据世界天然气5月26日消息，澳大利亚LNG公司桑托斯星期一表示，该公司已经在昆士兰州罗姆以东苏拉特盆地获得四处新的天然气勘探许可权。

桑托斯表示，其中两处开发只允许在国内供应，另外两处可以同时供应国内和国外LNG市场。

桑托斯首席执行官Kevin Gallagher表示：“这些区块提供了令人兴奋的国内和LNG市场开发机会，他们靠近现有的基础设施，并毗邻桑托斯拥有的煤层气试点活动区域。这意味着桑托斯将能够以更低的供应成本更快地将天然气推向市场，这是对天然气价格施加下行压力的最佳方式。”

Santos wins Queensland gas permits

Australian LNG player Santos said Monday it has secured four new gas exploration permits in the Surat Basin east of Roma in Queensland.

Two of the permits are for domestic-only supply and two could supply both domestic and liquefied natural gas markets, according to Santos.

Santos chief executive Officer Kevin Gallagher said these blocks offered “exciting” domestic and LNG development opportunities close to existing infrastructure and adjacent to Santos-owned coal seam gas pilot activities.

“This means Santos will be able to get gas to market faster and at a lower cost of supply, which is the best way to put downward pressure on gas prices”, Gallagher said.
