据油价网3月25日消息称，加拿大自然资源部部长本周表示，该国石油出口量将在目前的基础上增加约20万桶/天。它还可能在今年年底前将天然气出口提高相当于每天10万桶。

Jonathan Wilkinson说:“加拿大向我们的欧洲朋友表示，我们将努力帮助他们解决当前的困境。”

这位官员还表示，尽管加拿大还没有液化天然气终端，而且第一个终端计划在2025年完工，但有关从加拿大向欧洲供应液化天然气的谈判仍在进行中。

Wilkinson还说:“加拿大非常愿意讨论我们如何提供帮助，但要以符合长期气候目标的方式提供帮助。”加拿大和欧盟都有雄心勃勃的能源转型计划。

加拿大自然资源部长本月早些时候提到，加拿大正在寻找增加加拿大原油向欧洲输送的途径。

Wilkinson两周前解释过：“我们的液体和天然气系统都处于或接近满负荷状态，但我们正在探索可能为美国和欧洲提供更多能源的选择。这包括使用墨西哥湾沿岸的原油和天然气出口设施。”

加拿大目前正以创纪录的速度向美国出口原油。加拿大原油从墨西哥湾沿岸流向其他市场。去年，加拿大从墨西哥湾沿岸的石油出口量达到每天 18 万桶。

与此同时，由于油价居高不下，越来越多的加拿大生产商正在考虑增加产量。Suncor 的首席执行官本月表示，加拿大石油行业的总产量可能会迅速增加 20 万桶/日。

Canada Plans Oil Export Ramp-Up

The country could increase oil exports by some 200,000 bpd from current rates, the Canadian minister of natural resources said this week, as quoted by Bloomberg. It could also boost natural gas exports by the equivalent of 100,000 barrels daily, both by the end of the year.

"Canada indicated to our European friends that we will work to help them in the current situation that they find themselves," Jonathan Wilkinson said.

The official also said discussions are underway for supplies of liquefied natural gas from Canada to Europe, even though the country has no LNG terminals yet, and the first one is scheduled for completion by 2025.

"Canada is very open to discussion about how we can help, but help in a manner that is consistent with long-term climate objectives," Wilkinson also said. Both Canada and the European Union have ambitious energy transition programs.

The Canadian natural resources minister mentioned earlier this month that Canada was looking for ways to increase deliveries of Canadian crude to Europe.

"Both our liquids and natural gas systems are at or near capacity but we're exploring options that may be taken to provide more energy to the U.S. and Europe. That includes using export facilities on the Gulf Coast for crude and natural gas," Wilkinson explained two weeks ago.

Canada is currently exporting crude oil to the United States at record rates. From the Gulf Coast, Canadian crude heads for other markets. Last year, the rate of Canadian oil exports from the Gulf Coast reached 180,000 bpd.

Meanwhile, as oil prices remain high, a growing number of Canadian producers are considering production increases. Suncor's chief executive said this month that the Canadian oil industry could quickly add 200,000 bpd to its total output.
