Brasileiro SA said on Monday that it had disqualified U.S.-based Excelerate Energy LP's bid on a lease for an LNG terminal in northeastern Bahia state.

　　Petrobras, as the company is commonly known, said in a statement on its website that it had disqualified Excelerate for not complying with the rules of the tender to lease the LNG Regassification Terminal of Bahia (TR-BA). Petrobras did not give details on which rules were violated.

　　Excelerate, the only company to bid on the lease, offered to pay roughly 3 million reais ($597,729) per month for 30 months, or a total of 92.1 million reais. The LNG company has until June 28 to appeal the decision.

　　This is the second time Petrobras has attempted to sell the lease, having also disqualified the only bidder in the previous tender.

　　Excelerate did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
