原标题：新的天然气发现有望改变区域格局

中国石化新闻网讯 据全球石油新闻2月19日消息称，中东地区天然气储量的新发现，正在改变该地区的格局和天然气定价、供应以及供需关系带来的地缘政治平衡的前景。

阿布扎比国家石油公司(ADNOC)最近宣布在迪拜和阿布扎比之间发现了巨大的天然气储量，估计有80万亿立方英尺。该发现是在阿布扎比去年11月也宣布重大发现之后进行的，其中包括估计有58万亿立方英尺的常规天然气,其总探明储量273万亿立方英尺和160万亿立方英尺的非常规天然气，此外还发现70亿桶原油。

沙迦国家石油公司(Snoc)和意大利能源公司埃尼集团(Eni)宣布发现了Mahani储油区，这是沙迦30多年来首次发现新的陆上天然气。

据估计，阿联酋每天消耗约100亿立方英尺的天然气，其中约三分之一是进口来满足需求，尤其是发电需求。迪拜将优先开发Jebel Ali附近的浅层储油库，迪拜每天将消耗约15亿立方英尺的天然气，其中大部分来自卡塔尔。

最近的发现使阿拉伯联合酋长国的天然气储量位居世界第六，并使其有望在几年内实现自给自足。

近期的发现也可能有助于阿联酋减轻油价下跌的潜在影响，以及欧佩克为应对不断下滑的石油需求而正在权衡的减产举措。阿联酋是欧佩克的关键成员国，也是全球第四大原油供应国。

New gas discoveries promise to change regional landscape

New discoveries of gas reserves around the Middle East are changing the regional landscape and outlook for gas pricing, supplies and the geopolitical balances those supplier-buyer linkages create.

Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC) recently announced the discovery of huge gas reserves, estimated to be 80 trillion cubic feet, between Dubai and Abu Dhabi. The discovery comes after Abu Dhabi announced major finds last November as well, including an estimated 58 trillion cubic feet of conventional gas — taking its total proven reserves to 273 trillion cubic feet — and 160 trillion cubic feet of unconventional gas, together with the discovery of another 7 billion barrels of crude oil.

Sharjah National Oil Corporation (Snoc) and Italian energy company Eni announced the discovery of the Mahani reserve, Sharjah’s first new onshore natural gas discovery in more than three decades.

The United Arab Emirates is estimated to consume around 10 billion cubic feet of gas per day, around one-third of which is imported to meet demand, particularly for power generation. Dubai, for which the shallow reservoir near Jebel Ali will be prioritised for development, consumes around 1.5 billion cubic feet of gas a day, much of it from Qatar.

Recent discoveries place the United Arab Emirates’ gas reserves as the world’s sixth-largest and bolster its prospects for achieving self-sufficiency within a few years.

Recent finds could also help the United Arab Emirates, a key OPEC member and the world’s fourth-largest crude supplier, mitigate the potential effects of depressed oil prices and production cuts being weighed by OPEC to address flailing oil demand.
