伍德赛德和必和必拓调整斯卡伯勒气田的权益

中国石化新闻网讯 据全球能源新闻网2月27日报道，伍德赛德和必和必拓已经同意调整他们在WA-1-R（斯卡伯勒）和WA-62-R（北斯卡伯勒）的参与权益，在每个区域伍德赛德持有73.5%的利权益，而必和必拓持有26.5%的权益。伍德赛德和必和必拓也同意申请这两个区域的生产许可。该协议须经监管部门批准。

伍德赛德首席执行官彼得·科尔曼（Peter Coleman）表示，将这些权益结合起来将支持斯卡伯勒（Scarborough）气田在这两个区域的发展，并显示出合资公司对今年做出最终投资决定的坚定承诺。“这是世界一流的澳大利亚资源。 生产许可证申请是通过扩展我们现有的Pluto LNG设备来释放斯卡伯勒资源的全部价值的另一个关键步骤。斯卡伯勒气田的估算或有资源干气量为11.1 万亿立方英尺（100％； 伍德赛德的份额为8.2 万亿立方英尺，使用确定性和概率方法计算）。伍德赛德的目标是在2020年为斯卡伯勒开发和2024年的首批货物作出最后投资决定。

斯卡伯勒气田是位于西澳大利亚海岸埃克茅斯西北印度洋的一个天然气田。伍德赛德于2018年购买了埃克森美孚保留租赁的50％股份，增加到其于2016年从必和必拓收购的25％股份。

伍德赛德计划开发斯卡伯勒资源，将12条海底高速率气井绑在一个停在900米水中的半潜式水平台上。

WOODSIDE AND BHP ALIGN INTERESTS ACROSS SCARBOROUGH FIELD

Woodside and BHP have agreed to align their participating interests across the WA-1-R (Scarborough) and WA-62-R (North Scarborough) titles, resulting in Woodside holding a 73.5% interest and BHP holding a 26.5% interest in each title. Woodside and BHP have also agreed to apply for Production Licences in respect of both titles. The agreement is subject to regulatory approvals.

Woodside CEO Peter Coleman said that aligning these interests will support the development of the Scarborough field across the two titles and demonstrates the strong commitment of the joint venture to making a final investment decision this year. “This is a world-class Australian resource. The Production Licence applications are another key step to unlocking the full value of the Scarborough resource through the expansion of our existing Pluto LNG facility,” he said. The Scarborough field contains an estimated contingent resource dry gas volume of 11.1 Tcf (100%; 8.2 Tcf Woodside share, calculated using deterministic and probabilistic methods). Woodside is targeting a final investment decision in 2020 for the Scarborough development and first cargo in 2024.

The Scarborough gas field is a natural gas field located in the Indian Ocean north-west of Exmouth on the coast of Western Australia. In 2018 Woodside bought the ExxonMobil 50% share of the retention lease, adding to the 25% it had acquired from BHP in 2016.

Woodside is proposing to develop the Scarborough resource with 12 subsea, high-rate gas wells tied back to a semi-submersible platform moored in 900 m of water.
