据埃及新闻社10月26日消息称,埃及天然气控股公司(EGAS)已开始按照约旦安曼要求的数量每天向约旦供应2.9亿立方英尺天然气。
EGAS的消息人士告诉埃及新闻社,向约旦的天然气供应从本月初开始,以满足该国发电厂的天然气需求。
他解释说,埃及在实现国内消费过剩之后,正在向约旦出口各种数量的天然气,以满足约旦发电厂的部分需求。
该消息人士补充说,与约旦能源部签订的天然气供应合同是动态的,可能会定期变化,根据埃及现有的天然气供应,满足当地市场的需求,并满足约旦方面的要求。
埃及政府于2004年与约旦签署了一项为期15年的协议,每天供应2.5亿标准立方英尺,价值为每百万英热单位2.5美元。然而,在2012年4月,政府将天然气价格提高到每百万英热单位5美元。
自2018年9月以来,自2018年9月以来,埃及已恢复通过连接埃及和约旦的管道向约旦出口天然气,数量在每天5000万至1亿立方英尺之间。
消息来源指出,在实现天然气自给自足之后,向约旦出口天然气促成了埃及开始转变为该区域的一个区域能源分配中心。
埃及和约旦之间的协议将确保约旦10%的天然气需求由埃及供应,以运行埃及天然气发电站。
石油部与约旦方面签署了一项协议,该合同的日供应量约为2.5亿标准立方英尺/天,可以根据安曼的需求和埃及的可用数量增加,价格与先前协议的价格不同。

Egypt begins gas exportation to Jordan
The Egyptian Natural Gas Holding Company (EGAS) has begun supplying Jordan with 290m cubic feet of natural gas per day (scf/day) according to the quantities requested by Amman.
A source at the EGAS told Daily News Egypt that the gas supply to Jordan has started since the beginning of this month, to cover the country's power plants' gas needs.
He explained that Egypt is exporting natural gas in variable quantities to Jordan, to provide part of the needs of their power plants, after achieving a surplus of domestic consumption.
The source added that the contract signed with the Jordanian Ministry of Energy to supply natural gas is dynamic and subject to change periodically, based on the available gas in Egypt after meeting the needs of the local market, and the requirements of the Jordanian side.
The Egyptian government signed a 15-year agreement with Jordan in 2004 to supply 250m scf/day, valued at $2.5 per million BTU. However, in April 2012, the government raised gas prices to $5 per million BTU.
Egypt has resumed the export of natural gas to Jordan since September 2018, through the pipeline linking Egypt and Jordan in quantities ranging between 50-100m scf/day.
The source pointed out that the export of gas to Jordan contributed to the beginning of Egypt's transformation into a regional centre for energy distribution in the region, after achieving self-sufficiency of gas.
The agreement between Egypt and Jordan will secure about 10% of Jordan's needs of gas to operate their power stations from Egyptian natural gas.
The Ministry of Petroleum signed an agreement with the Jordanian side on a contract to supply about 250m scf/day and can be increased according to the needs of Amman and available quantities in Egypt, at prices different from what was contracted in the previous agreement.
