12月8日，被誉为“北极圈上的能源明珠”的中俄能源合作重大项目——亚马尔液化天然气项目正式投产，这一项目是目前全球在北极地区开展的最大液化天然气工程。
中俄亚马尔液化天然气项目投产
亚马尔液化天然气项目位于俄罗斯境内的北极圈内，是目前全球在北极地区开展的最大型液化天然气工程，属于世界特大型天然气勘探开发、液化、运输、销售一体化项目，被誉为“镶嵌在北极圈上的一颗能源明珠”。俄罗斯总统普京也出席了当天的仪式。
中石油俄罗斯公司总经理蒋奇：“亚马尔液化气项目是我们最近几年，中俄经贸合作最大的投资项目。除了中石油参与了这个项目之外，中国的金融机构也参与了这个项目，将来液化天然气的运输，特别是向中国出口的液化天然气的运输，都要由中国的航运公司来承担。”
作为中俄在北极圈合作的首个全产业链合作项目，亚马尔项目成为了“冰上丝绸之路”的重要支点。不仅将带动俄罗斯能源产业和边疆地区发展，还能够丰富我国清洁能源供应，加快推进我国能源结构的优化。
项目建成后能为我国供应多少天然气？
到2019年，亚马尔液化天然气项目全部建成后，该项目的三条生产线每年将向中国稳定供应400万吨液化天然气。
400万吨液化天然气，这是什么概念？
400万吨液化天然气相当于60亿立方米，而今年1月，国家发展改革委在官网公布的数据显示，2016年，我国天然气产量1371亿立方米，天然气进口量721亿立方米;天然气消费量2058亿立方米。
亚马尔液化天然气项目作业区已探明天然气储量约1.3万亿立方米，其中富含的凝析油储量约6018万吨。项目共将开采天然气井208口，分布于19个开采区。到2019年，三条液化天然气生产线全部建成后，项目每年将可生产1650万吨液化天然气，以及100万吨凝析油，大部分产量将供往亚太地区。
中国为何与俄在北极开采天然气?
亚马尔项目位于北极圈以内，中国为什么会选择在这个地点与俄罗斯合作开采天然气？
对外经济贸易大学教授董秀成：“这主要是个商业行为。对于我们中国来说，天然气需要快速增长，而俄罗斯在北极圈有能源的资源，我国有市场，俄罗斯有资源，所以是互补的。此外，跟俄罗斯合作，还带动了我国在极地开发技术的提升。”

亚马尔项目不仅带来天然气 更有新航道
亚马尔项目的建设不仅为我国带来了天然气，更有新航道。通过与俄罗斯合作，我国成功实现北冰洋运输，开辟了北极航道。缩短运输航线后，未来将节省多少海运成本呢？
“冰上丝绸之路”，就是穿越北极圈，连接北美、东亚和西欧三大经济中心的海运航道。亚马尔项目建设过程中超过60%的模块和零部件是经过白令海峡、通过北极东北航道运输，平均用时16天左右，比通过苏伊士运河节省近20天。
在我国，90%的外贸货物运输量都要依赖海运。目前，中国的远洋航线虽然不少，但是通往欧洲的航线有限，且面临着各种成本、安全等问题。
中石油俄罗斯公司总经理蒋奇：“北极东北航道是连接亚洲跟欧洲之间最直接、最便捷的运输通道。如果能够充分利用这个北极航道，将来中国跟欧洲之间的经贸合作也会降低很多的物流成本，提高我们中国跟欧洲之间的经济合作。”

数据显示，一旦北极东北航道正式开通，我国沿海诸港到北美东岸的航程，比巴拿马运河传统航线缩短2000到3500海里;上海以北港口到欧洲西部、北海、波罗的海等港口，将比传统航线航程短25%-55%，每年可节省533亿到1274亿美元的国际贸易海运成本。

China signs up for more Arctic gas from Russia’s Novatek

Russia ships first gas from $27bn Arctic project
Friday, 8 December, 2017
November 1, 2017
Russian gas producer Novatek has signed agreements with the Chinese National Petroleum Company and China Development Bank for cooperation on the company’s second LNG project in the Arctic.
The two state-owned Chinese companies participated in Novatek’s first “Arctic LNG-1″ project in the Yamal peninsula after US and EU sanctions forced the $27bn initiative to turn to China for funding and support.
France’s Total also has a 20 per cent stake in the LNG-1 project, which began operations this autumn and will supply gas to Asia and Europe.
Novatek’s chairman Leonid Mikhelson said:
Our companies already have a history of effective cooperation, including the successful implementation of the Yamal LNG project. We believe our strategic cooperation agreement will further enhance our mutual relationship as well as open up new opportunities for both companies, utilizing our experience in implementing LNG projects combined with the enormous opportunities in the Chinese market, one of the most perspective gas markets globally.
Mr Mikhelson has previously said that an unnamed Saudi company is also in talks to participate in the project, and that partners in LNG-1 would be offered to continue their participation. Total has said it would be interested in taking part in LNG-2.

A landmark Russian Arctic gas project began loading its first seaborne shipment on Friday, marking the start of commercial operations for a $27bn venture that has defied western sanctions, deepened Moscow’s energy co-operation with China and lifted its ambitions to become a major liquid natural gas player.
Funded by Chinese banks and part-owned by France’s Total, the Yamal LNG project controlled by Russia’s Novatek will produce 16.5m tonnes of super-cooled gas a year by 2019, in a boost to Russia’s ambitions of tapping vast hydrocarbon deposits in the frozen Arctic and a test case for the viability of the so-called northern sea route to Asia.
Ceremonially launched by president Vladimir Putin, with the temperature touching minus 30C, an 80,000-tonne tanker designed to carve through 2.5m of ice began filling with gas at the port in Sabetta, closer to the North Pole than to Moscow.
For almost half the year, ships filled with gas will sail east, reaching China in about 15 days: roughly half the time of the conventional route around Europe and through the Suez Canal.
“When this project began, several people made a list of reasons why it would not work. There were risks. But you can see it has been a success,” Mr Putin said. “This is a crucial event, not just for energy but for the whole use of the Arctic . . . and the northern route.”
Mr Putin was joined by Saudi Arabia’s energy minister, Khalid al-Falih, amid talks between privately held Novatek and unnamed Saudi companies regarding their potential involvement in a second LNG project planned nearby.

Vladimir Putin
Russia has sought to deepen its ties with China and Saudi Arabia as relations with the west sink to a cold war nadir sparked by sanctions imposed after its invasion of Crimea in 2014. Moscow and Riyadh have struck a deal to limit global oil production and Chinese companies have bought billions of dollars worth of Russian energy assets, including a stake in state oil company Rosneft.
Developing large-scale exports of LNG is viewed as critical for Russia’s energy export industry, which has seen LNG shipments from Qatar and the US emerge as potential rivals in Europe to pipeline gas supplied by Gazprom. More LNG plants are planned along its coastline, from the Baltic to the Pacific.
The Yamal project performed financial acrobatics in 2014 to comply with US sanctions imposed on Novatek by switching its financing to euros from dollars and drumming up $12bn worth of Chinese funding to replace western lenders.
It has begun operations on time and within budget, defying critics and the challenges of drilling for gas 600km inside the Arctic Circle, where temperatures can hit minus 50C.
The project’s launch “signifies the emergence of a global LNG player”, said Denis Pereventsev, vice-president at rating agency Moody’s in Moscow. It is also a coup for Total, given how sanctions have stalled other joint venture projects in the Arctic such as plans between ExxonMobil and Rosneft.
“Together we managed to build from scratch a world-class LNG project in extreme conditions to exploit the vast gas resources of the Yamal peninsula,” said Total CEO Patrick Pouyanne. Total and Chinese energy company CNPC each own 20 per cent of the project, with 50.1 per cent held by Novatek and 9.9 per cent by China’s Silk Road Fund.
The first LNG ship, named the Christophe de Margerie after the Total CEO who died in an air crash in Russia in 2014, is the first of 15 purpose-built craft ordered for the project. Asian buyers account for 54 per cent of Yamal’s contracted output with the balance being sold to Europe.
