据管道新闻网7月17日消息称，印度最大的炼油商印度石油公司（IOC）与阿联酋阿布扎比天然气液化有限公司(ADNOC LNG)和法国道达尔能源签署了长期液化天然气进口协议。

这两项协议是在印度总理上周访问法国和阿联酋期间签署的。这家印度公司在两份单独的声明中表示，根据这两项协议，供应将从2026年开始。

这家印度公司表示，ADNOC LNG将在14年内每年向IOC供应高达120万吨的液化天然气，并补充说，印度与阿联酋的贸易条约使其能够进口液化天然气而无需支付2.5%的进口税。

这是印度公司首次与ADNOC签署长期液化天然气进口协议。

根据这份为期10年的协议，道达尔能源将每年向IOC供应80万吨液化天然气。道达尔能源将从其全球投资组合中向IOC供应液化天然气。

由于印度希望到2030年将天然气在其能源结构中的份额从目前的6.2%提高到15%，并正在花费数十亿美元来改善其天然气基础设施，并正在寻找长期液化天然气进口协议。

最近几个月，亚洲液化天然气进口商签署了一系列长期协议，IOC的这些协议也是其中最新的一笔。今年6月，孟加拉国国有的孟加拉国国家石油公司与OQ Trading(前身为阿曼国际贸易公司)签署了一份为期10年的液化天然气供应合同，并与卡塔尔能源公司签署了一份为期15年的供应协议，从2026年开始。

与此同时，消息人士告诉路透，泰国国有控股的PTT正与卡塔尔就一项为期15年的液化天然气协议进行深入谈判，协议内容为卡塔尔每年供应100万至200万吨给PTT。

Indian Oil Signs Long Term LNG import Deals with ADNOC LNG, TotalEnergies

Indian Oil Corp., the country's top refiner, has signed long-term LNG import deals with United Arab Emirates' s Abu Dhabi Gas Liquefaction Co. Ltd. (ADNOC LNG) and France's TotalEnergies.

The two deals were signed during Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Visit to France and UAE last week. Supplies under the two deals would commence from 2026, the Indian company said in two separate statements.

ADNOC LNG would supply up to 1.2 million metric tonnes per year (tpy) of LNG to IOC for 14 years, the Indian company said, adding India's trade treaty with UAE enable it to import LNG without paying a 2.5% import tax.

This is the first time that an Indian company has signed a long-term LNG import deal with ADNOC.

TotalEnergies would supply 0.8 million tpy LNG to IOC under the 10-year deal, it said. TotalEnergies would supply LNG to IOC from its global portfolio.

India companies are spending billions of dollars to boost their gas infrastructure and are scouting for long term LNG imports deals as the nation wants to raise the share of gas in its energy mix to 15% by 2030 from 6.2% currently.

IOC's signings are also the latest in a slew of term deals signed by Asian LNG importers in recent months. In June, Bangladesh's state-owned Petrobangla signed a 10-year contract to receive LNG supplies from OQ Trading, formerly known as Oman Trading International, and a 15-year supply deal with QatarEnergy, starting 2026.

Meanwhile, Thailand's state-controlled PTT is in advanced talks with Qatar for a 15-year LNG deal for supplies of 1 or 2 million tonnes per annum, sources told Reuters.
