据路透社伦敦报道，Golar LNG公司星期一表示，它正在与尼日利亚当局进行谈判，商讨建立一个可以利用其船只进口LNG的电力项目。
该公司希望扩大其核心LNG航运和码头业务，并希望拥有在巴西价值17亿美元的塞吉普发电厂项目的一半权益，在该项目中，它还将提供一个浮式储存及再气化装置来接收LNG的交付。
Golar的首席商务部长Robert Carter表示，该公司正在考虑在拉各斯实施一个“完全一体化的天然气和电力项目”。
LNG发电项目往往包括LNG进口终端，如浮式储存及再气化装置船只；基础设施，如天然气再生管道；以及以天然气为原料发电的发电厂。
尼日利亚是一个巨大的石油和天然气生产国，有一个大型LNG出口终端，但仍然需要进口汽车燃料，而且由于基础设施差和能源部门管理混乱，造成电力短缺问题。
Golar拥有16艘LNG航母和8艘浮式储存及再气化装置船只，但他表示，计划通过在上游端运营生产设施和参与下游端的电力项目，将LNG业务扩大到更广泛的领域。
当被问及Golar是否会为尼日利亚的项目提供浮式储存及再气化装置时，Carter表示：“可以说，我们不投资于一个没有Golar标志的项目，我们说的是Golar的解决方案。”
在塞吉普项目中，Golar拥有该公司50%的股份，运营一个1500兆瓦的发电厂和相关基础设施，并将提供一个浮式储存及再气化装置，该公司周一表示，此项目有望在2020年1月开始运营。
所有的Golar的浮式储存及再气化装置，目前正在使用中的，除了Golar Tundra被用于现货LNG市场外，也可以作为常规LNG运输工具使用。

Golar looks to Nigeria to expand power footprint
Golar LNG said The company wants to expand beyond its core LNG shipping and terminals business and owns half of the $1.7 billion Sergipe power plant project in Brazil, in which it will also provide a floating storage and regasification unit (FSRU) to take delivery of LNG.
Golar’s Chief Commercial Officer Robert Carter said the company was looking into a “fully integrated gas and power project” in the state of Lagos.
LNG-to-power projects tend to comprise an LNG import terminal such as an FSRU vessel; infrastructure such as pipelines for the regasified gas; and a power plant which uses the gas as feedstock to produce electricity.
Nigeria is a massive oil and gas producer, with a large LNG export terminal, but still needs to import fuels for vehicles and suffers power shortages due to poor infrastructure and chaotic governance of its energy sector.
Golar has a fleet of 16 LNG carriers and eight FSRUs but has said it plans to expand into the broader LNG business by operating production facilities at the upstream end and participating in power projects at the downstream end.
“We don’t invest in a project where there isn’t a Golar flag, so to speak,” Carter said when asked whether Golar would provide an FSRU for the Nigerian project. “We’re talking about a Golar solution.”
On the Sergipe project, Golar owns 50 percent of the company operating a 1,500 megawatt power plant and associated infrastructure and will provide an FSRU. It said All of Golar’s FSRUs, which can also be used as conventional LNG carriers, are currently in use aside from the Golar Tundra which is being used in the spot LNG market.
