據離岸能源4月10日消息，俄羅斯最大的獨立天然氣生產商諾瓦泰克(Novatek)在今年第一季度提高了產量，而該公司的銷售額卻出現下降。

諾瓦泰克公司周四表示，天然氣產量同比增長2.2%，達到191億立方米。

這家俄羅斯公司1月至3月期間的石油和天然氣凝析油產量增加了2%，至305萬噸。

包括液化天然氣在內的天然氣初步銷售總量為206.9億立方米，同比下降6.8%。

諾瓦泰克在國際市場上銷售了24.5億立方米的液化天然氣。

諾瓦泰克表示，銷量下降的原因是“包括諾瓦泰克在內的亞馬爾液化天然氣股東在現貨市場上出售液化天然氣的份額減少，而亞馬爾液化天然氣長期合同的直接銷售相應增加”。

該公司補充稱，截至今年3月31日，諾瓦泰克有3億立方米天然氣(包括液化天然氣)、62萬噸穩定凝析油和石油產品在儲存或運輸中，并被確認為庫存。

Novatek’s Q1 gas production up, LNG sales down

Russia’s largest independent natural gas producer Novatek boosted its production in the first quarter of this year while the company’s sales decreased.

Novatek said Thursday that natural gas production rose by 2.2 percent year on year to 19.1 billion cubic metres.

The Russian company’s production of oil and gas condensate increased in the January – March period by 2 per cent to 3.05 million tonnes.

Preliminary natural gas sales volumes, including liquefied natural gas volumes, totaled 20.69 billion cubic meters, logging a decline of 6.8 per cent year-on-year.

Novatek sold 2.45 billion cubic meters of LNG volumes on international markets.

Novatek said the decline was due to the “decrease of Yamal LNG shareholders’ share, including Novatek’s share, of LNG sales on the spot market, and a corresponding increase of Yamal LNG direct sales under long-term contracts”.

As at 31 March this year, Novatek had 0.3 billion cubic meters of natural gas, including LNG, and 620 thousand tons of stable gas condensate and petroleum products in storage or transit and recognized as inventory, it added.
