據烴加工新聞4月19日消息稱，阿魯巴國有煉油公司阿魯巴煉油廠（RdA）的董事告訴路透社，該公司計劃最早于下月與總部位于休斯頓的Eagle LNG Partners簽署一項協議，在其閑置的煉油廠建設液化天然氣進口終端。

　　Reynold Arends最近在位于阿魯巴東南部圣尼古拉斯鎮的RdA總部接受采訪時說，該終端將允許Eagle向荷蘭加勒比島的電力公司供應天然氣，取代高硫燃料油作為該國的主要發電燃料。

　　阿魯巴一直在為這個23.5萬桶/日的煉油廠尋找新的合作伙伴，該煉油廠自2012年以來基本閑置。

　　RdA還在與總部位于圣何塞的Quanten公司牽頭的財團就重啟該煉油廠的35億美元計劃進行談判。Quanten的首席執行官Jeff Meyers最近在與Arends一起接受采訪時表示，該集團將準備好在8月份開始拆除煉油廠，并在三年內讓煉油廠全面投入運營。

　　Quanten專業從事大型項目的電氣服務。

　　Arends表示，Eagle進口的天然氣也可以為該煉油廠提供動力，Eagle正在考慮將阿魯巴作為向加勒比海其他地區出口液化天然氣的樞紐。

　　Eagle發言人Linda Berndt說，公司“將繼續與RdA合作，并感謝他們對項目最終完成的支持。”

　　Aruba refinery aims to sign deal with Houston's Eagle LNG

　　Aruba's state-owned refining company Refineria di Aruba (RdA) plans to sign a deal with Houston-based Eagle LNG Partners to build an LNG import terminal on the site of its idled refinery as soon as next month, RdA's director told Reuters.

　　The terminal would allow Eagle to supply the Dutch Caribbean island's power company with natural gas, replacing high-sulfur fuel oil as the country's main fuel for generation, Reynold Arends said in a recent interview at RdA's headquarters in the town of San Nicolas at Aruba's southeastern tip.

　　Aruba has been seeking new partners for the 235,000 barrel-per-day refinery, which has been largely idled since 2012.

　　RdA is also in talks with a consortium led by San Jose-based Quanten Llc over a $3.5 billion plan to restart the refinery itself. Quanten's chief executive, Jeff Meyers, said in a recent interview alongside Arends the group would be ready to begin demolition in August and make the refinery fully operational within three years.

　　Quanten specializes in electrical services for large projects.

　　Gas imported by Eagle could also power the refinery, Arends said, and Eagle is considering using Aruba as a hub to export LNG elsewhere in the Caribbean region.

　　Eagle spokeswoman Linda Berndt said the company "continues to work with RdA and appreciates their support toward ultimate completion of the project."?
