據管道新聞網9月18日消息稱，巴西國家石油公司周四表示，該公司已成功完成測試，將把其位于里約熱內盧的液化天然氣(LNG)進口終端的產能提高50%，達到每天3000萬立方米。

巴西國家石油公司表示正在獲得政府許可，以擴大該終端的進口能力。

巴西正在擴大其液化天然氣設施，以利用較低的國際價格。

巴西國家石油公司完成的測試是里約熱內盧環境機構Inea和巴西國家石油監管機構ANP要求的一部分。巴西國家石油公司沒有具體說明何時結束許可程序。

該公司位于里約熱內盧的瓜納巴拉灣終端目前通過一個浮動儲存和再氣化裝置(FSRU)每天可處理2000萬立方米的天然氣。

該公司稱，該碼頭由一個島式碼頭和兩個泊位組成，用于停泊一艘FSRU船和一艘補給船。

Petrobras on Track to Expand Rio LNG Import Capacity

Brazil's Petrobras has successfully concluded tests that will allow for a 50% capacity expansion at its Rio de Janeiro liquefied natural gas (LNG) import terminal to 30 million cubic meters per day, the company said on Thursday.

Petroleo Brasileiro SA, as the company is formally known, said it is in the process of obtaining government permits to expand the terminal’s capacity.

Brazil is expanding its LNG facilities to take advantage of low international prices.

The tests completed by Petrobras were part of the requirements by Rio’s environmental agency Inea and by Brazil’s national oil regulator ANP. Petrobras has not specified the timing for conclusion of the licensing process.

The company’s Guanabara bay terminal in Rio de Janeiro currently has capacity to process 20 million cubic meters of gas per day through a floating storage and regasification unit (FSRU).

The terminal consists of an island type pier with two berths for mooring and anchoring an FSRU vessel and a supply vessel, the company said.
