據油氣新聞網9月27日報道，菲律賓一位高級能源官員表示，菲律賓政府批準的三個液化天然氣進口終端項目預計將于2023年初開始商業運營，這標志著該國液化天然氣產業的誕生。

該國能源部天然氣管理部門負責人Laura Saguin表示，這些項目是總部位于新加坡的大西洋、海灣和太平洋（AG&P）、First Gen和澳大利亞上市的能源世界公司（Energy World）的項目。

這三個終端是該國能源部批準的六個此類項目中的三個。另外三個項目預計將在未來三年內投產，其中包括殼牌擬議的一個項目。

菲律賓將需要進口液化天然氣來為總裝發電量超過3000兆瓦的燃氣發電廠提供燃料，因為其位于南海的馬拉帕亞氣田的產量預計將在今年開始下降，到2027年將枯竭。

Saguin在投資峰會上表示，原定于今年7月投產的AG&P項目，預計將于2023年第一季度開始運營。

AG&P液化天然氣碼頭和物流總裁Karthik Sathyamoorthy在峰會期間告訴路透社稱，在疫情期間，公司遇到了一些供應鏈挑戰，（但現在）正在與多個供應商合作。

AG&P將根據短期和長期供應協議從中東和澳大利亞采購液化天然氣，但他拒絕透露具體數量。

AG&P的終端將具有500萬噸年產能，為位于八打雁省的1200兆瓦的Ilijan電廠提供燃料。

運營數家燃氣發電廠的First Gen也將八打雁終端的投產時間從今年10月推遲到明年3月。

已經建造了一座650兆瓦的發電廠作為一個固定市場的能源世界公司，計劃到2023年第一季度運營其位于奎松省的年產能300萬噸的終端。

Philippines to start 3 LNG terminals next year

Three government-approved LNG import terminal projects in the Philippines are expected to begin commercial operations in early 2023, marking the birth of the country's liquefied natural gas industry, a senior energy official said.

The projects are those of Singapore-based Atlantic, Gulf and Pacific (AG&P), First Gen, and Australia-listed Energy World, said Laura Saguin, head of the Department of Energy's (DOE) natural gas management division.

The three terminals are among six such projects that the DOE has approved. Three others are expected to come online within the next three years, including a project proposed by Shell.

The Philippines will need to import LNG to fuel gas-fired power plants with a combined capacity of more than 3,000 megawatts, as output from its Malampaya gas field in the South Sea is expected to start declining this year and to be depleted by 2027.

AG&P's project, previously scheduled for commissioning in July this year, is slated to begin operation in the first quarter of 2023, Saguin said at an investment summit.

"We had some supply chain challenges during the COVID period, (but now) we are working with multiple suppliers," Karthik Sathyamoorthy, president of AG&P LNG Terminals and Logistics, told Reuters on the sidelines of the summit.

AG&P will source LNG from the Middle East and Australia under short- and long-term supply agreements, though he declined to specify volumes.

AG&P's terminal will have a 5 million tonnes per annum (MPTA) capacity and fuel the existing 1,200-MW Ilijan power plant in Batangas province.

First Gen, which operates several gas-fired plants, has also delayed its Batangas terminal launch to next March from October this year.

Energy World, which has built a 650 MW power plant as an anchor market, aims to operate its 3 MTPA terminal in Quezon province by the first quarter of 2023.
