卡塔尔石油公司（Petronet LNG，简称PLNG.NS）的一名高管于周二表示，卡塔尔愿意考虑印度提出的在其续签的供应协议中纳入美国采购的液化天然气的请求，这将帮助新德里在伊朗战争造成的供应中断后实现进口多元化。
Qatar is willing to consider India's request to include US-sourced LNG under its renewed supply deal, helping New Delhi diversify its imports following disruptions caused by the Iran war, a senior Petronet LNG (PLNG.NS) executive said on Tuesday.
印度最大液化天然气进口商印度国营液化天然气有限公司（Petronet LNG Ltd）的集团总经理维韦克·米塔尔（Vivek Mittal）在分析师电话会议上表示，该公司正与卡塔尔进行会谈，以根据2028年开始的长期合同从美国采购部分液化天然气。
India's top gas importer Petronet LNG Ltd is in talks with Qatar to source some LNG from the US under its long-term contract from 2028, Petronet's group general manager Vivek Mittal said during an analyst call.
卡塔尔是印度最大的液化天然气供应商，目前拥有一项每年向印度国营液化天然气有限公司供应750万公吨燃料的合同。该协议将于2028年4月到期，目前已续签20年至2048年，卡塔尔将以交货基准供应货物。
Qatar, India's largest LNG supplier, currently has a contract to supply Petronet with 7.5 million metric tons of the fuel annually. The deal, which expires in April 2028, has been renewed for another 20 years until 2048, and Qatar would supply cargoes on a delivered basis.
米塔尔在回答印度是否正在寻求通过与卡塔尔的长期协议获得美国液化天然气的问题时表示：“毫无疑问，我们已经与卡塔尔进行了一些讨论，以在2028年开始生效的续签合同下实现供应多元化。”
"Definitely we have had some discussion with Qatar to diversify supply under the renewed contract, which will start in 2028," Mittal said, in response to a question on whether India is seeking US LNG under the long-term deal with Qatar.
米塔尔称，卡塔尔愿意考虑这家印度公司的请求，并可能提供“他们已锁定的其他来源的一定比例的货量”。
Qatar is willing to consider the Indian company's request and could offer "certain portion of volume from other sources which they have tied up," Mittal said.
卡塔尔能源公司上个月签署了一项为期20年的协议，每年从伍德赛德公司的美国设施购买300万公吨液化天然气，预计将于2030年开始交货。该公司还与切尼尔能源公司签署了两项协议，通过其萨比恩帕斯和科珀斯克里斯蒂工厂在2054年之前每年供应多达400万公吨的液化天然气。
QatarEnergy last month signed a 20-year agreement to buy 3 million metric tons per year from Woodside's US facilities, with deliveries expected to start in 2030. It also signed two agreements with Cheniere Energy for up to 4 million tons per year through 2054 from its Sabine Pass and Corpus Christi plants.
由于伊朗战争导致霍尔木兹海峡被封锁以及拉斯拉凡设施遭到袭击，卡塔尔能源公司于3月宣布对液化天然气供应实施不可抗力。目前，该不可抗力将持续到12月。
QatarEnergy declared force majeure on LNG supplies in March after the Iran war led to the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz and attacks on its Ras Laffan facilities. The force majeure runs through December for now.
中东危机促使印度寻求替代供应来源，并从美国、阿曼、尼日利亚、安哥拉和澳大利亚等国的超低温天然气进行采购。
The Middle East crisis has prompted India to seek alternative supplies, with purchases of super-chilled gas from countries spanning the US, Oman, Nigeria, Angola and Australia.
由于对卡塔尔供应实施不可抗力，印度国营液化天然气有限公司还暂停了三艘液化天然气油轮的定期租船协议。
Petronet has also suspended time charter agreements for three LNG tankers due to the force majeure on Qatari supplies.
