市場の話題:トルコ、エネルギー安全保障強化のため4500万バレルの石油貯蔵量を大幅に増強する計画

By

-- トルコは原油貯蔵能力を100万バレルから4500万バレルに拡大する計画で、エネルギー安全保障の強化に向けた大きな一歩となる、とトルコの日刊紙イェニ・シャファクが日曜に報じた。 BOTASのゼネラルマネージャー、アブドゥルヴァヒト・フィダン氏は、タンクファーム・プロジェクトによってジェイハンの貯蔵能力が大幅に向上し、供給リスクへの対応力強化と地域エネルギー市場における役割強化につながると述べた。 同社はこのプロジェクトで40基の新たな石油貯蔵タンクを建設する計画で、インフラを大幅に拡張し、価格変動期における供給安定化のための大規模な備蓄バッファーを構築する。 フィダン氏によると、BOTASは段階的に投資を進め、2026年に6基のタンク建設を開始し、2028年には第1段階を稼働させる予定だという。 プロジェクト全体は2030年から2031年の間に完了し、長期的な貯蔵能力の向上と、エネルギー市場の変動への対応力強化につながると、同紙は付け加えた。 フィダン氏は、拡張された貯蔵システムを、供給ショック時に国を守り、世界の石油市場の混乱に対する脆弱性を軽減する戦略的な安全策だと説明した。 報告書によると、BOTASは2028年までにコンプレッサーステーションを9カ所から12カ所に、ユニット数を32基から41基に増やし、容量を約20%増強する計画だとフィダン氏は述べた。 フィダン氏によると、トルコは2019年以降、ヨーロッパに約1,000億立方メートルの天然ガスを供給しており、6大陸39カ国とエネルギー貿易関係を維持している。 液化天然ガス(LNG)については、トルコは再ガス化能力を1億6,100万立方メートルから2億立方メートル以上に増強し、供給の柔軟性をさらに強化すると述べた。 報告書によると、フィダン氏は、これらの投資はトルコを世界の主要エネルギープレーヤーの地位に押し上げ、インフラと供給能力においてトップレベルの地位を目指すものだと述べた。 地中海エネルギー規制当局のハサン・オズコチ事務局長は、トルコが欧州連合の電力市場規制との整合性を95%以上達成しており、これは地域エネルギー枠組みとの強力な規制統合を反映していると述べた。 欧州復興開発銀行(EBRD)のトルコ・コーカサス地域担当マネージャー、ダビッド・マナガゼ氏は、同行のポートフォリオは650億ユーロ(763億2000万ドル)に達し、トルコがそのうち30%を占めている一方、トルコへのエネルギー投資は10億ユーロを超えていると述べた。 トルコのボタシュ社とエネルギー天然資源省は、MTニュースワイヤーズのコメント要請にすぐには応じなかった。 (マーケットチャッターのニュースは、世界中の市場専門家との会話に基づいています。この情報は信頼できる情報源に基づいていると考えられますが、噂や憶測が含まれる可能性があります。正確性は保証されません。)

United Airlines CEO Confirms Approach to American Regarding Potential Merger

United Airlines (UAL) Chief Executive Scott Kirby confirmed Monday that he approached fellow carrier American Airlines (AAL) about a possible merger, but the latter declined to engage and closed the door on a deal.A potential combination between the two companies could have expanded service to "smaller communities," increased the total number of economy seats in the marketplace, offered affordable prices to customers and built a more globally competitive US airline, Kirby said in a statement. The merger could have boosted the US economy and created "millions of jobs," among other benefits, Kirby added."I was hoping to pitch that story to American, but they declined to engage and instead responded by publicly closing the door," Kirby said. "Without a willing partner, something this big simply can't get done."American Airlines didn't immediately respond to' request for comment.American Airlines shares were down 2.7% in Monday afternoon trade, while United Airlines fell 1.4%.Earlier this month, American Airlines said it wasn't interested in any talks regarding a merger with United Airlines, adding that it would be "negative for competition and for consumers." Any deal would also have been "inconsistent" with the Trump administration's philosophy towards the industry and antitrust law, the company said at the time.During an earnings conference call with analysts last week, American Airlines CEO Robert Isom said a potential combination with United Airlines would have been "anticompetitive.""Everybody that has weighed in suggests the same thing," Isom told analysts, according to a FactSet transcript. "Bad for customers, bad for the industry, and then ultimately -- that'd be bad for American Airlines."American Airlines' public comments "make it clear that a merger like this is off the table for the foreseeable future," Kirby said Monday.US President Donald Trump reportedly voiced his opposition to the combination in a recent interview with CNBC, saying he didn't "like" having the two airlines merge.Last week, American Airlines reported that its first-quarter adjusted per-share loss narrowed year over year, while operating revenue increased. The carrier cut its 2026 earnings outlook at the time. Separately, United Airlines reported better-than-expected first-quarter results, but lowered its full-year earnings outlook amid rising fuel costs.Price: $91.69, Change: $-1.31, Percent Change: -1.41%
