肯尼亚推迟与卡塔尔签署进口液化天然气协议
讯 据普氏能源资讯2月16日内罗毕报道，由于在国内陆上第9号区块内发现了1.8万亿立方英尺的天然气储量，肯尼亚将推迟与卡塔尔签署进口LNG的协议。
肯尼亚政府内阁负责能源和石油事务秘书戴维斯?奇尔奇尔16日在内罗毕对采访他的普氏能源资讯记者说，肯尼亚政府将推迟与卡塔尔签署每年供应1百万吨LNG的协议，从卡塔尔进口的LNG将主要用于蒙巴萨的一个计划中的700兆瓦发电厂。
奇尔奇尔说，肯尼亚政府在作出从卡塔尔进口LNG的承诺前将寻求优化使用由非洲石油公司去年年中在肯尼亚东北部第9号区块的Sala-1井中发现的天然气的方法。

Kenya delays signing LNG deal with Qatar on domestic gas discovery
Nairobi (Platts)--16Feb2015
Kenya is delaying signing an agreement on importing LNG from Qatar due to the discovery of 1.8 Tcf of gas in onshore block 9.
Energy Cabinet Secretary Davis Chirchir told Platts by telephone Monday that the signing of a deal for Qatar to supply 1 million mt of LNG a year to fire a planned 700-MW power plant in Mombasa was being delayed.
He said the government was looking at ways of optimizing the use of the gas found in the middle of last year by Africa Oil Corp. at the Sala-1 well in block 9 in northeastern Kenya before making a commitment to import LNG from Qatar.
