雪佛龙与美国铝业签署国内天然气供应协议

    中国石化新闻网讯 据世界天然气网站9月28日消息 雪佛龙澳大利亚分公司与铝合金生产商美国铝业（Alcoa）签署了另一项协议，从其液化天然气项目中输送国内天然气。

    雪佛龙表示，从2024年1月开始，将在多年期内向美国铝业额外供应37拍焦的国内天然气。

    这项供应协议是在雪佛龙和美国铝业于2018年12月签署的一项现有协议之后所达成，该协议将供应64拍焦的国内天然气。

    这家能源巨头将从惠斯通和戈尔贡液化天然气开发项目以及伍德赛德运营的西北大陆架设施中输送燃料。

    此外，美国铝业将使用这些燃料为西澳大利亚的三家铝精炼厂提供动力。

    在满负荷运行的情况下，戈尔贡和惠斯通天然气设施将能够为西澳大利亚市场生产每天500太焦的国内天然气。

    雪佛龙称，这一产能可为约430万户家庭发电。

    Chevron in Australian domestic gas deal

    Chevron’s Australian unit has signed another deal with aluminium producer Alcoa for the delivery of domestic natural gas from its LNG projects.

    Starting in January 2024, Chevron said it would supply Alcoa with an additional 37 petajoules of equity domestic gas over a “multi-year term.”

    The supply deal follows an existing agreement signed by Chevron and Alcoa in December 2018 for the supply of 64 petajoules of equity domestic gas.

    The energy giant will deliver the fuel from its Wheatstone and Gorgon LNG developments as well as the Woodside-operated North West Shelf facilities.

    Furthermore, Alcoa will use the fuel to power three aluminium refineries in Western Australia.

    At full capacity, the Gorgon and Wheatstone natural gas facilities will be able to produce 500 terajoules per day of domestic gas for the Western Australian market.

    This capacity could generate electricity for about 4.3 million households, according to Chevron.
