挪威Equinor从汉斯汀天然气田开始生产

中国石化新闻网讯 据普氏能源资讯伦敦12月17日消息，挪威Equinor已开始在挪威海的Aasta Hansteen大型天然气气田生产天然气，该气田是几个旨在抵消挪威大陆架其他地区天然气产量下降的关键油田之一。

Aasta Hansteen是挪威海的第一个深水开发项目，是NCS最深的开发项目，深度1300米，根据挪威国家石油公司先前指导预计将以1200万立方米/天的速度启动。

汉斯汀气田预计储量约为470亿立方米，其天然气处理能力为2300万立方米/天，并通过新的480公里Polarled管道与尼汉纳天然气处理设施相连。

Equinor在一份声明中表示：“Aasta Hansteen气田今天(星期一)首次向市场供应天然气，并与Polarled管道一起开辟了向欧洲出口天然气的新区域。”

汉斯汀气田的投资总额为39亿欧元，其最新的指导方针在今年第四季度启动，虽然该气田的开发进度落后于原定计划，最初预计将于2017年底投产。

汉斯汀本身预计产量可达1500万立方米/日，但该平台还将从Equinor运营的Snefrid Nord卫星油田采集天然气，预计将于2019年底投产。

汉斯汀和Snefrid Nord的总储量约为550亿立方米。

Equinor挪威发展和生产执行副总裁Arne Sigve Nylund表示：“来自Aasta Hansteen的产量将有助于确保挪威天然气的长期出口。”

Norway's Equinor start production from major Aasta Hansteen gas field

Norway's Equinor has begun natural gas production at the major Aasta Hansteen field in the Norwegian Sea, one of several key fields designed to offset falling gas output elsewhere on the Norwegian Continental Shelf.

Aasta Hansteen -- which is expected to start at a rate of some 12 million cu m/d according to previous guidance from Equinor -- is the first deepwater development in the Norwegian Sea and at 1,300 meters the deepest development on the NCS.

The platform at Hansteen, which has estimated reserves of some 47 Bcm, will have a gas processing capacity of 23 million cu m/d and is linked to the Nyhamna gas processing facility via the new 480 km Polarled pipeline.

"Gas from the Aasta Hansteen field is available to the market for the first time today [Monday] and together with the Polarled pipeline the field opens a new region for gas exports to Europe," Equinor said in a statement.

The most recent guidance for the startup of Hansteen -- whose investments have totaled Eur3.9 billion -- was the fourth quarter of this year, though the field is behind schedule, having originally been expected to begin production by the end of 2017.

Hansteen itself is expected to produce up to 15 million cu m/d, but the platform will also take gas from the Equinor-operated Snefrid Nord satellite field which is expected to start production toward the end of 2019.

Combined, Hansteen and Snefrid Nord have reserves of some 55 Bcm.

"The production from Aasta Hansteen will help secure long-term Norwegian gas exports," Arne Sigve Nylund, Equinor's executive vice president for Development and Production Norway, said.
