據油價網3月25日消息稱，加拿大自然資源部部長本周表示，該國石油出口量將在目前的基礎上增加約20萬桶/天。它還可能在今年年底前將天然氣出口提高相當于每天10萬桶。

Jonathan Wilkinson說:“加拿大向我們的歐洲朋友表示，我們將努力幫助他們解決當前的困境。”

這位官員還表示，盡管加拿大還沒有液化天然氣終端，而且第一個終端計劃在2025年完工，但有關從加拿大向歐洲供應液化天然氣的談判仍在進行中。

Wilkinson還說:“加拿大非常愿意討論我們如何提供幫助，但要以符合長期氣候目標的方式提供幫助。”加拿大和歐盟都有雄心勃勃的能源轉型計劃。

加拿大自然資源部長本月早些時候提到，加拿大正在尋找增加加拿大原油向歐洲輸送的途徑。

Wilkinson兩周前解釋過：“我們的液體和天然氣系統都處于或接近滿負荷狀態，但我們正在探索可能為美國和歐洲提供更多能源的選擇。這包括使用墨西哥灣沿岸的原油和天然氣出口設施。”

加拿大目前正以創紀錄的速度向美國出口原油。加拿大原油從墨西哥灣沿岸流向其他市場。去年，加拿大從墨西哥灣沿岸的石油出口量達到每天 18 萬桶。

與此同時，由于油價居高不下，越來越多的加拿大生產商正在考慮增加產量。Suncor 的首席執行官本月表示，加拿大石油行業的總產量可能會迅速增加 20 萬桶/日。

Canada Plans Oil Export Ramp-Up

The country could increase oil exports by some 200,000 bpd from current rates, the Canadian minister of natural resources said this week, as quoted by Bloomberg. It could also boost natural gas exports by the equivalent of 100,000 barrels daily, both by the end of the year.

"Canada indicated to our European friends that we will work to help them in the current situation that they find themselves," Jonathan Wilkinson said.

The official also said discussions are underway for supplies of liquefied natural gas from Canada to Europe, even though the country has no LNG terminals yet, and the first one is scheduled for completion by 2025.

"Canada is very open to discussion about how we can help, but help in a manner that is consistent with long-term climate objectives," Wilkinson also said. Both Canada and the European Union have ambitious energy transition programs.

The Canadian natural resources minister mentioned earlier this month that Canada was looking for ways to increase deliveries of Canadian crude to Europe.

"Both our liquids and natural gas systems are at or near capacity but we're exploring options that may be taken to provide more energy to the U.S. and Europe. That includes using export facilities on the Gulf Coast for crude and natural gas," Wilkinson explained two weeks ago.

Canada is currently exporting crude oil to the United States at record rates. From the Gulf Coast, Canadian crude heads for other markets. Last year, the rate of Canadian oil exports from the Gulf Coast reached 180,000 bpd.

Meanwhile, as oil prices remain high, a growing number of Canadian producers are considering production increases. Suncor's chief executive said this month that the Canadian oil industry could quickly add 200,000 bpd to its total output.
