据海上能源4月5日消息，Sempra的子公司Sempra Infrastructure与 TotalEnergies、三井和日本液化天然气投资公司的附属公司签订了一份总协议(HOA)。最后一家是三菱和NYK共同拥有的公司。HOA专门用于路易斯安那州哈克贝利市卡梅伦液化天然气二期出口项目的开发。

HOA通过增加第四条液化天然气生产线，为卡梅伦液化天然气设施的扩建提供了商业框架。因此，它将通过消除瓶颈活动来提高三个运营列车的生产能力。

该协议还考虑根据收费协议，将第四列车50.2%的产能和25%的去瓶颈能分配给Sempra。剩余产能平均分配给现有的卡梅伦液化天然气一期客户。

在做出最终投资决定之前，该公司计划根据长期买卖协议出售与其产能相对应的液化天然气。

此外，卡梅伦液化天然气还将两项前端工程设计(FEED)合同授予了Bechtel Energy以及JGC America 和Zachry Industrial的一家合资企业。在此FEED流程结束时，将选择一名承包商作为该项目的工程设计、采购和施工(EPC)承包商。

拟议的卡梅伦液化天然气二期项目将包括一条最大年产能为675万吨(mtpa)的液化天然气生产线，以及消除现有三条液化天然气生产线的瓶颈。该项目还将包括某些设计改进，从而使设施更具成本效益和效率，同时还将减少总体温室气体排放。

HOA是一项初步的不具约束力的安排。卡梅伦液化天然气二期项目的开发仍需达成最终协议，获得所有必要的许可，并由每个卡梅伦液化天然气合作伙伴达成最终投资决定。

Sempra Infrastructure首席执行Justin Bird说：“我们很高兴能与合作伙伴继续推进卡梅伦液化天然气二期项目。今天的声明代表了卡梅伦液化天然气合作伙伴的共同重点，即增加美国向全球市场供应的清洁天然气，同时促进我们盟友的能源安全。”

Sempra signs Cameron LNG Phase 2 deal with partners

Sempra Infrastructure, a subsidiary of Sempra, entered into a heads of agreement (HOA) with affiliates of TotalEnergies, Mitsui and Japan LNG Investment. The last is a company that Mitsubishi and NYK jointly own. The HOA is specifically for the development of the Cameron LNG Phase 2 export project in Hackberry, Louisiana.

The HOA provides the commercial framework for the expansion of the Cameron LNG facility by adding a fourth LNG train. Therefore, it would be increasing the production capacity of the three operating trains through debottlenecking activities.

The deal also contemplates the allocation to Sempra of 50.2 per cent of the fourth train production capacity and 25 per cent of debottlenecking capacity under tolling agreements. The remaining capacity is allocated equally to the existing Cameron LNG Phase 1 customers.

The company plans to sell the LNG corresponding to its capacity under long-term sale and purchase agreements prior to taking a final investment decision.

Additionally, Cameron LNG awarded two front-end engineering design (FEED) contracts to Bechtel Energy and a joint venture between JGC America and Zachry Industrial. At the conclusion of this FEED process, one contractor will be selected to be the engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contractor for the project.

The proposed Cameron LNG Phase 2 project will include a single LNG train with a maximum production capacity of 6.75 million tonnes per annum (mtpa) of LNG, as well as debottlenecking of the existing three LNG trains. The project will also include certain design enhancements resulting in a more cost-effective and efficient facility, while also reducing overall GHG emissions.

The HOA is a preliminary non-binding arrangement. The development of the Cameron LNG Phase 2 project remains subject to reaching definitive agreements, securing all necessary permits, and reaching a final investment decision by each of the Cameron LNG partners.

“We are excited to continue advancing Cameron LNG Phase 2 with our partners,” said Justin Bird, CEO of Sempra Infrastructure. “Today’s announcement represents the shared focus of the Cameron LNG partners to increase the supply of cleaner U.S. natural gas to global markets, while also facilitating the energy security of our allies.”
