HOUSTON, Nov. 15, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Sempra Infrastructure, a subsidiary of Sempra (NYSE: SRE) (BMV: SRE), today announced it has entered into a heads of agreement (HOA) with Williams (NYSE: WMB) for the offtake of liquefied natural gas (LNG) and development of associated natural gas pipeline projects to further connect abundant U.S. 墨西哥湾沿岸地区向全球市场供应天然气.
The HOA contemplates negotiation and finalization of two 20-year long-term sale and purchase agreements for approximately 3 million tonnes per annum (Mtpa) of LNG in the aggregate from the Port Arthur LNG project under development in Jefferson County, Texas正在开发的Cameron液化天然气二期项目 Hackberry, Louisiana. The HOA also contemplates the negotiation of a separate natural gas sales agreement for approximately 0.每天50亿立方英尺(Bcfd)将输送到吉利斯， Louisiana 区域，作为参考LNG项目的原料气供应.
In addition, Sempra Infrastructure和Williams预计将组建战略合资企业, expand and operate the existing 2.35 Bcfd Cameron Interstate Pipeline that is expected to deliver natural gas to the Cameron LNG Phase 2 project under development, as well as the proposed Port Arthur Pipeline Louisiana Connector that is expected to deliver natural gas to the proposed Port Arthur LNG facility.
"We are excited to continue advancing our U.S. Gulf Coast LNG and associated pipeline projects as we work to help satisfy a growing global demand for cleaner, more reliable energy sources," said Justin Bird, CEO of Sempra Infrastructure. “我们期待着推进与威廉姆斯的关系, 一家志同道合的公司，与我们共同致力于建设一个能源丰富的未来, affordability and security."
Williams很高兴与Sempra Infrastructure进行这一战略交易. We see it as an opportunity to combine our capabilities along the natural gas value chain and increase the delivery of low-carbon, 从井口向不断增长的国际市场提供价格合理、可靠的天然气," said Alan Armstrong, president and CEO of Williams. "Facilitating the delivery of next generation natural gas to ease energy constraints at home and overseas, 同时也有助于实现国内和全球气候目标, is central to our natural gas focused strategy, and we look forward to being well aligned with Sempra Infrastructure's unique capabilities and competitive advantages in the LNG infrastructure space."
亚瑟港液化天然气有潜力成为美国最大的液化天然气出口设施之一 North America. Phase 1 of Port Arthur LNG is permitted and expected to include two liquefaction trains and LNG storage tanks, as well as associated facilities capable of producing, under optimal conditions, up to approximately 13.5 Mtpa of LNG. Sempra Infrastructure recently announced it is expecting to take a final investment decision for Phase 1 of the liquefaction project in the first quarter of 2023. Additionally, 该公司上个月宣布，它已经修改并重新陈述了其工程设计, 与柏克德能源公司签订第一阶段的采购和施工合同. Port Arthur LNG Phase 2 is being developed as a similarly sized project located adjacent to the Phase 1 project.
The Cameron LNG Phase 2 project is expected to include a single LNG train with a maximum production capacity of 6.7500万吨/年的液化天然气，以及消除现有三条液化天然气列车的瓶颈. The project is expected to include certain design enhancements resulting in a more cost-effective and efficient facility, while also reducing overall greenhouse gas emissions.
The referenced HOA is a preliminary, non-binding arrangement, and the development of Sempra Infrastructure's LNG and associated pipeline projects remains subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including reaching definitive agreements, securing all necessary permits, 签订工程和建筑合同(如适用), 为每个项目获得融资并做出最终投资决策.
