石油设备网讯 据路透社6月21日新加坡报道,据四名知情人士透露,孟加拉国已收到12家公司的兴趣,拟建造该国首个陆上液化天然气(LNG)进口码头。
这个拥有1.6亿多人口的南亚国家正转向陆基液化天然气接收站。由于天气和技术问题,该国首次通过浮动平台进口超冷燃料的计划被推迟。
Rupantarita Prakritik Gas Co是孟加拉国家石油天然气公司的一部分,今年早些时候曾向潜在的液化天然气再气化终端开发商发出意向书,要求他们在孟加拉国南部考克斯巴扎尔地区的Matarbari建设一座陆上液化天然气再气化终端。
鲁潘塔里塔天然气公司的两名管理人员说,已有12家公司提交了建造该码头的意向。
这些官员说,这些公司包括日本的三井物产、韩国公用事业公司KOGAS,以及由孟加拉国Summit Group子公司Summit Corp牵头的一个财团。
日本三菱是全球最大的液化天然气买家,也是峰会财团的少数股东。
一位知情人士表示,印度国家石油天然气公司和一家法国公司也提交了收购意向。这位没有透露这家法国公司名称的人士要求匿名,因为他没有获得与媒体对话的授权。
Summit拒绝置评,记者未能立即联系到韩国和日本企业置评。记者无法在办公时间之前联系到彼得罗内。
一位官员说,一个委员会将对这些提议进行评估,并根据这12家公司的能力和技术评估,创建一个入围名单。
这位官员说,可能需要一年多的时间来完成并授予该码头的合同。
最初的意向书应在3月20日提交,但在两家公司要求更多时间后,截止日期被推迟至本周。
该意向书的目的是设计、工程、采购、建造和调试一个陆上接收站,该接收站每年可处理750万吨液化天然气,包括接收、卸载、储存和再气化。
该项目以自营自建为基础,为期20年,所有权将免费转让给孟加拉国政府或政府指定的公司。

Bangladesh receives interest from 12 companies to build LNG terminal
Bangladesh has received interest from twelve companies to build the country's first onshore liquefied natural gas (LNG) import terminal, according to four sources familiar with the matter.
The South Asian country, which has a population of more than 160 million, is turning to land-based LNG terminals as its first imports of the super-chilled fuel via a floating platform were delayed due to weather and technical issues.
Rupantarita Prakritik Gas Co, part of state-owned oil and gas company Petrobangla, earlier this year had requested expressions of interest (EOI) from potential terminal developers for a land-based LNG regasification terminal at Matarbari in the Cox's Bazar district of southern Bangladesh.
Twelve companies have submitted their interest to build the terminal, said two officials from Rupantarita Prakritik Gas Co.
The companies include Japan's Mitsui, South Korean utility KOGAS, and a consortium led by Summit Corp, a unit of Bangladesh's Summit Group, the officials said.
Japan's Mitsubishi the world's largest LNG buyer, are minority stakeholders in the Summit consortium.
India's Petronet LNG and a French company have also submitted their interest, a person familiar with the matter said. The person, who didn't identify the French company by name, spoke on condition of anonymity as he was not authorised to speak with media.
Summit declined to comment, while the South Korean and Japanese companies were not immediately available for comment. Petronet could not be reached before office hours.
A committee will evaluate the proposals and create a shortlist based on the capabilities and technical assessments of the 12 companies, one of the officials said.
It could take more than a year to complete and award the contract for the terminal, the official said.
The expressions of interest were initially due on March 20, but the closing date was delayed to this week after the companies requested more time.
The expression of interest is for the design, engineering, procurement, construction and commissioning of an onshore terminal that can handle 7.5 million tonnes a year of LNG, including receiving, unloading, storage and regasification.
The project is on a build-own-operate basis for 20 years, with ownership to then be transferred at no cost to the Bangladeshi government or a company nominated by the government.
