EGAS对约旦的天然气日出口量减至1.4亿立方英尺

原标题：EGAS对约旦的天然气日出口量减至1.4亿立方英尺

中国石化新闻网讯 据埃及日报1月19日报道，埃及天然气控股公司（EGAS）对约旦的天然气出口量将从上月的3.5亿立方英尺/天降至约1.4亿立方英尺/天。。

2004年，埃及政府与约旦签署了一项为期15年的协议，该协议规定，需要向约旦提供2.5亿立方英尺/天的天然气，价值在每百万英热2.5美元，但埃及在2012年4月提高了天然气出口价格，达到每百万英热单位5美元。

据了解，埃及和约旦之间签订的合同是动态的，在满足当地市场需求后，可根据所需的天然气数量和可用储量定期作出变动。

消息人士指出，埃及与约旦的天然气管道输送量可超过5亿立方英尺/天，出口数量可根据安曼（约旦首都）的要求增减。由于目前全球市场上液化天然气的价值正在下降，目前向约旦出口天然气的经济回报高于液化天然气。

埃及自2018年9月起恢复向约旦出口天然气，每日出口量在0.5亿立方英尺到1亿立方英尺之间。向约旦出口天然气有助于埃及在实现天然气自给自足之后，转变为该区域的能源分配中心。

埃及和约旦之间的协议规定，约旦从埃及进口的天然气的10%用来满足约旦发电站的运行需求。

两国石油部门官员正在跟进联合项目的执行情况，并为能源供应多样化，特别是天然气的供应制定相关战略。

EGAS cuts gas exports to Jordan to 140m scf/day

The Egyptian Natural Gas Holding Company (EGAS) reduced gas exports to Jordan to about 140m cubic feet per day (scf/day), from 350m scf/day last month, in accordance to the quantities requested by Amman.

The Egyptian government signed a 15-year agreement with Jordan in 2004 to provide 250m scf/day valued at $2.5 per one million British Thermal Units (BTU), but the government raised gas prices during April 2012, to reach $5 per one million BTU.

The source added that the contract signed between Egypt and Jordan is dynamic and subject to change periodically based on the required quantities of gas and the available reserves after fulfilling the needs of the local market.

He explained that the Egypt-Jordan gas pipeline can pump over 500m scf/day, and the quantities allocated for export are subject to increase/decrease in accordance with the requirements of Amman.

The source pointed out that exporting gas to Jordan achieves a higher economic return than LNG shipments at the present, due to the decrease in the value of LNG in global markets today.

Egypt has resumed exporting natural gas to Jordan since September 2018, with quantities ranging from 50m to 100m scf/day.

The source pointed out that the export of gas to Jordan contributed to Egypt’s transformation into a regional centre for energy distribution in the region, after achieving self-sufficiency in gas.

The agreement between Egypt and Jordan provides the latter with imports of 10% of the needs of running its power stations from Egyptian natural gas.

Petroleum sector officials of both countries are following up on the execution position of joint projects and the strategies that have been put in place to provide and diversify energy sources, especially natural gas.
