據(jù)油價(jià)網(wǎng)7月7日報(bào)道，美國能源部發(fā)布了一項(xiàng)最終的長期命令，授權(quán)從俄勒岡州的一個出口液化天然氣項(xiàng)目，他們預(yù)計(jì)這將有助于美國向增長最快的進(jìn)口市場亞洲銷售天然氣。

美國能源部批準(zhǔn)從擬議中的位于俄勒岡州Coos灣的Jordan Cove液化天然氣終端每天出口高達(dá)10.8億立方英尺的天然氣，該終端為加拿大Pembina管道公司所有。

美國能源部長布羅列特(Dan Brouilette)在一份聲明中表示，今天向Jordan Cove的發(fā)布有助于進(jìn)一步擴(kuò)大美國液化天然氣在海外的機(jī)會，特別是在不斷增長的亞洲市場，為我們在世界各地的盟友提供可靠、負(fù)擔(dān)得起和清潔的天然氣。

Pembina表示，預(yù)計(jì)將于2025年投產(chǎn)的Jordan Cove液化天然氣項(xiàng)目，將在建筑業(yè)高峰期創(chuàng)造6000個就業(yè)崗位，預(yù)計(jì)還將在酒店業(yè)、零售業(yè)、旅游業(yè)和醫(yī)療保健等行業(yè)創(chuàng)造8500個就業(yè)崗位。

但是，該項(xiàng)目繼續(xù)面臨反對，包括來自公民組織，俄勒岡州立法者和俄勒岡州的反對，而俄勒岡州尚未為該項(xiàng)目簽發(fā)重要許可證。

如果Jordan Cove LNG項(xiàng)目獲得俄勒岡州的許可，其將成為美國從太平洋海岸向亞洲最大的液化天然氣進(jìn)口國——日本和韓國——出口液化天然氣的關(guān)鍵項(xiàng)目。

今年早些時(shí)候，美國聯(lián)邦能源管理委員會(FERC)批準(zhǔn)了阿拉斯加液化天然氣項(xiàng)目的建設(shè)和運(yùn)營，該項(xiàng)目預(yù)計(jì)耗資430億美元。該項(xiàng)目已籌劃多年，但仍未得到投資者的承諾。

U.S. Approves Oregon LNG Project That Could Boost Supply To Asia

The U.S. Department of Energy issued a final long-term order to authorize exports of liquefied natural gas (LNG) from a project in Oregon that they expect will help the U.S. sell gas to the fastest-growing import market, Asia.

The U.S. Department of Energy authorized exports of up to 1.08 billion cubic feet per day of natural gas from the proposed Jordan Cove LNG Terminal in Coos Bay, Oregon, owned by Canada’s Pembina Pipeline Corporation.

“Today’s issuance to Jordan Cove serves to further expand opportunities for U.S. LNG abroad, particularly in the growing markets of Asia, providing reliable, affordable, and cleaner-burning natural gas to our allies around the world,” U.S. Secretary of Energy Dan Brouillette said in a statement.

Jordan Cove LNG, expected to come online in 2025, is poised to create 6,000 jobs during peak construction and an estimated 8,500 spin-off jobs in sectors like hospitality, retail, tourism, and healthcare, Pembina says.

The project, however, continues to face opposition, including from citizen organizations, Oregon lawmakers, and the state of Oregon, which has yet to issue vital permits for the project.

Jordan Cove is the latest LNG project to receive authorization from the U.S. Administration as several LNG export projects were approved and started operations over the past few years.

If Jordan Cove LNG obtains Oregon state permits, it could become a key export project for U.S. LNG from the Pacific Coast to the largest LNG importers in the world in Asia—Japan, and South Korea.

Earlier this year, the U.S. Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) approved the construction and operation of the Alaska LNG project estimated at US$43 billion, which has been years in the planning but still lacks investor commitments for its completion.
