Enagas profit climbs 17.6 pct in 2017

Spanish LNG terminal operator, Enagás reported a net profit of 490.8 million euros ($606.6 million) in 2017, a rise of 17.6 percent year-on-year.

This figure includes the accounting impact produced by the full consolidation of GNL Quintero, the Chilean regasification plant, since January 2017, the Spanish company said.

Standalone net profit was 437.7 million euros, reflecting 5 percent growth on 2016. Enagás says this was in line with the targets set for the year.

The company added that this increase was mainly the result of the contribution from affiliate companies, which accounted for 19.6 percent of the total.

Enagás expects to end 2018 with a net profit of about 443 million euros which, according to the company, is in line with the target set for 2016–2020 of 3 percent average yearly growth.

Spain’s imports of liquefied natural gas (LNG) in December rose over 61 percent compared to the same month in 2015.

According to the data provided by the Spanish LNG terminal operator, Enagás, LNG imports reached 20.2 terawatt hours (TWh) in December 2016, as compared to 12.5 TWh in the corresponding month a year ago.

The majority of imports came from Nigeria and Peru, followed by volumes from Algeria, Qatar, Angola and Norway.

Spain’s total natural gas imports reached 40 TWh, showing a 20 percent increase from 33.4 TWh in December 2015.

The cold snap that hit most of Europe did not avoid Spain as average temperature recorded during December has been 1.1ºC below that recorded during the same month in 2015.

Enagás’ Sagunto regasification plant received seven out of the total 25 LNG cargoes imported into Spain during the month under review. Enagás’ report shows that the Huelva LNG import terminal received six cargoes, four landed in Barcelona, Cartagena and Bilbao import terminals received three cargoes each while two were delivered to the Mugardos LNG terminal.

According to the report, Spain, the world’s largest re-exporter of liquefied natural gas, did not re-export any cargoes during the month of December 2016.

Enagas ups stake in Peru’s TgP to 28.94%


Spanish gas transporter Enagas has completed its purchase of a 2.96% stake in Transportadora de Gas del Peru (TgP), as it continues to reinforce its position in the company.

The new acquisition, which was first announced in mid-October, takes the firm’s total stake in the Peruvian gas pipeline operator to 28.94%.

It acquired the stake from French power firm Engie. At the same time, Engie sold the rest of its stake in TgP to Canada Pension Plan Investment Board (CPPIB).

The final purchase price was US$63 million rather than the previously stated US$65 million, Enagas said in a statement to the Spanish stock exchange regulator CNMV.

Following the deal, CPPIB will have a 49.88% stake in TgP, while Sipco Peru Pipelines will have the remaining 21.18% stake in the company.

TgP, which began operating commercially in 2004, transports most of Peru’s natural gas. Its assets include the 729-km gas pipeline that connects the giant Amazonian Camisea gas fields to the province of Lima.

The Spanish utility has been steadily expanding its ownership of TgP in the last two years, including the acquisition of a 1.24% stake in April and a 3.94% stake last year, among others.

The Madrid-headquartered firm originally acquired a 20% stake in TgP in 2014. At the same time, it purchased a 30% stake in Compania Operadora de Gas del Amazonas, which operates and maintains TgP’s transmission system.

The Spanish utility is also a member of the consortium developing the US$6 billion Gasoducto Sur Peruano pipeline, which will initially transport 500 mmcf (14 mcm) per day of gas from the central Amazonian region to the industrial south of Peru.

Enagas also owns another pipeline in the country, which carries gas liquids from Camisea to the Pisco fractioning plant on Peru’s southern Pacific coastline.

Present in the Andean nation since 2014, Enagas has said it will help Peru improve its security of supply. Besides Peru, Enagas also has Latin American assets in Mexico and Chile, including stakes in Mexican gasification plant TLA Altamira and its Chilean equivalent GNL Quintero.

Enagas: first LNG truck loading performed at Huelva terminal


Spanish LNG terminal operator Enagas said that first truck loading operations have recently been completed at the Huelva LNG facility.

The LNG was loaded in containers in two separate operations and dispatched to the Canary islands, first by truck to the Cadiz port and further by ferry, Enagas said.

According to Enagas, Carnary islands are the only region in Spain not classified, and it is using LNG to introduce natural gas while the transmission facilities are being developed.

Enagás plans to build a regasification plant in Tenerife, the company noted in its statement.

The project, which obtained its environmental impact statement (EIS) from the agriculture, food and the environment ministry, is awaiting receipt of administrative authorisation from the industry, energy and tourism ministry, which is required in order to commence construction.

Enagas acquires Endesa’s stake in GNL Quintero

Spanish LNG terminal operator Enagas on Thursday said it has, through its unit, Enagas Chile, reached a deal to acquire the total Endesa Chile stake in GNL Quintero for US$200 million.

With the acquisition of Endesa’s 20 percent stake, Enagas would up its total stake in the plant to 40.4 percent, the company said in its statement.

Enagas improving LNG loading services

Spanish LNG operator Enagás said it is improving its LNG tanker loading services and has carried out a series of measures at the company’s LNG plants.

These include the reduction of boil-off losses. According to Enagás, during the latest loadings at the company’s Huelva and Barcelona LNG plants, boil-off losses were reduced to zero.

The company has also made improvements in the loading rate. During the latest loading at the Barcelona plant an average rate of 3,500 m3 LNG/h, was achieved, peaking at 4,000 m3 LNG/h, Enagás added.

Enagás currently operates five of the seven plants in Spain: Barcelona, Cartagena, Huelva, BBG (Bilbao, 40%) and El Musel.

It also co-owns the Altamira regasification plant (Mexico), and is the main shareholder in GNL Quintero terminal (Chile).
