据道琼斯7月25日消息，道达尔集团周三晚间表示，已与贝宁共和国及其国家电力公司Societe Beninoise d'Energie electrque签署协议，向贝宁输送液化天然气（LNG）。

根据协议，道达尔将开发一个海上再气化平台，将进口来的LNG还原为气体状态，并建设一条管道将天然气输送到岸上。

这家法国石油巨头同意从2021年开始，从其全球产量中每年向贝宁供应不超过50万吨LNG。

道达尔公司负责天然气业务的高级副总裁Laurent Vivier称∶“获得LNG将有助于贝宁满足日益增长的国内能源需求，并为该国目前的能源结构配置增加更多的天然气比重。”

道达尔最近收购了安纳达科石油公司在非洲广泛的LNG资产，包括加纳、莫桑比克和南非的油气田。

Total to Develop LNG Imports in Benin

Total SA (FP.FR) said late Wednesday that it has signed an agreement with the Republic of Benin and its national electricity company Societe Beninoise d'Energie Electrique to import liquified natural gas to the country.

Under the agreement, Total will develop an offshore regasification platform to convert LNG imports back into gas and a pipeline to transport the gas to shore.

The French oil major agreed to supply up to 500,000 metric tons of LNG a year from its global portfolio to Benin, starting in 2021.

"Access to LNG will help Benin to meet growing domestic energy demand and add more natural gas to the country's current energy mix," Senior Vice President Gas Laurent Vivier said.

Total recently acquired Anadarko Petroleum Corp.'s (APC) extensive portfolio of African LNG assets, including fields in Ghana, Mozambique and South Africa.
