中国石化新闻网讯 据世界石油1月8日彭博社报道，根据塞内加尔石油部长索菲·格拉迪马(SophieGladima)的说法，横跨毛里塔尼亚和塞内加尔近海的Grand Tortue Ahmeyim气田开发，在因新冠疫情延迟后，预计将于2023年生产首批天然气。 格拉迪玛在回复电子邮件问题时表示,该两国和国际石油公司英国石油公司(BP Plc)和科斯莫斯能源公司(Kosmos Energy Ltd.)合作开发这个耗资48亿美元的项目，该项目在第一阶段的年产能为250万吨液化天然气和7,000万立方英尺天然气，将由塞内加尔和毛里塔尼亚共享。 她表示，疫情爆发恰逢该油气田开发的关键时期。许多与开发有关的活动，如资源和人员的调动、世界各地点的建设阶段和安装受到影响。 计划的2022年启动计划的推迟使塞内加尔无法获得急需的石油和天然气收入，因为该国经济正寻求从疫情的影响中恢复，新冠疫情将2020年的经济增长目标降低到0.7%。 根据国际货币基金组织(IMF)的数据显示，2014-2017年间，塞内加尔发现了超过10亿桶石油和40万亿立方英尺天然气的储量-其中大部分与毛里塔尼亚共享。 这促使塞内加尔被誉为该地区最有前途的新生产国之一，也可能是石油出口国组织(即欧佩克)的未来成员。 格拉迪玛称，任何关于加入或不加入任何国际组织的谈话都为时过早。塞内加尔专注于开发其石油项目，以实现从2023年开始生产的目标。通过降低电力成本，开发本地资源和工业化，这些资源将用于“建立相互联系和竞争的经济”。 更实惠的电力 去年10月该国总统麦基索尔(MackySall)在一次气候会议上表示，在天然气发电项目完成后，由国有Senelec和土耳其Karpowership等独立生产商经营的发电厂预计将从重燃料转向天然气。 松海咨询集团有限公司(Songhai Advisory Group Ltd.)的管理合伙人kissy agyemang-togobo表示，对天然气发电依赖根大。塞内加尔的电价昂贵-生产成本很高，许多电厂都使用进口燃料。 格拉迪玛表示，塞内加尔的Sangomar项目由位于澳大利亚珀斯的伍德赛德能源公司（Woodside Energy）开发，预计日产量为7.5万至10万桶石油，该项目也将于2023年开始生产。这个耗资42亿美元的项目将从国有石油公司Petrosen获得18％的资金。 当疫情爆发时，该国已经开始从其发现中获益。根据该国国家采掘业透明度倡议委员会的一份报告显示，2019年，该国政府从碳氢化合物行业获得的收入达到228亿西非法郎(合4250万美元)，比2018年增长了37%。这一增长是由科斯莫斯能源公司支付的52.1亿西非法郎的税收调整所驱动的。 她称，另一个气田Yakaar-Teranga的资源量为15万-20万亿立方英尺，该油田试图在2023年或2024年开始生产。 郝芬 译自 世界石油 原文如下: Senegal plans 2023 start for $4.3B BP-Kosmos gas program The Grand Tortue Ahmeyim gas field development, straddling the offshore waters of Mauritania and Senegal, is expected to produce its first gas in 2023 following delays related to the coronavirus pandemic, according to Senegal’s Oil Minister Sophie Gladima. The two countries and international oil companies BP Plc and Kosmos Energy Ltd. are collaborating on the $4.8 billion project set to produce 2.5 million tons of liquefied natural gas annually and 70 million cubic feet of natural gas a day in its first phase, to be equally shared between Senegal and Mauritania, Gladima said in response to emailed questions. “The start of the pandemic coincided with a key period corresponding to the development of the oil and gas fields,” she said. “Many development-related activities, such as the mobilization of resources and people, the construction phases on various sites around the world and installations were affected.” The delay from a planned 2022 start has denied Senegal much-needed oil and gas revenues as its economy seeks to recover from the impact of the pandemic, which pushed down its 2020 economic growth target to 0.7%. Between 2014 and 2017, reserves of more than 1 billion barrels of oil and 40,000 billion cubic feet of gas were found in Senegal -- most of them shared with Mauritania, according to the International Monetary Fund. That’s prompted Senegal to be hailed as one of the region’s most promising new producers and a possible future member of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries. “Any talk of joining any international organization or not is premature,” said Gladima. “Senegal is focused on the development of its oil projects to meet its objective of starting production from 2023,” she said. The resources will be used “to build an economy that’s connected and competitive,” through the reduction of electricity costs, the development of local content, and industrialization. Cheaper Power Power plants run by the state-owned Senelec and independent producers such as Turkey’s Karpowership are expected to switch from heavy fuel to gas after gas-to-power projects are completed, President Macky Sall said at a climate conference in October. “There’s a lot resting on gas-to-power,” said Kissy Agyemang-Togobo, a managing partner at Songhai Advisory Group Ltd. “Electricity is expensive in Senegal -- the cost of production is high,” with many plants running on imported fuel, she said. Senegal’s Sangomar project, developed by Perth, Australia-based Woodside Energy, with an estimated production capacity of 75,000 to 100,000 barrels of oil per day, is also set to start production in 2023, Gladima said. The $4.2 billion project will receive 18% of its funding from state-owned oil company Petrosen, she said. The country had already started to reap benefits from its discoveries when the pandemic hit. The government’s revenues from the hydrocarbons sector reached 22.8 billion CFA francs ($42.5 million) in 2019, a 37% increase from 2018, according to a report by the National Committee of Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative. The rise that year was driven by a tax adjustment of 5.21 billion CFA francs paid by Kosmos Energy. Another gas field, Yakaar-Teranga, a resource of 15 to 20 trillion cubic feet, seeks to start production in 2023 or 2024, she said. |
