据海上工程师网2022年4月18日报道,摩洛哥能源转型和可持续发展大臣利拉·贝纳利周五(4月15日)表示,摩洛哥正在研究在几个港口建造浮式或陆基设施来进口液化天然气(LNG)的方案。
摩洛哥的大部分天然气需求——每年约10亿立方米——依赖于一条将阿尔及利亚天然气输送到西班牙的管道,直到去年10月,由于这两个马格里布人口最多的国家之间的关系不断恶化,这条管道被阿尔及利亚中断。
贝纳利告诉记者,无论是海上还是陆上LNG进口设施,都在进行研究,以选择“最直接的解决方案”。
今年1月,摩洛哥招标进行一项研究,对卡萨布兰卡附近的穆罕默迪耶港进行升级,以建造一个浮式LNG存储和再气化装置(FSRU)。
贝纳利说:“穆罕默迪耶港和地中海的纳多尔港似乎是最适合建造再气化终端的两个港口。但我们至少可以准备4个港口,即盖尼特拉港和朱尔夫莱斯费尔港。”
贝纳利说:“对摩洛哥的能源主权来说,在我们的陆上和海上拥有LNG再气化能力是很重要的。 摩洛哥将利用西班牙终端的未利用产能,‘在未来几天’进入国际LNG市场。”但她没有提供进一步的细节。
不过,贝纳利表示:“我们不会进口西班牙或欧洲的LNG。”
除了西班牙,摩洛哥在去年11月还与葡萄牙和法国讨论了利用未充分利用的再气化能力。
贝纳利说:“他们有未充分利用的再气化终端,而我们有一条必须使用的管道。”
这条管道是为目前依赖国家电网的摩洛哥西北部和东北部供电的两家小型发电厂提供电力的关键。

Morocco Considers Onshore, Offshore Options for LNG import Facility
Morocco is studying options at several ports to build a floating or land-based facility to import liquefied natural gas (LNG), Energy Minister Leila Benali said on Friday.
Morocco relied for much of its gas needs - about 1 billion cubic meters (bcm) annually – on a pipeline that used to channel Algerian gas to Spain, until it was halted last October by Algiers, against the backdrop of worsening relations between the Maghreb's most populous countries.
Whether floating or onshore, studies are underway to choose the "most immediate solution", Benali told reporters.
The country tendered in January for a study on the upgrade of Mohammedia port near Casablanca to host an LNG floating storage and regasification unit (FSRU).
Mohammedia and the Mediterranean port of Nador appear to be best equipped to host regasification terminals, she said.
"But we can prepare four ports at least," she said, citing Kenitra and Jorf Lasfar ports.
"It is important for Morocco's energy sovereignty to have regasification capacity on our territory and in our maritime space," she said.
Morocco will enter the international LNG market "in the upcoming days," making use of unused capacity at Spanish terminals, she said, without giving further details.
Though she said: "We are not importing Spanish or European LNG."
In addition to Spain, Morocco discussed in November with Portugal and France about tapping into the under-used regasification capacity.
"They have regasification terminals that are under-used, and we have a pipeline that has to be used," Benali said.
The pipeline is key to feeding two small power plants that supply Morocco's northwest and northeast, which currently rely on the national grid.
