中国石化新闻网讯 据路透社10月18日墨尔本报道，伍德塞德石油有限公司周四表示，该公司的目标是将在澳大利亚西北海域进行的大型Browse天然气项目的审批日期提前一年至2020年，预计将削减150亿美元的成本。 伍德赛德的首席财务官Sherry Duhe周四表示，由于最近在技术合同和商业协议方面取得的进展，在Browse项目中，伍德赛德的运营方和其最大股东预计将在早些时候做出最终投资决定。 从技术上讲，我们在这一点上相当有信心。我们正在取得的进展，特别是在非常迫切地签署初步协议方面，也支持了这一点。”Duhe告诉路透社。 伍德赛德公司正在推动Browse项目和同样位于澳大利亚西北部的价值110亿美元的斯卡伯勒项目，希望利用预计在21世纪20年代初出现的LNG供应缺口。 Browse是澳大利亚西北地区最大的未开发天然气资源，因为估计高达450亿美元的陆上和浮动LNG开发计划被取消了，Browse多年来一直被搁置在设计板上。 由于Browse将为现有的西北陆架LNG工厂提供原料，而不是需要新建一座工厂，所以开发成本已经大幅降低。Duhe说，承包商已经表示，可能有机会削减该项目约150亿美元成本。 荷兰皇家壳牌、英国石油和中石油，以及日本的三菱集团和三井公司，都是伍德赛德公司的合作伙伴。 澳大利亚最大的独立天然气和石油生产商伍德赛德公司公布第三季度收入增长25%，达到11.6亿美元，原因是由雪佛龙公司运营的惠斯顿LNG项目产量上升，以及石油和液化天然气价格上涨。 该季度石油当量产量从去年同期的2030万桶增加到2310万桶。 詹晓晶摘自路透社 原文如下： Woodside aims to sign-off on Australian Browse gas project in 2020 Woodside Petroleum Ltd on Thursday said it was aiming to bring forward the target date for approving the mammoth Browse gas project off northwest Australia by a year to 2020, with the $15 billion cost estimate potentially being pared. Woodside, operator and top stakeholder in Browse, expects the earlier final investment decision thanks to recent progress on technical contracts and commercial agreements for processing gas from the project, Woodside Chief Financial Officer Sherry Duhe said on Thursday. “It is something that technically we’re quite confident about at this point. And the progress that we’re making, in particular on getting very imminently to sign the preliminary agreements, is also supporting that as well,” Duhe told Reuters. “ Woodside is driving Browse and the $11 billion Scarborough project, also off northwestern Australia, looking to capitalise on an LNG supply gap expected to open up in the early 2020s. Browse, the biggest undeveloped gas resource off northwestern Australia, has been stuck on the drawing board for years as plans for onshore and floating LNG developments estimated at up to $45 billion were scrapped. The development cost has been slashed as Browse will now feed the existing North West Shelf LNG plant, rather than requiring a new plant to be built. And contractors have indicated there might be opportunities to trim the estimated $15 billion cost of the project, Duhe said. Royal Dutch Shell, BP and PetroChina, along with Japan’s Mitsubishi Corp and Mitsui & Co, are Woodside’s partners in Browse. Woodside, Australia’s largest independent gas and oil producer, reported a 25-percent jump in third-quarter revenue to $1.16 billion, underpinned by rising output at the Wheatstone LNG project, run by Chevron Corp, and higher oil and LNG prices. Production for the quarter rose to 23.1 million barrels of oil equivalent (mmboe) from 20.3 mmboe at the same time last year. |
