石油设备网讯 据普氏能源资讯达卡3月26日消息 孟加拉国的第二个LNG浮式储存和再气化装置将于4月20日抵达。此前，该国首个装置因技术问题和季风季节的汹涌海浪在吉大港南海岸搁置三个月。
国有企业Rupantarita Prakritik天然气公司董事总经理Md Quamruzzaman周一表示，由顶峰集团拥有的Excelerate FSRU年产375万吨，预计将装载来自卡塔尔天然气公司的调试货物抵达孟加拉湾的Moheshkahi岛。它将定位在该国第一艘FSRU附近，同样具有375万吨/年的生产能力。
此后，孟加拉国搁置了三个小型FSRU项目的计划，原因是该国主要港口管理局表示反对。
负责扩建孟加拉国天然气输送管道的国有企业天然气传输公司的一名高级官员表示，新的FSRU还面临更多限制，因为必要管道的建设尚未完成。
该官员称，目前的管道基础设施每天的产能只有65万立方英尺左右，相当于将近490万吨/年，而两艘FSRU的设计目标都是每天重新生产50万立方英尺/天，总计每年750万吨/年。
连接Moheshkhali和Anwara的90公里管道以及连接吉大港、Feni和Bakhrabad的181公里管道仍在建设中，预计在4月底完工。
尽管面临物流和商业方面的挑战，但在消费增长、国内储量不断减少以及LNG进口和管道分销基础设施不断扩张的支持下，孟加拉国将在未来几年成为一个关键的LNG进口国。
普氏预测，到2020年，孟加拉国的液化天然气需求将超过600万吨/年。

Bangladesh's second LNG FSRU due to arrive with Qatari cargo April 20
Bangladesh's second LNG floating storage and regasification unit is due to arrive April 20, a year after the country's first unit was left stranded off the south coast of Chittagong for three months because of technical issues and rough seas during the monsoon season.
The 3.75 million mt/year Summit Group-owned Excelerate FSRU is expected to arrive at Moheshkahi Island in the Bay of Bengal loaded with a commissioning cargo from QatarGas, said Md Quamruzzaman, managing director with state-owned Rupantarita Prakritik Gas Co. Ltd., on Monday.It will be positioned near the country's first FSRU, also with a capacity of 3.75 million mt/year.
Since then, Bangladesh has shelved plans for three small-scale FSRUs following objections from the country's main port authority.
More constraints lie ahead for the new FSRU, as the construction of the necessary pipelines is yet to be completed, said a senior official with Gas Transmission Company, a state-owned corporation responsible for expanding Bangladesh's gas distribution pipelines.
The current pipeline infrastructure only has capacity for around 650,000 Mcf/day, the equivalent of nearly 4.9 million mt/year, while both FSRUs are designed to regasify 500,000 Mcf/day each for a total of 7.5 million mt/year, the official said.
The 90-km pipeline connecting Moheshkhali to Anwara, and the 181-km pipeline connecting Chittagong, Feni and Bakhrabad are still construction, with an estimated completion date of end April.
Despite logistical and commercial challenges, Bangladesh is set to become a key LNG importer in the coming years, supported by growing consumption, dwindling domestic reserves and expanding LNG import and pipeline distribution infrastructure.
S&P Global Platts Analytics forecasts Bangladesh's LNG demand to exceed 6 million mt/year by 2020.
