阿特拉斯天然气管道开工建设

中国石化新闻网讯 据管道新闻网7月8日消息称，继能源基础设施公司Jemena今天开始建设阿特拉斯天然气管道后，澳大利亚天然气消费者将很快从新的天然气供应中获益。阿特拉斯天然气管道位于昆士兰州旺多安西南约20公里处，这条长60公里、内径8英寸、钢质涂层的天然气管道与压缩机一同埋在地底，它将由Jemena及其合作伙伴共同建造，该管道将把Senex能源公司阿特拉斯气田的天然气通过沃伦比亚天然气枢纽连接到东海岸天然气市场。

阿特拉斯天然气田是昆士兰州第一个仅供应国内天然气的气田，所有天然气都指定供应国内市场。

Jemena天然气市场执行总经理Antoon Boey表示，阿特拉斯项目的建设和调试预计将在2019年底前完成。

Boey先生说：“我们目前正处于施工的早期阶段，现场约有90人在进行清理、分级和串绳作业，我们预计这项工作将在未来几周迅速提速。”

“阿特拉斯管道和处理设施的设计目的是，一旦阿特拉斯生产区获得更多的天然气储备，就能进一步扩大规模。”

Jemena最近向Spiecapag澳大利亚公司授予了一份价值2000万澳元的合同，用于建造阿特拉斯天然气管道，而澳大利亚能源和基础设施服务集团Valmec已被任命建造阿特拉斯压缩机站。总体而言，Jemena将投资约1.4亿澳元用于建设阿特拉斯天然气管道项目，该项目预计将在昆士兰州提供约150至200个就业岗位。

Construction of the Atlas Gas Pipeline commences

Australian gas consumers will soon benefit from new gas supplies after energy infrastructure company, Jemena, commenced construction of the Atlas Gas Pipeline today. Located approximately 20 km southwest of Wandoan in Queensland, the Atlas Gas Pipeline Project will see Jemena and its partners construct a 60 km, 8 in. steel-coated, buried gas pipeline and compressor station, which will connect gas from Senex Energy’s Atlas gas field to the east-coast gas market via the Wallumbilla Gas Hub.

The Atlas acreage is Queensland’s first domestic-only gas supply with all gas ear-marked for the domestic market.

Jemena’s Executive General Manager of Gas Markets, Antoon Boey, said construction and commissioning of the Atlas project is expected to be complete before the end of 2019.

“We are currently in the early stages of construction, with around 90 people on site conducting clear and grade and stringing activities, and we expect this work to ramp up quickly over the coming weeks,” said Mr Boey.

“The Atlas pipeline and processing facility have been designed to enable further expansion once additional gas reserves become available from the Atlas production area.”

Jemena recently awarded Spiecapag Australia a AUS$20 million contract to construct the Atlas Gas Pipeline, while Australian energy and infrastructure services group, Valmec, has been appointed to construct the Atlas Compressor Station. In total, Jemena will invest around AUS$140 million to construct the Atlas Gas Pipeline Project which is expected to create around 150 to 200 jobs in Queensland.
