據油價網8月17日報道，阿布扎比國家能源集團的天然氣部門ADNOC Gas與日本石油開發公司（Japex）簽署了一項為期五年的液化天然氣（LNG）供應協議。

這項LNG供應協議的價值介于4.5億到5.5億美元之間，“構建在阿聯酋和日本之間長期的雙邊關系基礎上，以及ADNOC在與日本能源公司建立的互惠戰略合作伙伴關系”，阿聯酋通訊社援引ADNOC Gas的話報道。

作為嚴重依賴能源進口的國家，日本正尋求在能源商品價格波動和地緣政治沖突改變的能源流動情況下，提升能源安全性并降低進口成本。

另一方面，ADNOC和ADNOC Gas正在尋求擴大其國際影響力，并在最近幾周簽署了幾項重要的海外協議。

今年7月，ADNOC Gas與印度石油公司簽署了一項長期協議，向印度石油公司供應LNG，協議價值在70億至90億美元之間。

根據協議的條款，阿布扎比國家石油公司（ADNOC）的綜合氣體部門ADNOC Gas將在14年內向印度石油公司出口每年多達120萬噸的LNG，阿布扎比公司在一份聲明中表示。

作為阿聯酋銷售天然氣需求的供應方，ADNOC Gas擁有對阿聯酋95%巨大天然氣儲量的開采權限，正在尋求在LNG市場增長和各國尋求多樣化供應以提升能源安全性的背景下擴大其全球影響力。

本月早些時候，ADNOC宣布將從阿布舍隆海域的現有合作伙伴道達爾能源和阿塞拜疆國有能源公司SOCAR手中購買該區塊30%的股權。交易完成后，道達爾能源和SOCAR將各自持有阿布舍隆氣田35%的股權，而ADNOC將持有該氣田30%的股權，該氣田位于阿塞拜疆的里海周邊地區，上個月實現了首次天然氣產出。

ADNOC Gas Signs LNG Deal With Japanese Energy Giant

ADNOC Gas, the natural gas arm of Abu Dhabi’s state energy group, has signed an agreement with Japan Petroleum Exploration (Japex) to supply liquefied natural gas (LNG) for five years.

The LNG supply deal is valued between $450 million and $550 million and “builds on the long-standing bilateral relationship between the UAE and Japan and ADNOC’s track record of fostering mutually beneficial strategic partnerships with Japanese energy companies,” Emirates News Agency quoted ADNOC Gas as saying.

Japan, heavily dependent on energy imports, is looking to boost its energy security and lower import bills amid volatile energy commodity prices and altered energy flows following the geopolitical conflicts.

ADNOC and ADNOC Gas, on the other hand, are looking to expand their international presence and have signed several major deals abroad in recent weeks.

ADNOC Gas signed in July a long-term agreement to supply LNG to Indian Oil Corporation, in a deal worth between $7 billion and $9 billion.

Under the terms of the agreement, ADNOC Gas, the integrated gas unit of Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC), will export up to 1.2 million metric tonnes per annum (mmtpa) of LNG to Indian Oil over a period of 14 years, the Abu Dhabi company said in a statement.

ADNOC Gas, which supplies around 60% of the UAE’s sales gas needs and has access to 95% of the UAE’s huge gas reserves, looks to expand its global presence as the LNG market grows and countries look to diversify supply to boost energy security.

Earlier this month, ADNOC announced it would buy 30% of the Absheron gas field in the Caspian Sea in Azerbaijan by acquiring stakes from the current partners in the field, TotalEnergies and SOCAR. After completion of the transaction, TotalEnergies and SOCAR will each own 35% in Absheron, and ADNOC will have 30% in the gas and condensate field, where first gas was achieved last month.
