据普氏能源资讯7月29日报道，一位阿曼液化天然气公司官员告诉标准普尔全球普氏，阿曼是欧佩克以外中东地区最大的石油生产国，计划到2021年通过消除瓶颈将其液化天然气产量提高10％左右。

阿曼液化天然气公司首席营销官穆罕默德·纳塞布(Mohammed al-Naseeb)表示：“该项目将于今年启动，并将于2021年全面启动。目前年产量为1050万吨/年，扩建后将达到1150万吨/年。

阿曼政府是阿曼液化天然气最大股东，持股51%，其次是壳牌，持股30%，道达尔5.54%，韩国液化天然气5%，其他股东包括三菱公司、Partex和三井(Mitsui&co)。

阿曼约40%的液化天然气出口到日本，最大的买家是韩国的科加斯，每年进口406万吨。2018年，阿曼液化天然气同意在7年内向英国石油公司出售110万吨/年的天然气。

阿曼石油和天然气部长穆罕默德·拉姆希(Mohammed al-Rumhi)上周对标准普尔全球普氏(S&P Global Platts)表示，阿曼希望从苏丹东北部的储气库中找到更多天然气，据估计，马布鲁克油田蕴藏着超过4万亿立方英尺的天然气和1.12亿桶凝析油。

阿曼目前每天生产约30亿立方英尺的天然气，它正在增加勘探，并开展数十亿美元的项目，以使2018年发现的气田天然气货币化。

国营的阿曼石油公司，道达尔和壳牌正在合作开发马布鲁克的上游开发项目，而壳牌和道达尔则分别致力于开发壳牌开发的天然气液化（GTL）工厂以及道达尔将开发的液化天然气加注设备。

苏丹国还在英国石油公司的帮助下开发其巨大的卡赞气田，预计到2021年，该气田的日产量将从目前的10亿立方英尺提高到每天15亿立方英尺。

至于阿曼液化天然气的客户，大部分合同都是长期合同，将于2025年特许权结束时到期。

那塞布称，大多数合同都是以布伦特为基础的，但我们的合同是混合的。我们通过谈判获得最高回报的合同。

他表示，我们在现货市场的主要业务是通过优化某些合同，平均约占总销售额的10%。

Oman to ramp up LNG output by 10% by 2021

Oman, the biggest oil producer in the Middle East outside OPEC, plans to boost its LNG production by around 10% by 2021 through debottlenecking, an Oman LNG official told S&P Global Platts.

"The debottlenecking project starts this year and will be in full swing by 2021," said Mohammed al-Naseeb, chief marketing officer at Oman LNG. Current production is 10.5 million mt/year, and will reach 11.5 million mt/year after the expansion, he said.

The Omani government is the biggest shareholder in Oman LNG at 51%, followed by Shell with a 30% stake, Total with 5.54% and Korea LNG with 5%. Other shareholders include Mitsubishi Corporation, Partex and Mitsui & Co.

Around 40% of Oman LNG's output goes to Japan and the biggest buyer is South Korea's Kogas, which imports 4.06 million mt/year. In 2018, Oman LNG agreed to sell 1.1 million mt/year to BP over seven years.

Oman expects to find more natural gas from reservoirs northeast of the sultanate in the area where the giant Mabrouk field is estimated to hold more than four trillion cubic feet of gas and 112 million barrels of condensate, the country's oil and gas minister Mohammed al-Rumhi told S&P Global Platts last week.

Oman, which currently produces around 3 billion cubic feet of gas per day, is increasing exploration and undertaking multi-billion dollar projects to monetize gas from the field that was discovered in 2018.

State-run Oman Oil Co., Total and Shell are partnering in the upstream development of Mabrouk while Shell and Total are separately working on a gas-to-liquids (GTL) plant to be developed by Shell and an LNG bunkering facility to be developed by Total.

The sultanate is also developing its giant Khazzan gas field with the help of BP, which is expected to boost production from the current 1 billion cubic feet per day to 1.5 billion cubic feet per day by 2021.

With regards to Oman LNG's customers, the majority of contracts are long-term and will expire in 2025 when the concession ends.

"The majority of contracts are based on Brent, but we have a mixture. We negotiate contracts for what would be the highest returns," said Naseeb.

"Our main presence in the spot market is through the optimization of certain contracts" and averages about 10% of total sales, he said.
