卡纳克能源开始在哥伦比亚生产和销售LNG

哥伦比亚卡纳克能源公司(Canacol Energy)已经开始生产和销售LNG，这是哥伦比亚的首个此类业务。

卡纳克周一表示，该公司正在与Galileo Technologies协商成立一家合资企业，该合资企业将在哥伦比亚其他地点安装终端，并向终端用户提供解决方案，目标是用LNG替代柴油、燃料油、压缩天然气、丙烷和其他燃料。

卡纳克总裁兼首席执行官Charle Gamba称:“由于哥伦比亚的天然气管道基础设施容量有限，不在现有管道上的工业、商业和住宅用户目前的日使用量为1.45亿标准立方英尺压缩天然气和丙烷，这些能源通过卡车进行长距离运输。

“压缩天然气的运输成本是LNG的三倍，因此有可能为转用液化天然气的消费者节省大量成本。由我们的合资伙伴Galileo公司提供技术，我们的目标是在哥伦比亚的其他战略地点建立其他液化终端。”

卡纳克能源补充称，公司在2019年期间在其位于Jobo的主要天然气处理设施中安装了四个从Galileo公司购买的天然气液化模块。这些模块能够将240万标准立方英尺的天然气转化为29,000加仑的LNG。

这些LNG将直接出售给第三方，然后通过卡车输送给距Jobo 800公里远的安蒂奥基亚和桑坦德的客户。

哥伦比亚目前每天消耗6500万标准立方英尺的压缩天然气和8000万标准立方英尺的丙烷，其中很大一部分丙烷是从美国进口的。

Canacol Energy begins production and sale of LNG in Colombia

Canacol Energy has begun production and sale of liquified natural gas (LNG), the first such operation in Colombia.

Canacol said on Monday that the company was also in negotiation with Galileo Technologies to form a joint venture which would install terminals at other locations in Colombia and supply end-user solutions with the objective to replace diesel, fuel oil, compressed natural gas, propane, and other fuels with LNG.

Charle Gamba, president and CEO of Canacol, said: “Given the limited capacity of the gas pipeline infrastructure in Colombia, industrial, commercial, and residential consumers not located along existing pipeline routes currently use 145 MMscfpd of compressed natural gas and propane that is transported long distances via truck as an energy source.

“Compressed natural gas costs three times more to transport than LNG, resulting in the potential for significant cost savings for consumers who switch to LNG. With our joint venture partners Galileo providing the technology, our objective is to build other liquefaction terminals at other strategic sites in Colombia.”

Canacol added that it installed four natural gas liquefaction modules purchased from Galileo at its main gas processing facility in Jobo during the course of 2019. The modules are capable of converting 2.4 mmscfpd of gas into 29,000 gallons of LNG.

This LNG is being sold to a third party at the plant gate for distribution via trucks to their clients in Antioquia and Santander as far as 800 kilometers from Jobo.

Colombia currently consumes 65 MMscfpd of compressed natural gas and 80 MMscfpd of propane, with a significant amount of the propane being imported from the United States.
