中国石化新闻网讯 据路透社墨尔本报道，私人拥有的西方天然气公司表示，它已任命高盛为其在西澳大利亚价值35亿美元的Equus天然气项目寻找合作伙伴提供建议，因为该公司的目标是从2024年开始生产。 西方天然气公司希望利用年产能为200万吨的浮动液化天然气（LNG）设施来开发油田，而不是像该油田的前所有者赫斯公司所设想的那样，将更大的现有设施注入油田。 西方天然气执行董事安德鲁·莱博维奇在一份声明中表示："Equus处于正确的发展阶段，在这个阶段，引入一个有经验和有经济能力的合作伙伴可以帮助项目取得进展，首先实现更大的Equus区域的价值。” 西方天然气拒绝就该项目的经济状况发表评论，但表示，工程公司McDermott国际公司和贝克休斯为Equus设计了一个具有全球竞争力的中型LNG开发计划，涉及浮动生产储存和卸载 (FPSO)设施，该设施拥有一条160公里（100英里）的管道连接到一个200万吨/年的浮动LNG设施。 该项目将与同样位于西澳大利亚的伍德赛德石油公司牵头的大型新开发项目展开竞争，后者的设计是为西北陆架LNG工厂提供原料，并扩建伍德赛德的Pluto LNG工厂。 为了实现 2024年 Equus 首次生产的目标，西部天然气需要在 2020年对该项目做出最终投资决定。 詹晓晶 摘自 路透社 原文如下： Western Gas seeks partner for Equus LNG project off Western Australia Privately owned Western Gas said it has appointed Goldman Sachs to advise on finding a partner for its Equus gas project off Western Australia, as it aims to start producing from the $3.5 billion project in 2024. Western Gas wants to develop the field using a 2 million tonnes a year (mtpa) floating liquefied natural gas (LNG) facility, rather than feeding into larger existing facilities as contemplated by the field’s previous owner, Hess Corp. “Equus is at the right stage of development where the introduction of an experienced and financially capable partner can help progress the project to first gas and realize the value of the greater Equus area,” Western Gas Executive Director Andrew Leibovitch said in a statement on Tuesday. Western Gas declined to comment on the economics of the project, but said engineering firms McDermott International and Baker Hughes had designed a “globally competitive, mid-scale LNG development plan” for Equus, involving a floating production storage and offtake (FPSO) facility, with a 160 km (100 mile) pipeline hooked up to a 2 mtpa floating LNG facility. The project will be competing against large new developments led by Woodside Petroleum, also off Western Australia, designed to feed the North West Shelf LNG plant and an expansion of Woodside’s Pluto LNG plant. To achieve its target of first production from Equus in 2024, Western Gas will need to make a final investment decision on the project in 2020.
