台灣中油公司與全球最大液化天然氣（LNG）進口業者日本JERA公司於本（13）日宣布共同與Mozambique LNG1公司正式簽署「液化天然氣買賣契約」（Sale and Purchase Agreement，SPA）。依據契約協議，日本JERA公司與台灣中油公司將自東非莫三比克共同採購每年160萬噸之液化天然氣，為期17年。
台灣中油公司指出，日本JERA公司為東京電力與中部電力合資成立之能源公司，亦為全球最大之液化天然氣進口業者(每年約3500萬噸進口量)，此次台灣中油公司與日本JERA公司合作共同採購，極具區域合作之指標性意義；對兩家公司而言，也是第一次與其他國家之液化天然氣進口業者以長期契約為基礎之共同採購，不但強化台日同業的長期合作關係，促使貨氣調度上更具彈性，以因應市場之波動。本次將長期天然氣進口來源擴展至東非莫三比克之全新開發計畫，提升台灣在能源採購之全球佈局，展現台灣中油公司穩定供應國內用氣需求及致力於拓展進口來源多元化之行動力。
美國Anadarko公司所領導開發的莫三比克液化天然氣計畫，為位於東非之新計畫，對亞太及歐洲兩個全球液化天然氣主要消費市場而言位置居中，該計畫為東非莫三比克第一個陸上的液化天然氣生產設施，其兩條生產線年產能1,288萬噸液化天然氣，預計2024年商轉。荷蘭、法國、英國、日本及中國等主要LNG業者亦為該液化天然氣計畫之長約買方。
Conclusion of
SPA for JERA-CPC Joint Purchase of LNG
from the
Mozambique LNG Project
TOKYO/TAIPEI –
13 May 2019 – JERA Co., Inc. (“JERA”) and CPC Corporation, Taiwan (“CPC”) have
jointly signed a Sale and Purchase Agreement (“SPA”) with Mozambique LNG1
Company Pte. Ltd., the jointly owned sales entity of the Mozambique Area 1
coventurers, to procure LNG produced from the Mozambique Area 1 Project.
This project treats, liquefies, and ships natural gas produced off the coast of Mozambique Area 1 at a plant to be constructed in the northeastern part of the country. JERA and CPC will jointly purchase 1.6 million tonnes of LNG per year for the base term of 17 years from the commercial start date.
This is the first co-purchase with overseas partner on a long-term basis for JERA and CPC. Through this SPA, JERA and CPC may exchange LNG flexibly depending on each other's supply and demand balance.
The destination clause in this SPA is in line with the Survey on LNG Trades report released by the Japan Fair Trade Commission in June 2017.
A European gas price index is used as part of the contract price formula for this SPA. By utilizing the geographical advantage of this project, JERA and CPC believe they can respond appropriately to uncertainties in the domestic LNG supply and demand by redirecting the destination from Asia and Europe.
JERA considers this project enables JERA to expand opportunities for optimizing its LNG portfolio. JERA will continue to maximize its enterprise value and its ability to respond flexibly to changes in the business environment by building an appropriate LNG portfolio and optimizing its operations.
CPC remarks that this joint purchase represents a cross-boundary LNG alliance in Asia Pacific. For decades, CPC has had a close partnership with Japanese and Korean LNG importers on cooperative basis. This joint purchase helps CPC to further achieve the flexibility of operation in dealing with the growing uncertainty of domestic gas demand in order to ensure the stability of supply into Taiwan’s market.
