据能源经济12月27日消息称，乌兹别克斯坦周六启动了其首个天然气液化工厂，这是一个耗资 36 亿美元的项目，旨在从国内生产的天然气中提取价值并减少对进口石油产品的依赖。

生产主管Kidirbay Kaypnazarov表示，位于东南部Qashqadaryo省的UzGTL工厂每年将生产150万吨合成液体燃料，如煤油、柴油、液化石油气和从天然气中提取的石脑油。

乌兹别克斯坦总统Shavkat Mirziyoyev在启动仪式上表示，从 2022 年第一季度开始，该工厂将把价值 5 亿美元的天然气提炼成价值 15 亿美元的产品。它将在明年年底达到满负荷生产。

Mirziyoyev表示：“这项新的创新技术使我们能够根据市场价格增加煤油或柴油的产量。” 他补充说，乌兹别克斯坦目前进口价值10亿美元的石油和天然气产品。

该工厂每年将从附近的舒尔坦气田和加工厂消耗 36 亿立方米的天然气，周六，当局还启动了一个项目，将产量提高两倍。

UzGTL技术总监Marcel Krause表示，南非的Sasol参与了卡塔尔首个天然气液化工厂的建设，是UzGTL与美国能源巨头雪佛龙的技术合作伙伴。

Uzbekistan launches first gas-to-liquids plant worth $3.6 billion

Uzbekistan launched its first gas-to-liquids plant on Saturday, a $3.6 billion project to extract value from domestically produced gas and reduce its dependency on imports of oil products.

The UzGTL plant in the southeastern Qashqadaryo province will produce 1.5 million tonnes a year of synthetic liquid fuels, such as kerosene, diesel, liquefied petroleum gas and naphtha from natural gas, production director Kidirbay Kaypnazarov said.

Speaking at the launch ceremony, Uzbek President Shavkat Mirziyoyev said the plant would refine gas worth $500 million into products valued at $1.5 billion from the first quarter of 2022. It will reach full capacity by the end of next year.

"This new innovative technology enables us to increase production of either kerosene or diesel depending on their market prices," Mirziyoyev said, adding Uzbekistan currently imports oil and gas products worth $1 billion.

The plant will consume 3.6 billion cubic metres of gas per year from the nearby Shurtan gas field and processing plant, where the authorities also on Saturday launched a project to triple output.

Marcel Krause, UzGTL technical director, said South Africa's Sasol, involved in the construction of the first gas-to-liquids plant in Qatar, was UzGTL's technology partner alongside U.S. energy major Chevron.
