Turkey Reportedly Turns East For Gas, Reportedly Eyes Exxon Deal To Ditch Russia
Exxon Mobil Corporation (NYSE:XOM) is reportedly in talks with Turkey for a multibillion-dollar deal for liquefied natural gas (LNG) as Ankara seeks to curb its dependence on Russia for energy needs.
據報道，埃克森美孚公司（紐約證券交易所代碼：XOM）正在與土耳其就一項數十億美元的液化天然氣（LNG）協議進行談判，因爲安卡拉正在尋求遏制其對俄羅斯能源需求的依賴。
Turkish energy minister Alparslan Bayraktar said in an interview, "The country, which imports nearly all of its natural gas, is seeking to build a "new supply portfolio" that will make it less reliant on any single partner," reported Financial Times.
《金融時報》報道，土耳其能源部長阿爾帕斯蘭·拜拉克塔爾在接受採訪時說：“該國幾乎所有的天然氣都要進口，正在尋求建立 “新的供應組合”，以減少對任何單一合作伙伴的依賴。”
Notably, as per the report, Russia is Turkey's biggest natural gas supplier, accounting for over 40% of its consumption last year.
值得注意的是，根據該報告，俄羅斯是土耳其最大的天然氣供應國，佔去年其消費量的40％以上。
Bayraktar stated that Turkey plans to secure up to 2.5 million tonnes of LNG annually through this deal, which could last a decade.
Bayraktar表示，土耳其計劃通過該協議每年獲得多達250萬噸液化天然氣，該協議可能持續十年。
He further added that while the commercial terms of the Exxon deal were still under discussion, the 2.5 million tonnes of LNG shipped to Turkey could currently cost about $1.1 billion.
他進一步補充說，儘管埃克森美孚協議的商業條款仍在討論中，但運往土耳其的250萬噸液化天然氣目前可能耗資約11億美元。
As for the report, the 2.5 million tonnes of LNG would be enough to cover roughly 7% of Turkey's natural gas consumption last year.
至於該報告，250萬噸液化天然氣足以滿足土耳其去年天然氣消費量的大約7％。
Exxon stated that it had initial discussions with the Turkish government regarding potential LNG opportunities but did not comment on the details of its commercial strategy, as per the report.
埃克森美孚表示，它已與土耳其政府就潛在的液化天然氣機會進行了初步討論，但沒有就其商業戰略的細節發表評論。
Last month, Exxon Mobil reportedly said it is ahead of schedule with its plan to double the size of its LNG portfolio to 40 million tons per annum by 2030.
據報道，埃克森美孚上個月表示，計劃到2030年將其液化天然氣投資組合的規模擴大一倍，達到每年4000萬噸，這已提前完成。
Last week, Exxon reported first-quarter results, with revenue of $83.083 billion, exceeding consensus by nearly $5 billion.
上週，埃克森美孚公佈了第一季度業績，收入爲830.83億美元，比市場預期高出近50億美元。
