據今日油價7月17日報道，俄羅斯能源部長亞歷山大·諾瓦克（Alexander Novak）在俄羅斯《能源政策》（Energy Policy）雜志上發表文章稱，俄正在開發的新液化天然氣（LNG）項目將使其能夠占據全球LNG市場15%的份額。

諾瓦克表示，自2009年俄羅斯開始通過薩哈林2號項目出口液化天然氣以來，液化天然氣出口量增長了4.5倍。

盡管俄羅斯天然氣工業股份公司（Gazprom）一直忙于在東西方鋪設新的管道，俄羅斯最大的私人天然氣生產商諾瓦泰克（Novatek）正在提升其在全球液化天然氣市場的影響力。

已經從亞馬爾液化天然氣工廠出口液化天然氣的諾瓦泰克公司于2019年9月批準了其第二個大型液化天然氣項目——位于吉丹半島的北極液化天然氣2號。

俄羅斯政府正在幫助Novatek在北極地區進行液化天然氣項目。

俄羅斯一名高級政府官員去年10月表示，北極地區可能在不到20年內成為俄羅斯天然氣產量的關鍵驅動力，因為到2035年，北極地區有可能生產出俄羅斯全部天然氣的90%。

俄羅斯負責俄遠東和北極開發的副部長亞歷山大·克魯蒂科夫曾表示：“北極在石油和天然氣領域的貢獻將繼續增長，這將使天然氣產量達到全國水平的90%，達到俄羅斯全部石油產量的四分之一。”

Russia Aims For 15% Of Global LNG Market By 2025

Ongoing development of new liquefied natural gas (LNG) projects in Russia will allow it to seize a 15-percent share of the global LNG market, Russian Energy Minister Alexander Novak wrote in an article in the Russian magazine Energy Policy.

Since Russia began LNG exports in 2009 with the Sakhalin-2 project, its exports of LNG have increased 4.5 times, Novak said.

While Russian gas export monopoly, Gazprom, has been busy launching new pipelines east and west—Russia’s largest private gas producer Novatek is boosting its presence on the global LNG market.

Novatek, which already exports LNG from the Yamal LNG plant, gave in September 2019 the go-ahead to its second large LNG project, Arctic LNG 2 on the Gydan Peninsula.

The Russian government is helping Novatek with its LNG projects in the Arctic.

The Arctic area could become the key driver of Russia’s natural gas production in less than two decades, as it has the potential to produce 90 percent of all the gas produced in Russia by 2035, a senior government official said in October last year.

“The Arctic’s contribution in the oil and gas sector will continue to grow, we can really bring gas production to 90% of the national level and to a quarter of all oil production in Russia,” Alexander Krutikov, Russia’s Deputy Minister for the Development of the Russian Far East and the Arctic, said back then.
