據天然氣資訊6月25日消息稱，道達爾公司和Sonatrach公司簽署了一項協議，以續簽他們在液化天然氣領域的合作關系。值得注意的是，該協議允許將現有的供應合同延長3年，主要通過Fos Cavaou的一個液化天然氣終端，每年向法國市場提供200萬噸阿爾及利亞液化天然氣。該協議還包括由Sonatrach轉租道達爾的一艘LNG油輪。

道達爾天然氣公司總裁Laurent Vivier表示：“這項協議是道達爾和Sonatrach長期合作歷史的一部分。由于我們良好的關系，我們能夠在一個瞬息萬變的市場環境下完成這一交易。這份新合同進一步增強了道達爾液化天然氣投資組合的靈活性，加強了我們作為Sonatrach主要合作伙伴的地位。”

道達爾近70年來一直是阿爾及利亞能源業的歷史性參與者。該該集團積極參與石油和天然氣的勘探和生產(參與TFT II和Timimoun氣田以及Berkine盆地的油田)，并通過與Sonatrach的供應合同參與液化天然氣。該集團還活躍于潤滑油和瀝青的市場營銷。此外，道達爾和Sonatrach公司為阿爾及利亞西部的一個石化項目開展了工程研究。

道達爾是全球第二大液化天然氣私營企業，到2025年其總投資組合約為5000萬噸/年，在全球市場占有10%的份額。2019年，集團銷售了超過3400萬t的液化天然氣，在液化天然氣價值鏈上擁有穩固和多樣化的地位。通過其在卡塔爾、尼日利亞、俄羅斯、挪威、阿曼、埃及、阿聯酋、美國、澳大利亞或安哥拉液化天然氣工廠的股權，該集團在全球市場銷售液化天然氣。

Total and Sonatrach extend their partnership in LNG

Total and Sonatrach have signed an agreement to renew their partnership in the field of LNG. This agreement notably allows to extend the existing supply contracts for three additional years in order to provide 2 million tpy of Algerian LNG to the French market, primarily through an LNG terminal at Fos Cavaou. The agreement also includes the sub-charter of an LNG tanker of Total by Sonatrach.

“This agreement is part of the long history of co-operation between Total and Sonatrach. Thanks to the quality of our relationship we were able to conclude it in an extremely volatile market environment. This new contract further enhances the flexibility of Total's LNG portfolio and strengthens our position as a major partner of Sonatrach,” said Laurent Vivier, President Gas of Total.

Total has been a historic player in the energy sector in Algeria for almost 70 years. The group is active in oil and gas exploration and production (participating interests in the TFT II and Timimoun gas fields and in the oilfields of the Berkine basin), as well as in LNG through supply contracts with Sonatrach. The group is also active in the marketing of lubricants and bitumens. In addition, Total and Sonatrach have launched engineering studies for a petrochemical project in Western Algeria.

Total is the second-largest private global LNG player, with an overall portfolio of approximately 50 million tpy by 2025 and a worldwide market share of 10%. With over 34 million t of LNG sold in 2019, the Group has solid and diversified positions across the LNG value chain. Through its stakes in liquefaction plants located in Qatar, Nigeria, Russia, Norway, Oman, Egypt, the UAE, the US, Australia or Angola, the Group sells LNG in all markets.
