据油气新闻网9月27日报道，菲律宾一位高级能源官员表示，菲律宾政府批准的三个液化天然气进口终端项目预计将于2023年初开始商业运营，这标志着该国液化天然气产业的诞生。

该国能源部天然气管理部门负责人Laura Saguin表示，这些项目是总部位于新加坡的大西洋、海湾和太平洋（AG&P）、First Gen和澳大利亚上市的能源世界公司（Energy World）的项目。

这三个终端是该国能源部批准的六个此类项目中的三个。另外三个项目预计将在未来三年内投产，其中包括壳牌拟议的一个项目。

菲律宾将需要进口液化天然气来为总装发电量超过3000兆瓦的燃气发电厂提供燃料，因为其位于南海的马拉帕亚气田的产量预计将在今年开始下降，到2027年将枯竭。

Saguin在投资峰会上表示，原定于今年7月投产的AG&P项目，预计将于2023年第一季度开始运营。

AG&P液化天然气码头和物流总裁Karthik Sathyamoorthy在峰会期间告诉路透社称，在疫情期间，公司遇到了一些供应链挑战，（但现在）正在与多个供应商合作。

AG&P将根据短期和长期供应协议从中东和澳大利亚采购液化天然气，但他拒绝透露具体数量。

AG&P的终端将具有500万吨年产能，为位于八打雁省的1200兆瓦的Ilijan电厂提供燃料。

运营数家燃气发电厂的First Gen也将八打雁终端的投产时间从今年10月推迟到明年3月。

已经建造了一座650兆瓦的发电厂作为一个固定市场的能源世界公司，计划到2023年第一季度运营其位于奎松省的年产能300万吨的终端。

Philippines to start 3 LNG terminals next year

Three government-approved LNG import terminal projects in the Philippines are expected to begin commercial operations in early 2023, marking the birth of the country's liquefied natural gas industry, a senior energy official said.

The projects are those of Singapore-based Atlantic, Gulf and Pacific (AG&P), First Gen, and Australia-listed Energy World, said Laura Saguin, head of the Department of Energy's (DOE) natural gas management division.

The three terminals are among six such projects that the DOE has approved. Three others are expected to come online within the next three years, including a project proposed by Shell.

The Philippines will need to import LNG to fuel gas-fired power plants with a combined capacity of more than 3,000 megawatts, as output from its Malampaya gas field in the South Sea is expected to start declining this year and to be depleted by 2027.

AG&P's project, previously scheduled for commissioning in July this year, is slated to begin operation in the first quarter of 2023, Saguin said at an investment summit.

"We had some supply chain challenges during the COVID period, (but now) we are working with multiple suppliers," Karthik Sathyamoorthy, president of AG&P LNG Terminals and Logistics, told Reuters on the sidelines of the summit.

AG&P will source LNG from the Middle East and Australia under short- and long-term supply agreements, though he declined to specify volumes.

AG&P's terminal will have a 5 million tonnes per annum (MPTA) capacity and fuel the existing 1,200-MW Ilijan power plant in Batangas province.

First Gen, which operates several gas-fired plants, has also delayed its Batangas terminal launch to next March from October this year.

Energy World, which has built a 650 MW power plant as an anchor market, aims to operate its 3 MTPA terminal in Quezon province by the first quarter of 2023.
