据阿拉伯贸易网2019年2月19日伦敦报道，全球领先的数据分析公司GlobalData预计，在2023年前，科威特石油公司(Kuwait Petroleum Corp)将成为全球油气公司中新增液化天然气(LNG)再气化能力最多的公司，届时新增LNG再气化能力1.2万亿立方英尺。

GlobalData在题为“2019年上半年全球LNG再气化终端能力和资本支出前景——科威特石油公司领导全球再气化能力增加”的报告中说，全球LNG再气化能力在2019年至2023年之间预计将增加43%，从2019年的45.7万亿立方英尺增加到2023年的65.9万亿立方英尺。

GlobalData油气分析师Soorya Tejomoortula表示：“由于科威特石油公司在科威特Al-Zour终端拥有100%的股权，因此该公司在全球LNG再气化能力方面处于领先地位。这个终端预计将在2021年投产，其再气化能为1.2万亿立方英尺。”这个终端的总新建资本支出为36亿美元。科威特综合石油工业公司是这个终端的运营商。

在新建资本支出方面，中国海洋石油总公司（中国海油/CNOOC）是展望期内将有47亿美元的最高新建资本支出用于新增再气化能力项目。中国山东哈纳斯新能源有限公司和科威特石油公司紧随其后，新建再气化能力资本支出分别为29亿美元和27亿美元。

按地区来说，亚洲的LNG再气化能力在2023年前预计将新增12.6万亿立方英尺。在亚洲地区，印度计划在2023年前增加大约4.3万亿立方英尺的最高再气化能力。就新建资本支出而言，印度以未来4年49亿美元的规模位居第三。

GlobalData认为，欧洲是LNG再气化能力增加第二高的地区。，欧洲地区11个国家的计划新增LNG再气化产能在2023年前预计将增加2.4万亿立方英尺。在该区域内，德国、克罗地亚和爱尔兰预计将是这种增加的主要贡献国，分别增加0.52万亿立方英尺、0.30万亿立方英尺和0.29万亿立方英尺的LNG再气化能力。该地区计划在2019年至2023年之间，为即将建造的终端投资大约60亿美元。

就LNG再气化能力的增加而言，中东是第三高的地区，该地区在2023年前预计将增加大约2.4万亿立方英尺。在该区域内，科威特计划在2023年前新增大约1.2万亿立方英尺的再气化能力。科威特在预测期间的资本支出为27亿美元。

Kuwait Petroleum to lead global new-build regasification

LONDON Kuwait Petroleum Corp is expected to lead the global oil and gas companies with the highest new-build LNG regasification capacity additions of 1.2 trillion cubic feet (tcf) by 2023, said GlobalData, a leading data and analytics company.

Global liquefied natural gas (LNG) regasification capacity is expected to grow by 43 per cent between 2019 and 2023, from 45.7 (tcf) in 2019 to 65.9 tcf by 2023, it added in the report titled “H1 2019 Global Capacity and Capital Expenditure Outlook for LNG Regasification Terminals – Kuwait Petroleum Leads Global Regasification Capacity Additions”.

Soorya Tejomoortula, Oil & Gas analyst at GlobalData, said: “Kuwait Petroleum leads globally due to its 100 per cent equity stake in the Al-Zour terminal in Kuwait, which is expected to start operations in 2021 with a capacity of 1.2 tcf. The terminal has a total new-build capex of $3.6 billion. Kuwait Integrated Petroleum Industries Co is the operator of the terminal.”

In terms of new-build capital expenditure (capex), China National Offshore Oil Corporation has the highest new-build capex of $4.7 billion to be spent on new-build regasification projects in the outlook period. Shandong Hanas New Energy Co Ltd and Kuwait Petroleum Corp follow with $2.9 billion and $2.7 billion, respectively.

Among regions, Asia is expected to add the highest regasification capacity of 12.6 tcf by 2023. Within the region, India plans to add the highest capacity of around 4.3 tcf by 2023. In terms of new-build capex, India stands third with $4.9 billion over the next four years.

GlobalData identifies Europe as the second highest among the regions in terms of LNG regasification capacity additions. 11 countries in the region are expected to add 2.4 tcf of planned capacity by 2023. Within the region, Germany, Croatia and Ireland are expected to be the major contributors with capacity additions of 0.52 tcf, 0.30 tcf and 0.29 tcf, respectively. The region plans to spend around $6 billion on the upcoming terminals, between 2019 and 2023.

The Middle East is the third highest region in terms of regasification capacity additions. The region is expected to add roughly 2.4 tcf by 2023. Within the region, Kuwait has the highest planned capacity of approximately 1.2 tcf by 2023. Capex to be spent by Kuwait during the forecast period is $2.7 billion.
