中国自海合会国家进口天然气的现状与前景

Present conditions and prospects for importing LNG from the GCC into China

海湾合作委员会国家包括阿联酋、沙特、阿曼、卡塔尔、科威特、巴林六国,拥有全球最为富集的石油和天然气资源。卡塔尔天然气储量仅次于俄罗斯和伊朗,居世界第三位。目前出口天然气的海合会国家有卡塔尔、阿联酋和阿曼。海合会国家不仅天然气资源禀赋丰厚、天然气发展潜力巨大,而且还在积极开拓太阳能等新能源。2007年,中国首次从阿曼进口LNG。2009年自海合会国家进口的LNG占中国LNG进口总量的8.42%,2010年这一比例上升至13.64%,未来中国自海合会国家进口LNG尚有很大的提升空间。中国应与卡塔尔、阿联酋、阿曼建立和保持长期稳定的LNG贸易关系,并尽早介入或扩大在沙特、科威特等海合会国家天然气上游领域的合作。

The Gulf Cooperation Council(GCC)consists of Saudi Arabia,Kuwait,Bahrain,Qatar,the United Arab Emirates,and the Sultanate of Oman.These six countries possess the most oil and natural-gas resources in the world.Qatar holds the world's third largest natural gas reserves(after Russia and Iran).The GCC members which presently export natural gas are Qatar,the Emirates and Oman.The GCC countries not only have immense natural-gas reserves and huge potential for developing them,but also are taking vigorous steps to develop new energy and renewable energy.We should build and maintain a long term LNG trade relationship with Qatar and begin or expand cooperation with GCC countries as early as possible in up-stream natural-gas and try to achieve limited purchasing priority for natural-gas by means of cooperation and joint ventures.
