澳大利亞庫珀Sole氣田處于最后調試階段

據(jù)海上能源3月11日報道，由庫珀經營的 Sole氣田位于吉普斯蘭盆地東部，距澳大利亞維多利亞近40公里。 該項目涉及Sole海上氣田的開發(fā)和Orbost天然氣廠的升級，以每年供應約24拍焦。

庫珀在二月表示，隨著天然氣從東部天然氣管道進入澳大利亞的奧博斯特天然氣加工廠， Sole天然氣項目已通過了關鍵的里程碑。

在周三的一次更新中，庫珀表示，Sole天然氣項目已經通過了另一個關鍵的里程碑，第一批氣體從Sole氣田流向奧博斯特氣體加工廠進行第二階段，也是最后的調試階段。

該氣田生產的天然氣被用于調試工廠的原料氣加工設施。最初天然氣生產和加工水平將是小批量。

隨著第二階段調試的完成和全速率生產試驗的進行，預計天然氣產量將逐漸增加。

調試活動的滿意度將使天然氣從Sole 開始供應到長期合同下的客戶。

根據(jù)庫珀的說法，APA集團建議預計今年3月實現(xiàn)全速生產和商業(yè)運營以確保天然氣的穩(wěn)定供應。

Cooper’s Sole gas field in final phase of commissioning

The Cooper-operated Sole gas field is located in the eastern part of the Gippsland Basin, approximately 40km offshore Victoria, Australia. The project involves the development of the Sole offshore gas field and upgrade of the Orbost gas plant to supply approximately 24 PJ per annum.

Cooper said in February that the Sole Gas Project had passed a critical milestone with the entry of gas from the Eastern Gas Pipeline into the Orbost gas processing plant in Australia.

In an update on Wednesday, Cooper said that the Sole Gas Project had passed another critical milestone with the first flow of gas from the Sole gas field to the Orbost Gas Processing Plant for the second, and final, phase of commissioning.

The gas produced by the field is being used to commission the plant’s raw gas processing facilities. Initial gas production and processing levels will be at small volumes.

Gas production is expected to increase gradually as the second phase commissioning progresses towards completion and the performance of a full-rate production test.

The satisfaction of the commissioning activities will enable the beginning of gas supply from Sole to the customers under long-term contracts.

According to Cooper, APA Group advises full-rate production and commercial operation for firm gas supply are anticipated in March 2020.
