中國石化新聞網訊 據路透社5月11日科威特城報道，科威特國有石油集團科威特石油公司（KPC）11日在科威特城表示，由于科威特尋求滿足國內炎熱夏季的能源需求，這個主要石油出口國將與荷蘭皇家殼牌公司簽署一項為期6年估計120億美元（440億第納爾）的LNG供應協議。

目前尚不清楚的是，這項合同是否與就是科威特報紙日前報道的KPC和殼牌公司之間上個月達成的一項LNG供應協議。

KPC官員沒有立即對此事發表評論。KPC在一份聲明中說，科威特石油部長阿里·阿米爾10日在科威特城會見了來自殼牌公司的一個將簽署這項合同的代表團。聲明沒有提供殼牌公司將提供的這種超冷天然氣的數量。

KPC補充說，該公司希望燃燒LNG而不是求助柴油和原油，這是因為柴油和原油在燃燒中排放更多的有害氣體。

Kuwait to sign $12bn LNG supply deal with Shell

May 11,2014

Kuwait: Kuwait’s state oil group said on Sunday it would sign a six-year liquefied natural gas (LNG) supply deal with Royal Dutch Shell estimated at $12 billion (Dh44 billion) as the major oil exporter seeks to meet energy demands for the hot summer months.

It was not immediately clear if the contract was the same as an LNG supply deal between Kuwait Petroleum Corp and Shell reported last month in a Kuwaiti newspaper.

KPC officials were not immediately available for comment.

In a statement KPC said Oil Minister Ali Al Omair had received a delegation from Shell to sign the contract. It did not provide the volume of the super-cooled gas that would be supplied by Shell.
