據液化天然氣工業4月18日消息，道達爾能源公司已與Sempra Infrastructure、三井公司和日本液化天然氣投資公司簽署了一份擴大卡梅倫液化天然氣生產和出口設施的協議，該公司由日本三菱商事和日本株式會社公司共同擁有。

該擴建項目包括開發產能為675萬噸/年的第四列火車，并通過消除瓶頸將目前1350萬噸/年的前三列火車提高5%。它還將包括旨在減少設施排放的設計改進，包括電力驅動技術。根據HOA條款，道達爾能源將承擔預計第四列火車產能的16.6%，以及預計消除瓶頸產能的25%。此外，鑒于工程、采購和施工(EPC)承包商的選擇，卡梅倫液化天然氣通過選擇兩個承包商來進行具有競爭力的前端工程設計(FEED)，從而推進該項目的開發。

道達爾能源董事長兼首席執行官Patrick Pouyanné說：“我們很高興與我們的合作伙伴一起邁出新的一步，以提高卡梅倫液化天然氣的液化能力，這是一個位于大西洋盆地的理想設施，用于出口到歐洲。近年來，道達爾能源已成為美國液化天然氣的主要出口商，其中大部分已出口到歐洲，為非洲大陸的能源供應安全作出了貢獻。道達爾能源致力于進一步擴大其在美國的業務，從而滿足對液化天然氣日益增長的需求?？穫愐夯烊粴獾臄U張將通過投資于低成本、具有長期競爭力且溫室氣體排放量較低的液化天然氣項目，為我們的液化天然氣增長戰略作出貢獻?！?/p>

卡梅倫液化天然氣擴建項目的開發仍需達成最終協議，獲得必要的許可，所有合作伙伴都將在2023年達成最終投資決定。

卡梅倫液化天然氣由Sempra Infrastructure (50.2%)、道達爾能源(16.6%)、三井物產(16.6%)和日本液化天然氣投資公司(16.6%)共同擁有。

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%).
