据路透社8月8日新加坡报道，根据业内消息人士和汤森路透的统计数据，由于国内的天然气管道问题自今年年初以来一直困扰这个国家，马来西亚7月份液化天然气(LNG)出口跌到了4年来低点。

今年1月份，由于从沙巴州的金马尼斯输送天然气到沙捞越的民都鲁工厂处理的一条长500公里的天然气管道发生严重天然气泄漏，从沙巴州石油天然气终端向马来西亚国家石油公司位于民都鲁的LNG联合体的天然气供应被切断。

一位知情人士对路透社记者表示，尽管管道已经修复，但马来西亚国家石油公司仍在等待有关部门的必要批准来恢复这条管道的运营。

马来西亚国家石油公司没有对管道问题发表评论，但一名女发言人表示，该公司来自民都鲁的 LNG联合体的货物交付没有受到任何干扰，该联合体的运营正在按计划进行。

具有年产2400万吨LNG的马来西亚国家石油公司LNG联合体由3个由马来西亚国家石油公司和合资企业拥有并运营的液化天然气厂组成。

Malaysia LNG exports hit 4-yr low on pipeline issuesAugust 08, 2018

Malaysia's exports of liquefied natural gas (LNG) fell to a four-year low in July as domestic gas pipeline issues plaguing the country since January took their toll, according to industry sources and Thomson Reuters data.

Natural gas supply from the Sabah Oil and Gas terminal to the Petronas LNG Complex in Bintulu was cut in January following a gas leak in the 500 kilometre pipeline which transports gas from Kimanis in Sabah to the Bintulu plant in Sarawak for processing.

While the pipeline has been repaired, Petronas is still awaiting the necessary approval from authorities to resume operations at the pipeline, a source familiar with the matter told Reuters.

Petronas did not comment on the pipeline issue but a spokeswoman said that there is no disruption to cargo deliveries from the Petronas LNG complex in Bintulu and that operations at the complex are being carried out as scheduled.

The Petronas LNG Complex, which has a capacity of 24 million tonnes per annum (mtpa), comprises three LNG plants owned and operated by Petronas and joint venture companies.
