中國(guó)石化新聞網(wǎng)訊 據(jù)路透社6月29日開羅報(bào)道,埃及天然氣控股公司(EGAS)的一名消息人士29日在開羅表示,埃及預(yù)計(jì)一個(gè)LNG出口終端將延遲交付。這個(gè)LNG進(jìn)口終端或?qū)椭<翱箵艚陙碜顕?yán)重的能源危機(jī)。
埃及能夠出口LNG,但由于沒有安裝LNG進(jìn)口終端,埃及不能進(jìn)口LNG。日益惡化的天然氣供應(yīng)短缺頻頻造成拉閘限電,使得人們無法開啟空調(diào)來應(yīng)對(duì)酷暑。
埃及石油部和挪威Hoegh液化天然氣公司5月份曾表示,他們已同意埃及使用Hoegh公司的一個(gè)浮式儲(chǔ)存和再氣化裝置(FSRU)5年,這個(gè)終端將在今年9月前到位。
一位直接熟悉此事的消息人士通過電話對(duì)路透社說:“我們迄今還沒有與Hoegh公司達(dá)成一項(xiàng)最后協(xié)議。這個(gè)終端將不會(huì)如以前宣布的9月份抵達(dá)埃及,它將在10月或11月到位。”

Egypt's EGAS expects delay in gas import terminal
CAIRO, June 29 (Reuters) - Egypt expects a delay in the delivery of an import terminal for liquefied natural gas (LNG), a plant that is expected to help it combat the worst energy crisis in years, a source at Egyptian Natural Gas Holding Company (EGAS) said on Sunday.
Egypt can export LNG but cannot import it without installing the terminal. Meanwhile, its worsening gas shortage has caused power cuts that are becoming more acute as people switch on air conditioning units against the sweltering summer heat.
Egypt's oil ministry and Norway's Hoegh LNG said in May they had agreed for Egypt to use one of Hoegh's Floating Storage and Regasification Units (FSRU) for five years and that the terminal would be in place by September.
