據世界天然氣5月7日消息：馬來西亞國家石油液化天然氣公司(PLL)表示，已根據加拿大AECO天然氣交易中心推出了新的LNG定價指數。該公司剛剛向亞洲買家出售了現貨LNG貨物，并于8月交付。

　　馬國油表示，根據AECO定價出售現貨貨物是朝著在LNG市場中建立透明價格指數邁出的重要一步，這不僅可以補充國油對貨物的定價多元化，也是對英荷殼牌牽頭的加拿大LNG項目的LNG供應的補充。據說它將于2024年開始商業交付。

　　馬國油是加拿大LNG項目的五個合作伙伴之一；該公司預計2024年將有1400萬噸/年的商業交付，這比財團此前提供的十年中期估計更為準確。

　　引入AECO是馬國油計劃的一部分，該計劃包括為其客戶提供額外的定價選項，使他們能夠享受到與之相關的好處。有了AECO，液化天然氣買家可以更靈活地從現有的關鍵價格指數，如日本原油綜合指數(JCC)、布倫特(Brent)、日本韓國市場(JKM)、美國亨利中心(Henry Hub)和英國國家平衡點(NBP)，進一步分散其價格風險。

　　PLL首席執行官Ezran Mahadzir表示：“作為一家以客戶為中心的液化天然氣解決方案提供商，我們不斷尋求提供滿足客戶能源需求的定制解決方案，同時為客戶提供具有競爭力的定價結構?！?/p>

　　AECO是加拿大西部領先的天然氣交易中心，與美國的亨利中心一樣，它是實時交易的，擁有大量天然氣儲備支持的高流動性。

　　PETRonAS INKS FIRST CANADIAN-INDEXED LNG DEAL

　　Malaysian state Petronas LNG (PLL) said May 7 it had introduced a new LNG pricing index based on the AECO gas trading hub in Canada. It had just sold a spot LNG cargo to an Asian buyer for delivery in August.

　　Petronas said the sale of the spot cargo based on AECO pricing is a significant step towards establishing a transparent price index in the LNG market to not only complement Petronas’ pricing diversification for cargoes but also for the supply of LNG from the Anglo-Dutch Shell-led LNG Canada project. It said it is due to start commercial deliveries in 2024.

　　Petronas is one of five partners in the LNG Canada project; its estimate that commercial deliveries from the 14mn mt/yr first phase are expected in 2024 is a more precise operational date than the mid-decade estimate previously provided by the consortium.

　　The introduction of AECO is part of Petronas’ plan to include additional pricing option for its customers, allowing them to enjoy its associated benefits. With AECO, LNG buyers now have flexibility to further diversify their price exposure from established key price indices such as Japanese Crude Cocktail (JCC), Brent, Japan Korea Marker (JKM), US Henry Hub and UK National Balancing Point (NBP).

　　“As a customer-centric LNG solutions provider, we continuously seek to provide customised solutions in meeting our customers’ energy demand, whilst offering them a competitive pricing structure,” PLL CEO Ezran Mahadzir said.

　　AECO is the leading gas trading hub in western Canada, and like the Henry Hub in the US it is traded in real time, with high liquidity backed by large gas reserves.
