壳牌预计推迟Prelude FLNG复产

    中国石化新闻网讯 据6月22日Offshore Energy消息：液化天然气巨头壳牌预计，在第三季度开始前，其位于西澳大利亚近海的Prelude FLNG工厂不会恢复生产。

    壳牌近五个月没有从FLNG出口任何货物。其发言人在一份声明中称：“恢复时间将取决于疫情限制和对政府指令的遵守，这将导致设施上的人数减少。”

    在几次启动延误之后，Prelude于去年发运了首批货物。

    FLNG有能力生产360万吨/年的液化天然气，130万吨/年的凝析油和40万吨/年的液化石油气。

    壳牌运营着距离西澳大利亚布鲁姆475公里的Prelude FLNG公司，持有该公司67.5%的股份。

Shell doesn’t expect Prelude FLNG restart before Q3

LNG giant Shell is not expecting to restart production at its Prelude FLNG facility offshore Western Australia before the start of the third quarter.

Shell hasn’t exported any cargoes from the FLNG for almost five months following an electrical trip on February 2.

“Start-up timing will depend on Covid-19 constraints and compliance with government directions, which will result in a reduction in the number of people on board the facility”, a Shell spokesperson said in a emailed statement on Monday.

The spokesperson said that due to these constraints and the impact on the start-up processes, “production is not expected before Q3”.

Prelude shipped its first cargo last year following several start-up delays.

The FLNG has the capacity to produce 3.6 mtpa of LNG, 1.3 mtpa of condensate and 0.4 mtpa of LPG.

Shell operates the Prelude FLNG, located 475 km from Broome in Western Australia, with a 67.5 per cent stake.
