沙迦与Petrofac签署4000万美元天然气储存项目

据3月24日Gulf Times报道，沙迦（Sharjah）与英国派特法石油工程公司Petrofac了签署一个4000万美元的天然气储存项目。该项目的总承包和试运（EPCC）合同包括一个新的高压压缩机设施、一条高压管道和通往Moveyeid油田现有四口油井的运输管线。

今年早些时候，沙迦国家石油公司(SNOC)和它的合作伙伴埃尼集团(Eni)宣布在沙迦海岸发现了天然气和凝析油，这代表着该国自上世纪80年代初以来首次在陆上发现天然气。

SNOC计划分阶段实施该项目，地面设施将于2020年底投入使用，钻探工作将于2023年进行。该公司首席执行官Hatem Al Mosa表示:“对于这样一个项目来说，国家石油公司在规模、管线基础设施、连通性等方面都拥有理想的油藏。然而，长期的天然气供应短缺，在当时阻止了该项目成为现实。”

他补充道：“该项目将允许我们在冬季储存多余的天然气，以满足夏季的高峰需求。还将提供一个随时可用的战略储备，以应对意外的运营或市场问题。”

Sharjah signs Petrofac for $40m gas storage project

facility project has been awarded to Petrofac Facilities Management International. The value of the project is $40 million, and will feature a new high-pressure compressor facility, a high-pressure pipeline and flow lines to four existing wells in the Moveyeid Field.

Earlier this year, Sharjah National Oil Corporation (SNOC) and its partner Eni announced the discovery of natural gas and condensate onshore in Sharjah. The discovery, named “Mahani”, comes within the first year of the partnership and represents the first onshore discovery of gas in the emirate since the early 1980s.

SNOC plans to implement the project in phases, with the surface facilities to be commissioned by the end of 2020 and drilling in 2023.

“SNOC owns the ideal reservoir for such a project in terms of size, proximity to pipeline infrastructure, connectivity and composition,” said Hatem Al Mosa, CEO of Sharjah National Oil Corporation (SNOC). “However, the historic chronic shortage of gas to provide the cushion gas prevented the project from becoming a reality at that time.

“The project will allow us to store excess gas in the winter to satisfy the summer peak demand. It will also provide a readily available strategic reserve to respond to unexpected operational or market issues where connectivity and proximity become most critical.”
