诺瓦泰克计划将北极-2项目的60%作为融资抵押

据能源之声4月3日消息称，俄罗斯最大的液化天然气生产商诺瓦泰克公司周一表示，计划将其在北极LNG 2项目中60%的股份作为该项目长期融资的抵押。

诺瓦泰克寻求从外部融资110亿美元，并已表示计划在今年上半年获得资金。

这个耗资210亿美元的项目于2019年获得最终投资批准，预计将于2023年启动，并在2026年达到每年近2000万吨的全部产能。

该项目的股权合作伙伴包括法国道达尔和日本北极液化天然气财团等，该财团由三井物产和国有的日本石油天然气与金属总公司(JOGMEC)组成。

俄罗斯联邦储蓄银行曾在1月份表示，已批准为北极LNG 2项目提供高达30亿欧元(35亿美元)的融资。

Novatek plans to put up 60% in Arctic LNG 2 as collateral for financing

Russian largest liquefied natural gas producer Novatek said on Monday it plans to put up its 60% stake in Arctic LNG 2 project as collateral for long-term financing of the project.

Novatek seeks to raise $11 billion in external financing and has said it planned to get the funds by the first half of this year.

The $21 billion project, which received final investment approval in 2019, is expected to be launched in 2023 and to reach its full capacity of almost 20 million tonnes per year in 2026.

The project's equity partners include France's Total and the Japan Arctic LNG consortium made up of Mitsui & Co and state-owned JOGMEC, formally known as Japan Oil, Gas and Metals National Corp.

Russia's Sberbank SBER.MM said in January it had approved financing of up to 3 billion euros ($3.5 billion) for the Arctic LNG 2.
