殼牌公司啟動(dòng)英國(guó)北海弗拉姆油氣田

據(jù)天然氣新聞2020年9月8日倫敦報(bào)道，荷蘭皇家殼牌公司9月8日表示，重新審查其總體戰(zhàn)略的殼牌公司已經(jīng)開(kāi)始在位于英國(guó)北海的弗拉姆天然氣和凝析油田進(jìn)行油氣生產(chǎn)，同時(shí)繼續(xù)對(duì)延遲的Shearwater基礎(chǔ)設(shè)施樞紐進(jìn)行改造。

殼牌公司在一份聲明中表示，弗拉姆油氣田已于6月16日投產(chǎn)，最高日產(chǎn)量預(yù)計(jì)將達(dá)到1.24萬(wàn)桶油當(dāng)量，其中天然氣4100萬(wàn)立方英尺和凝析油5300桶。

來(lái)自?xún)煽诰奶烊粴庖后w將通過(guò)斯特林油田運(yùn)往Shearwater基礎(chǔ)設(shè)施樞紐，而天然氣將輸送到位于英格蘭東海岸的目前正在重新開(kāi)發(fā)中的Bacton終端，為蘇格蘭的圣弗格斯天然氣廠(chǎng)和法伊夫天然氣液體及乙烯廠(chǎng)提供天然氣。由于COVID-19危機(jī)的影響，Shearwater重新開(kāi)發(fā)項(xiàng)目將在明年投產(chǎn)。

弗拉姆油氣田最初在1969年在北海相對(duì)較淺的水域被發(fā)現(xiàn)。殼牌公司持有32%的股份，?？松梨诠境钟衅溆嗟?8%股份。

殼牌公司在2018年宣布投資決定時(shí)表示，成功降低成本使其能夠在北海進(jìn)行幾項(xiàng)投資。此前，北海被認(rèn)為是世界上開(kāi)發(fā)成本最昂貴的油氣地之一。

Shell starts up UK Fram gas, condensate field as strategy under review

Shell has started production from the Fram gas and condensate field in the UK North Sea, it said Sept. 8, as work continues on a revamp of the delayed Shearwater infrastructure hub and the company reviews its overall strategy.

In a statement, Shell said Fram had come on stream on June 16 and is expected to produce 12,400 b/d of oil equivalent at peak, comprising 41 MMcf/d of gas and 5,300 b/d of condensate.

Natural gas liquids from two wells are to be transported via the Starling field to Shearwater, which feeds gas to the Bacton terminal on the east coast of England, but is being redeveloped to supply the St. Fergus gas plant and Fife natural gas liquids and ethylene plants in Scotland. The Shearwater redevelopment is due on stream next year following a delay related to the COVID-19 crisis.

Fram was originally discovered, in relatively shallow waters, in 1969. Shell is the operator with a 32% stake, with ExxonMobil holding the remaining 68%.

Announcing the investment decision in 2018, Shell said successful cost reduction was enabling it to make several investments in the North Sea, previously considered one of the world's most expensive oil and gas provinces.
