據(jù)普氏能源資訊1月13日首爾報(bào)道，韓國(guó)貿(mào)易、工業(yè)和能源部副部長(zhǎng)Woo Tae-hee周五（13日）在首爾表示，作為韓國(guó)努力應(yīng)對(duì)在新政府在華盛頓接管以后任何可能的貿(mào)易爭(zhēng)端，韓國(guó)將尋求從美國(guó)進(jìn)口更多的石油和天然氣。

　　韓國(guó)能源部副部長(zhǎng)是在出席在首爾舉行的一次貿(mào)易論壇期間對(duì)標(biāo)普全球普氏能源資訊記者發(fā)表上述講話的。他說(shuō)：“為了應(yīng)對(duì)特朗普政府迫在眉睫的保護(hù)主義政策，我們?cè)跀U(kuò)大與美國(guó)能源合作中將尋求我們能夠做的事情，例如進(jìn)口頁(yè)巖氣。”

　　Woo說(shuō)，為了多元化其來(lái)自中東的供應(yīng)來(lái)源，韓國(guó)公司一直在增加來(lái)自美國(guó)的石油和天然氣進(jìn)口。

　　韓國(guó)GS Caltex在去年11月-12月進(jìn)口了200萬(wàn)桶美國(guó)鷹福特原油，這是韓國(guó)自華盛頓2015年底解除40年限制原油出口以來(lái)第一次購(gòu)買除凝析油和阿拉斯加原油以外的美國(guó)原油。

　　根據(jù)一項(xiàng)為期20年的旨在多元化供應(yīng)來(lái)源的合同，國(guó)有韓國(guó)天然氣公司計(jì)劃從今年7月起每年從位于路易斯安那州的Sabine Pass終端進(jìn)口280萬(wàn)液化天然氣（LNG），這將是第一批即將運(yùn)往韓國(guó)的LNG。

　　S Korea to look for more US oil, gas imports under Trump administration

　　Seoul (Platts)--13 Jan 2017

　　South Korea will seek more oil and gas imports from the US as part of its efforts to cope with any possible trade disputes after the new administration takes over in Washington, the vice minister of trade, industry and energy said Friday.

　　We are looking for what we can take to expand energy cooperation with the US, such as shale gas imports, with the Trump administrations looming protectionist policies, Woo Tae-hee, vice minister in charge of energy, told S&P Global Platts on the sidelines of a trade forum in Seoul.

　　South Korean companies have been increasing oil and gas imports from the US to diversify its supply sources from the Middle East, Woo said.

　　GS Caltex imported 2 million barrels of US Eagle Ford crude over November-December, the countrys first purchase of American crude other than condensate and Alaskan crude since Washington lifted a 40-year restriction on crude oil exports in late 2015.

　　State-owned Korea Gas Corp. planned to import 2.8 million mt/year from the Sabine Pass terminal in Louisiana from July this year under a 20-year contract that will help diversify supply sources, Woo said. This will the first US LNG to be shipped to South Korea.
