据道琼斯伦敦7月28日消息，壳牌首席执行长范伯登周四称，该公司正在推迟今年对路易斯安那州莱克查尔斯一个大型LNG出口设施作出最终投资决定，主要原因是目前的LNG供应过剩局面以及油价下跌情况下该公司负担该项目的能力。
这是壳牌推迟的第二个大型LNG项目。本月早些时候，壳牌表示，将推迟位于加拿大卡提玛特的一个LNG出口项目的最终投资决定。
范伯登在一次电话会议上表示：“现在不是进行大笔资本支出的时候，即使这些项目的基本面在它们的生命周期中仍看起来不错。”

Shell Defers Decision on Louisiana LNG Investment
By Selina Williams
LONDON--Royal Dutch Shell PLC is deferring a final investment decision this year on a big facility to export liquefied natural gas plant from Lake Charles, Louisiana, citing a current oversupply of the fuel and affordability of the project amid lower oil prices, the company's chief executive said Thursday.
It is the second delay Shell has made to a big LNG project. Earlier this month the Anglo-Dutch oil giant said it was delaying FID on an LNG export project in Kitimat in Canada.
"This is not the moment to commit to large-scale capital outlays, even though the fundamentals of these projects in their life cycle still look good," Ben Van Beurden said on a conference call.
