據(jù)MRCHUB網(wǎng)站3月21日莫斯科報道，根據(jù)烴加工網(wǎng)信息顯示，美國能源公司森普拉能源公司（Sempra）宣布，其擁有70%股權(quán)的子公司森普拉基礎設施合作伙伴公司（Sempra Infrastructure Partners，LP）就得克薩斯州杰斐遜縣亞瑟港液化天然氣一期項目的開發(fā)、建設和運營達成了積極的最終投資決定(FID)。

森普拉基礎設施關閉了與康菲石油公司一家附屬公司的合資企業(yè)，并宣布了一項協(xié)議，將該項目的間接非控股權(quán)益出售給KKR公司管理的基礎設施基金。此外，森普拉基礎設施宣布結(jié)束該項目68億美元的無追索權(quán)債務融資，并發(fā)布根據(jù)該項目的工程、采購和施工協(xié)議進行的最終通知。

森普拉董事長兼首席執(zhí)行官Jeffrey W.Martin表示：“在森普拉，我們相信大膽、前瞻性的合作伙伴關系將是解決世界能源安全和脫碳挑戰(zhàn)的核心。憑借強大的客戶、康菲石油公司和KKR公司的股權(quán)贊助商以及柏克德公司的世界級承包商，隨著時間的推移，該項目有可能成為美國最重要的能源基礎設施投資之一，同時在得克薩斯州和墨西哥灣沿岸地區(qū)創(chuàng)造就業(yè)機會，促進經(jīng)濟持續(xù)增長。”

得克薩斯州州長格雷格·阿博特（Greg Abbott）表示，森普拉選擇亞瑟港作為新的天然氣液化和出口終端，這是一項戰(zhàn)略決定，將鞏固得克薩斯州作為世界能源之都的地位。得克薩斯州擁有高技能的勞動力和有利于業(yè)務推進的營商環(huán)境，并且是液化天然氣出口的國家級領導者，是擴大液化天然氣業(yè)務的最佳地點，以釋放美國在這一關鍵行業(yè)的全部經(jīng)濟潛力。擴大液化天然氣對美國能源安全至關重要，得克薩斯州期待著與森普拉合作，推進這一使命，為辛勤工作的得克薩斯人民帶來更多的就業(yè)崗位和更多的機會。”

亞瑟港液化天然氣一期項目已獲得完全許可，其設計包括兩條天然氣液化生產(chǎn)線，兩個液化天然氣儲罐和相關設施，銘牌產(chǎn)能約為1300萬噸/年。亞瑟港一期項目的總資本支出估計為130億美元。

根據(jù)與強大的交易對手——康菲石油公司、萊茵集團供應和貿(mào)易公司、PKN ORLEN美國、INEOS和ENGIE美國簽訂的具有約束力的長期協(xié)議，約1050萬噸/年的長期可簽約產(chǎn)能已全部認購，所有這些協(xié)議在達成FID后生效。森普拉基礎設施也在積極營銷和開發(fā)具有競爭力的亞瑟港液化天然氣二期項目，該項目預計將具有與一期類似的承購能力。

我們提醒，雪佛龍菲利普斯化學(CPChem)和Charter Next Generation (CNG)——使該基金的總資本達到4500萬美元，以支持北美塑料回收和回收基礎設施的發(fā)展。

Sempra launches Port Arthur LNG project

Sempra announced that its 70%-owned subsidiary, Sempra Infrastructure Partners, LP (Sempra Infrastructure), reached a positive final investment decision (FID) for the development, construction and operation of the Port Arthur LNG Phase 1 project in Jefferson County, Texas, said Hydrocarbonprocessing.

Sempra Infrastructure closed its joint venture with an affiliate of ConocoPhillips, as well as announced an agreement to sell an indirect, non-controlling interest in the project to an infrastructure fund managed by KKR. Additionally, Sempra Infrastructure announced the closing of the project's $6.8 B non-recourse debt financing and the issuance of the final notice to proceed under the project's engineering, procurement and construction agreement.

"At Sempra, we believe bold, forward-looking partnerships will be central to solving the world's energy security and decarbonization challenges," said Jeffrey W. Martin, chairman and chief executive officer of Sempra. "With strong customers, top-tier equity sponsors in ConocoPhillips and KKR and a world class contractor in Bechtel, this project has the potential to become one of America's most significant energy infrastructure investments over time, while creating jobs and spurring continued economic growth across Texas and the Gulf Coast region."

"Sempra's selection of Port Arthur as the location for a new natural gas liquefication and export terminal is a strategic decision that will cement Texas' position as the energy capital of the world," said Texas Gov. Greg Abbott. "With a highly skilled workforce and business-friendly climate, and as a national leader in LNG exports, Texas is the prime location to expand LNG operations to unleash the United States' full economic potential in such a critical industry. Expanding LNG is imperative to American energy security, and the State of Texas looks forward to working alongside Sempra to advance this mission and bring more jobs and greater opportunities to hardworking Texans."

The Port Arthur LNG Phase 1 project is fully permitted and is designed to include two natural gas liquefaction trains, two liquefied natural gas (LNG) storage tanks and associated facilities with a nameplate capacity of approximately 13 MMtpy. Total capital expenditures for the Port Arthur Phase 1 project are estimated at USD13 B.

The long-term contractable capacity of approximately 10.5 Mtpa is fully subscribed under binding long-term agreements with strong counterparties —ConocoPhillips, RWE Supply and Trading, PKN ORLEN S.A., INEOS and ENGIE S.A., all of which became effective upon reaching FID. Sempra Infrastructure is also actively marketing and developing the competitively positioned Port Arthur LNG Phase 2 project, which is expected to have similar offtake capacity to Phase 1.

We remind, Chevron Phillips Chemical (CPChem) and Charter Next Generation (CNG)––bringing the fund’s total capital to USD45 M in an effort to support the development of plastics recycling and recovery infrastructure in North America.
