据全球石油新闻网9月28日布宜诺斯艾利斯报道，阿根廷国家石油公司（YPF）的一名代表27日在布宜诺斯艾利斯表示，YPF时下正在用液化天然气（LNG）装载一艘运输船，这批LNG货物预计将在一个具有日处理250万立方米天然气的浮式液化终端出口。

这名代表说，阿根廷最大的天然气生产商YPF时下正在为10月份出口的这批LNG货物寻找买家。

由于YPF正寻求卸载来自瓦卡姆尔塔页岩远景区日益增加的天然气供应，因此，出口LNG对阿根廷这家国有企业来说是一项新业务。

这个今年早些时候安装的终端已经在现货市场上进行了一次装船试运行。YPF的计划是扩大天然气的出口渠道以避免由于天然气产量超过国内需求而导致供应过剩。全球最大的页岩远景区之一的瓦卡姆尔塔引领阿根廷天然气日产量从2014年1.137亿立方米的16年低点恢复至今年7月的1.44亿立方米。

Argentina's YPF loads tanker to start exporting LNG in October

Argentina's YPF is loading a tanker with LNG that will be exported at a floating liquefaction terminal with the capacity to process the equivalent of 2.5 million cu m/d, according to a company representative.

YPF, the biggest gas producer in the country, is looking for a buyer for the cargo in October, the representative said.

Exporting the LNG is a new business for the state-backed company as it seeks to offload a growing supply of natural gas from the Vaca Muerta shale play.

The terminal, which was installed early this year, has already made one shipment on the spot market as a test run.

The company's plan is to broaden its outlets for gas to avoid a glut of supplies as production outpaces domestic demand. Vaca Muerta, one of the world's biggest shale plays, has led a recovery in Argentina's gas production to 144 million cu m/d in July from a 16-year low of 113.7 million cu m/d in 2014.
