中国石化新闻网讯 据管道新闻网6月14日消息称，法国集团道达尔能源周三表示，将以2.19亿美元收购美国液化天然气开发商NextDecade 17.5%的股份，这是一项更广泛交易的一部分，该交易将使这家得克萨斯州公司的里奥格兰德液化天然气出口项目得以继续进行。
NextDecade表示，已与全球基础设施合作伙伴(GIP)和道达尔能源达成框架协议，以促进格兰德河液化天然气项目的最终投资决策，预计将于6月底确认。
道达尔能源公司董事长兼首席执行官潘彦磊表示：“我们参与这个项目将为我们的全球投资组合每年增加540万吨液化天然气，加强我们确保欧洲天然气供应安全的能力，并为我们的亚洲客户提供煤炭替代燃料。”

道达尔能源是世界第三大液化天然气公司，拥有全球约12%的市场份额，每年的全球液化天然气产量约为5000万吨。
该公司表示，其目标是将液化天然气业务以每年3%的速度增长，并预计到2030年天然气将占其所有能源销售的一半。
其英国竞争对手壳牌也宣布了发展天然气业务的计划，以捍卫其作为全球最大液化天然气公司的地位。
NextDecade计划每年生产多达2700万吨液化天然气，并在该项目中加入碳封存部分，以减少温室气体排放。

TotalEnergies Buys $219 Million Stake in LNG Developer NextDecade
TotalEnergies will buy a 17.5% stake in U.S. liquefied natural gas developer NextDecade for $219 million, the French group said on Wednesday, part of a broader deal to enable the Texas company"s Rio Grande LNG export project to proceed.
NextDecade said it had entered into framework agreements with Global Infrastructure Partners (GIP) and TotalEnergies to facilitate the final investment decision for the Rio Grande LNG project, expected to be confirmed by the end of June.
"Our involvement in this project will add 5.4 million tons per year of LNG to our global portfolio, strengthening our ability to ensure Europe"s security of gas supply, and to provide our Asian customers with an alternative fuel to coal," TotalEnergies Chairman and CEO Patrick Pouyanne said.
The French energy major is the world"s third largest LNG player, with a roughly 12% market share and global portfolio of about 50 million tons of LNG per year.
It has said it aims to grow its LNG business 3% annually and expects natural gas to account for half of all its energy sales by 2030.
British rival Shell has also announced plans to grow its natural gas business and defend its position as the top global LNG player.
NextDecade plans for it to produce up to 27 million tons of LNG annually, with a carbon sequestration component to the project to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
The Texas company has deals to supply LNG to Japan"s Itochu, oil majors Shell and Exxon Mobil, France"s ENGIE and China"s ENN.
