據10月13日Offshore Energy消息：俄羅斯最大的獨立天然氣生產商諾瓦泰克公司報告稱，今年第三季度天然氣產量達到19.13億立方米，比去年同期增長4.5%。今年前9個月，天然氣產量增長1.5%，從2019年的5588億立方米增至2020年的5671億立方米。

該公司第三季度和第9個月的總產量分別增長3.6%和0.7%。

天然氣銷售量(包括液化天然氣銷售量)為16.56億立方米，同比下降0.8%。

2020年第三季度，俄羅斯聯邦的天然氣銷售量為1436億立方米，而國際市場上的液化天然氣銷售量為22億立方米。

國際市場銷量下降，主要是由于亞馬爾液化天然氣股東(包括諾瓦泰克公司)在現貨市場銷售的份額下降，而亞馬爾液化天然氣長期合同直接銷售額相應增加。

截至2020年9月30日，諾瓦泰克天然氣(含LNG)存量為15億立方米，穩定凝析油和石油產品存量為74.3萬噸。

Novatek’s Q3 production up, LNG sales edge down

Russia’s largest independent natural gas producer Novatek reported a production increase in the third quarter and the first nine months of the year 2020.

Novatek said the natural gas production in the third quarter of the year reached 19.13 bcm, 4.5 per cent up on the corresponding quarter last year. For the first nine months, natural gas production rose 1.5 per cent, from 55.88 bcm in 2019 to 56.71 bcm in the first nine months of 2020.

The company’s total production rose 3.6 per cent and 0.7 per cent for the third quarter, and the nine-month period, respectively.

Natural gas sales volumes, including volumes of LNG sold, aggregated 16.56 bcm, representing a decrease of 0.8 per cent as compared to the prior year.

Natural gas volumes sold in the Russian Federation in the third quarter of 2020 totaled 14.36 bcm, whereas LNG volumes sold on international markets amounted to the equivalent of 2.20 bcm.

The decrease attributable to volumes sold on international markets was mainly due to the decrease of Yamal LNG shareholders’ share, including Novatek’s share, of LNG volumes sold on the spot market, and a corresponding increase in Yamal LNG direct sales under long-term contracts.

As at September 30, 2020, Novatek had 1.5 bcm of natural gas, including LNG, and 743 thousand tons of stable gas condensate and petroleum products in storage or transit and recognized as inventory.
