ConocoPhillips, un gigante energ\u00e9tico con sede en Houston y uno de los mayores productores de petr\u00f3leo y gas del mundo, ha firmado un acuerdo a largo plazo para adquirir gas natural licuado de la terminal de exportaci\u00f3n de GNL de R\u00edo Grande, cuya construcci\u00f3n est\u00e1 prevista en el puerto de Brownsville \u2014un compromiso que conectar\u00eda el sur de Texas directamente con los mercados energ\u00e9ticos mundiales una vez que avance la construcci\u00f3n de la siguiente fase del proyecto.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Acuerdo vinculado a los planes de expansi\u00f3n<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

En virtud del acuerdo, de 20 a\u00f1os de duraci\u00f3n, ConocoPhillips comprar\u00eda alrededor de 1 mill\u00f3n de toneladas de gas natural licuado al a\u00f1o \u2014una cantidad suficiente, aproximadamente, para abastecer de energ\u00eda a m\u00e1s de 1,4 millones de hogares estadounidenses al a\u00f1o\u2014 una vez que el promotor del proyecto, NextDecade Corp., d\u00e9 luz verde a la construcci\u00f3n del Tren 5, una unidad de producci\u00f3n propuesta que ampliar\u00eda la capacidad de la instalaci\u00f3n m\u00e1s all\u00e1 de los tres primeros trenes que ya se encuentran en construcci\u00f3n.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Esa autorizaci\u00f3n, conocida como \u00abdecisi\u00f3n definitiva de inversi\u00f3n\u00bb (FID), la adopta el consejo de administraci\u00f3n de NextDecade y determina cu\u00e1ndo puede comenzar la construcci\u00f3n. Cada \u00abtren\u00bb de la planta funciona como una l\u00ednea de producci\u00f3n que enfr\u00eda el gas natural hasta convertirlo en l\u00edquido, de modo que pueda enviarse al extranjero.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Autorizaciones federales ya concedidas<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Las autoridades reguladoras federales ya han dado luz verde al proyecto.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

La Comisi\u00f3n Federal Reguladora de la Energ\u00eda (FERC) aprob\u00f3 en 2019 la terminal de GNL de R\u00edo Grande, con una capacidad total de seis trenes, y reafirm\u00f3 dicha aprobaci\u00f3n en 2023 tras una evaluaci\u00f3n ambiental complementaria, a ra\u00edz de los recursos judiciales interpuestos por los impactos sobre la calidad del aire y el h\u00e1bitat.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

El Departamento de Energ\u00eda de Estados Unidos (DOE) tambi\u00e9n ha concedido autorizaciones de exportaci\u00f3n a pa\u00edses que no forman parte de un acuerdo de libre comercio, lo que significa que la construcci\u00f3n de las fases futuras podr\u00e1 continuar una vez que el consejo de administraci\u00f3n de NextDecade apruebe la financiaci\u00f3n mediante su decisi\u00f3n de inversi\u00f3n definitiva (FID).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

El GNL \u2014o gas natural licuado\u2014 es gas natural enfriado hasta aproximadamente -260 grados Fahrenheit hasta que se convierte en l\u00edquido, lo que permite almacenarlo y transportarlo por mar a pa\u00edses que dependen de combustible importado.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A medida que aumenta la demanda mundial, sobre todo en Europa y Asia, empresas como ConocoPhillips est\u00e1n firmando contratos de suministro a largo plazo con exportadores con sede en Texas.<\/p>\n\n\n

ConocoPhillips tambi\u00e9n tiene previsto aplicar su tecnolog\u00eda OCP CryoSep en la planta para eliminar los hidrocarburos pesados durante el proceso de licuefacci\u00f3n, lo que mejorar\u00e1 la eficiencia y la calidad del combustible.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

La empresa ya cuenta con un acuerdo independiente para adquirir 5 millones de toneladas al a\u00f1o de la fase 1 del proyecto Port Arthur LNG, un proyecto que Sempra Infrastructure est\u00e1 desarrollando en Port Arthur, Texas. Esa cantidad es cinco veces mayor que el compromiso de Brownsville \u2014suficiente GNL para abastecer anualmente el equivalente a unos 7 millones de hogares estadounidenses\u2014, lo que pone de relieve la estrategia m\u00e1s amplia de la empresa para expandir sus operaciones de GNL a lo largo de la costa del Golfo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

El papel cada vez m\u00e1s importante de Brownsville en el comercio energ\u00e9tico mundial<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Para Brownsville, este acuerdo pone de relieve el auge de la ciudad como centro de exportaciones energ\u00e9ticas y crecimiento industrial.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rio Grande LNG forma parte de los proyectos de infraestructura, por valor de m\u00e1s de 20 000 millones de d\u00f3lares, que se est\u00e1n llevando a cabo o est\u00e1n previstos a lo largo del canal navegable de Brownsville; unas inversiones que incluyen la construcci\u00f3n naval, las importaciones de acero y las instalaciones de almacenamiento de combustible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

El \u00abRio Grande Valley Business Journal\u00bb<\/em><\/a> ya se hab\u00eda hecho eco anteriormente de la venta, por valor de 50,6 millones de d\u00f3lares, de uno de los astilleros m\u00e1s grandes del Golfo a una empresa energ\u00e9tica de Houston, as\u00ed como de los recientes despidos en Seatrium AmFELS, dos indicios de c\u00f3mo el sector energ\u00e9tico est\u00e1 transformando la base industrial de Brownsville.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Para el Valle del R\u00edo Grande, la participaci\u00f3n de ConocoPhillips es una muestra de confianza en que Brownsville est\u00e1 en condiciones de desempe\u00f1ar un papel fundamental en la pr\u00f3xima oleada de exportaciones energ\u00e9ticas de Texas, conectando el gas natural con los mercados de todo el mundo.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
