澳大利亚库珀Sole气田处于最后调试阶段

据海上能源3月11日报道，由库珀经营的 Sole气田位于吉普斯兰盆地东部，距澳大利亚维多利亚近40公里。 该项目涉及Sole海上气田的开发和Orbost天然气厂的升级，以每年供应约24拍焦。

库珀在二月表示，随着天然气从东部天然气管道进入澳大利亚的奥博斯特天然气加工厂， Sole天然气项目已通过了关键的里程碑。

在周三的一次更新中，库珀表示，Sole天然气项目已经通过了另一个关键的里程碑，第一批气体从Sole气田流向奥博斯特气体加工厂进行第二阶段，也是最后的调试阶段。

该气田生产的天然气被用于调试工厂的原料气加工设施。最初天然气生产和加工水平将是小批量。

随着第二阶段调试的完成和全速率生产试验的进行，预计天然气产量将逐渐增加。

调试活动的满意度将使天然气从Sole 开始供应到长期合同下的客户。

根据库珀的说法，APA集团建议预计今年3月实现全速生产和商业运营以确保天然气的稳定供应。

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.
