據(jù)天然氣資訊6月21日消息稱，未來5年，澳大利亞油氣行業(yè)將向昆士蘭州提供近60億澳元的特許權(quán)使用費(fèi)，昆士蘭州的液化天然氣出口項(xiàng)目將為社區(qū)帶來直接利益。

該行業(yè)的收入預(yù)計(jì)將從去年的27億澳元增長到59億澳元，比預(yù)期增長一倍多，這相當(dāng)于每年為18萬澳大利亞人提供醫(yī)療保健，或每年建造20所新小學(xué)。

澳大利亞石油生產(chǎn)協(xié)會(huì)昆士蘭主管Matt paul表示，該州的預(yù)算顯示，該州將繼續(xù)受益于其對(duì)油氣行業(yè)的投資和長期支持。

paul說：“隨著石油和天然氣使用費(fèi)的飆升，昆士蘭州政府每年將獲得超過10億澳元的收入，昆士蘭州民眾將通過重要的新公共服務(wù)和基礎(chǔ)設(shè)施，從政府對(duì)該行業(yè)的支持中受益。

“盡管這些數(shù)字很大，但我們的經(jīng)濟(jì)貢獻(xiàn)遠(yuǎn)遠(yuǎn)超過了專利費(fèi)用數(shù)字——直接支持了昆士蘭州天然氣行業(yè)供應(yīng)鏈上超過3萬個(gè)工作崗位，促進(jìn)了地區(qū)增長，并為家庭和企業(yè)提供安全可靠的能源。

“最近澳大利亞東海岸能源系統(tǒng)的壓力凸顯了天然氣在清潔能源未來的重要性，尤其是昆士蘭工業(yè)，為南部各州提供能源供應(yīng)，取代煤炭作為低排放燃料，并在太陽不亮、風(fēng)不刮的情況下穩(wěn)定可再生能源。

“我們的行業(yè)能夠?yàn)榘拇罄麃喨颂峁┠茉窗踩Ｕ?，是因?yàn)槔ナ刻m州政府采取了明智的措施，使其能源供應(yīng)多樣化，并在十多年來支持天然氣和液化天然氣的增長。

“這表明，強(qiáng)勁的出口行業(yè)帶來了非常切實(shí)的好處，它也支撐了國內(nèi)其他供應(yīng)需求?！?/p>

Australia’s oil and gas industry royalties to double

Australia’s oil and gas industry will deliver almost AUS$6 billion of royalties to the Queensland Budget over the next five years, providing a direct benefit to the community from Queensland’s LNG export projects.

Revenue from the sector is set to more than double over the forward estimates to AUS$5.9 billion from AUS$2.7 billion forecast last year – the equivalent of providing healthcare for more than 180 000 Australians every year, or building 20 new primary schools every year.

Australian Petroleum Production & Association (APPEA) Queensland Director Matt Paull said the State budget showed the state was continuing to benefit from its investment and long running support of the oil and gas industry.

“With oil and gas royalties surging and now set to deliver the Queensland Government over AUS$1 billion a year going forward, Queenslanders will benefit from the state’s backing of the sector through vital new public services and infrastructure,” Mr Paull said.

“As big as these numbers are, our economic contribution is far greater than just royalty figures – directly supporting over 30 000 jobs across Queensland’s gas industry supply chain, facilitating regional growth, and delivering safe and reliable energy to homes and businesses.

“Recent east coast energy system pressures have highlighted the importance of gas in a cleaner energy future and particularly the Queensland industry, providing supply to southern states, replacing coal as a lower emitting fuel and stabilising renewables when the sun does not shine and the wind does not blow.

“Our industry can provide this energy security to Australians because the Queensland Government has done the sensible thing and diversified its energy supplies and supported growth in natural gas and LNG for more than a decade.

“This shows there are very real benefits from a strong export industry, which has also underpinned extra domestic supply.”
