據(jù)能源新聞4月12日消息稱，項(xiàng)目承包商Enter Engineering周五對(duì)路透社表示，烏茲別克斯坦將于今年下半年啟動(dòng)其第一家天然氣合成油(GTL)工廠。

　　這家耗資36億美元的工廠最初預(yù)計(jì)將在2020年投入使用，將使這個(gè)中亞國家能夠利用其龐大的天然氣儲(chǔ)備生產(chǎn)更多的燃料，如柴油。目前，由于原油產(chǎn)量下降和煉油能力不足，這個(gè)中亞國家正在進(jìn)口這一燃料。

　　Enter Engineering在一封電子郵件中表示:“盡管受到2020年疫情的影響，該項(xiàng)目已經(jīng)實(shí)施了目前95.3%的計(jì)劃工程，啟動(dòng)儀式定于今年下半年舉行。”

　　“建筑和安裝階段現(xiàn)在已經(jīng)完成，收尾和測試工作即將開始。”

　　2018年該項(xiàng)目啟動(dòng)時(shí)，該廠管理層表示，該廠每年將提煉36億立方米天然氣，生產(chǎn)150萬噸燃料。

　　Uzbekistan to launch gas-to-liquids plant within months

　　Uzbekistan is set to launch its first gas-to-liquids (GTL) plant in the second half of this year, project contractor Enter Engineering told Reuters on Friday.

　　The $3.6 billion plant, originally expected to be launched in 2020, will allow the Central Asian nation to use its large natural gas reserve to produce more fuels such as diesel which it currently imports due to declining crude oil output and insufficient refinery capacity.

　　"Despite the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020 the project has implementation of planned works currently standing at 95.3 per cent and the launch ceremony is scheduled for the second half of this year," Enter Engineering said in an email.

　　"The construction and installation phases are now complete, with finishing and testing works about to commence."

　　The plant will refine 3.6 billion cubic metres of gas a year and produce 1.5 million tonnes of fuel, its management said when the project was initiated in 2018.?
