據世界能源7月20日消息：巴基斯坦和俄羅斯政府簽署了一項初步協議，將建設165億立方米/年的巴基斯坦天然氣管道，這將使再氣化的液化天然氣能夠到達該國北部。
該管道將連接巴基斯坦旁遮普省首府拉合爾和卡西姆港，該國兩個運營中的液化天然氣進口終端就在那里。這條管道以前被稱為南北管道，在多次延誤后，預計將于2023年完工。
巴基斯坦政府去年12月批準了該項目，一個未透露姓名的俄羅斯財團預計將持有該項目26-49%的股份。兩國政府此前在2015年簽署了初步協議，但該項目進展甚微。
隨著卡西姆港液化天然氣進口量的增加，通往該國人口最多省份的傳輸線路可能會提高巴基斯坦的液化天然氣需求。該管道全長1100公里，產能約為4530萬立方米/天，可輸送1290萬噸/年的再氣化液化天然氣，超過了卡西姆港目前1270萬噸/年的進口峰值能力。這表明在增加更多進口能力之前，管道的利用率可能會受到阻礙。
近幾個月來，強勁的天然氣需求和國內產量的下降提振了巴基斯坦的液化天然氣進口，該國兩家國有買家頻繁進入現貨市場，以在各自的長期供應安排之外采購額外的數量。除了與QP子公司卡塔爾天然氣公司現有的375萬噸/年的協議之外，買家之一巴基斯坦國家石油公司還與卡塔爾的QP簽署了另一項從2022年初起最多300萬噸/年的定期供應協議。

Pakistan, Russia Sign Gas Pipeline Agreement
The governments of Pakistan and Russia have signed a preliminary agreement for the construction of the 16.5bn m3/yr Pakistan Stream Gas pipeline, which could allow regasified LNG to reach the northern part of the country.
The pipeline will link Lahore — the capital of Pakistan's Punjab province — with Port Qasim, where the country's two operational LNG import terminals are. Construction of the pipeline, previously known as the North-South pipeline, is now expected to be completed by 2023, following multiple delays.
The Pakistani government approved the project in December last year, with an unnamed Russian consortium expected to build the pipeline and hold a 26-49pc share in the project. The two governments previously signed a preliminary agreement in 2015, but the project made little progress.
The transmission link to the country's most populous province could boost Pakistani LNG demand once more LNG import capacity is added at Port Qasim. With a capacity of around 45.3mn m3/d, the 1,100km pipeline could deliver up to 12.9mn t/yr of regasified LNG — greater than the combined 12.7mn t/yr peak import capacity installed at Port Qasim at present. This suggests that the pipeline's utilisation could remain stunted until more import capacity is added.
Strong gas demand and waning domestic output has buoyed Pakistan's LNG imports in recent months, with the country's two state-owned buyers frequently stepping into the spot market to procure additional volumes on top of their respective long-term supply arrangements. One of the buyers, Pakistan State Oil, has also signed another term supply deal with Qatar's QP for up to 3mn t/yr from the start of 2022, in addition to its existing 3.75mn t/yr agreement with QP subsidiary Qatargas.
