據(jù)4月17日油田技術(shù)報(bào)道，殼牌澳大利亞公司已做出最終投資決定（FID）開發(fā)Arrow Energy項(xiàng)目，這是澳大利亞昆士蘭州的蘇拉特天然氣項(xiàng)目的第一階段。

該決定將以最高產(chǎn)量每年高達(dá)900億 ft3/年的天然氣推向市場(chǎng)，這些天然氣將流向殼牌運(yùn)營(yíng)的QGC，在當(dāng)?shù)劁N售，并通過柯蒂斯島的工廠出口。

殼牌綜合天然氣與新能源總監(jiān)Maarten Wetselaar表示：“利用QGC現(xiàn)有的上游管道和處理設(shè)施，Arrow能夠顯著降低開發(fā)成本，使該項(xiàng)目具有競(jìng)爭(zhēng)力和經(jīng)濟(jì)吸引力。Arrow合資伙伴決定不在柯蒂斯島上再建另外兩條生產(chǎn)線，這為該資源的市場(chǎng)開發(fā)創(chuàng)造了機(jī)會(huì)。我們對(duì)這項(xiàng)投資采取的方法與殼牌公司積極管理所有運(yùn)營(yíng)和財(cái)務(wù)杠桿來實(shí)現(xiàn)可持續(xù)現(xiàn)金流產(chǎn)生的方法是一致。這反映了我們對(duì)資本支出的嚴(yán)謹(jǐn)態(tài)度，從長(zhǎng)期的角度審視了供需基本面。”

殼牌澳大利亞董事長(zhǎng)托尼·努南（Tony Nunan）說：“自2015年12月投入運(yùn)營(yíng)以來，QGC的產(chǎn)量一直保持強(qiáng)勁和穩(wěn)定，Arrow擁有強(qiáng)大的技術(shù)能力，可以創(chuàng)新高效地開發(fā)蘇拉特盆地油田。2019年，QGC供應(yīng)了澳大利亞東海岸國(guó)內(nèi)天然氣市場(chǎng)16%的需求，并迎來了第500批液化天然氣。Arrow的天然氣將為澳大利亞國(guó)內(nèi)客戶和出口市場(chǎng)提供更多的供應(yīng)。”

該項(xiàng)目將于2020年開工建設(shè)，預(yù)計(jì)2021年將實(shí)現(xiàn)首次天然氣銷售。

Shell invests in Surat gas project

Shell Australia has taken a final investment decision (FID) to develop the first phase of Arrow Energy’s Surat gas project in Queensland, Australia.

The decision will bring up to 90 billion ft3/year of new gas to market at peak production, which will flow to Shell-operated QGC to be sold locally and exported through its plant on Curtis Island.

“The utilisation of QGC’s existing upstream pipelines and treatment facilities enables Arrow to significantly reduce development costs, making the project competitive and economically attractive,” said Maarten Wetselaar, Integrated Gas and New Energies Director at Shell. “The Arrow joint venture partners’ decision not to build another two trains on Curtis Island provided the opportunity to create this alternative pathway to market for the resource. The approach we have taken to this investment is aligned with Shell’s focus on actively managing all operational and financial levers to deliver sustainable cash flow generation. It reflects our disciplined approach to capital spend, which takes a long-term view of the fundamentals of supply and demand.”

“QGC has reached strong and stable production since its start up in December 2015, and Arrow has the strong technical capability to develop the Surat Basin fields innovatively and efficiently,” said Shell Australia Chairman Tony Nunan. “QGC supplied 16% of the demand in the Australian east coast domestic gas market in 2019 and celebrated its 500th LNG cargo. Gas from Arrow will provide more supply to both Australian domestic customers and export markets.”

Construction of the project will commence in 2020, with first gas sales expected in 2021.
