库珀能源Sole气田开始向管道输送天然气

据今日海上能源网站3月31日消息 澳大利亚库珀能源公司（Cooper Energy）称，其运营的位于澳大利亚近海的Sole气田目前正在向东部天然气管道输送天然气。

库珀运营的Sole气田位于吉普斯兰盆地东部，距离澳大利亚维多利亚港约40公里。该项目涉及开发唯一的海上气田和升级奥博斯特天然气厂，每年供应约24拍焦。

周二，库珀称奥博斯特天然气处理厂的第二阶段调试正在进行中。

该工厂由APA集团（APA）运营，已证明其有能力从Sole的气田生产符合规格的销售天然气，并已开始向东部天然气管道（EGP）供气。

库珀指出，交付给EGP的初始容量较小，变化很大，并且受调试要求的影响。库珀说，3月29日（周日）的市场销售额为21万亿焦耳，日产量高达50万亿焦耳。

根据该公司的说法，随着工厂生产测试的调试进行，产能可能会继续变化，将达到68 万亿焦耳/天。

从Sole气田到定期天然气销售协议的固定天然气供应将在工厂生产测试完成后开始。

Cooper’s Sole field starts gas supply into pipeline

Australia’s Cooper Energy has informed that its operated Sole gas field, located offshore Australia, is now producing gas to the Eastern Gas Pipeline.

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.

In an update on Tuesday, Cooper said that the second phase commissioning of the Orbost Gas Processing Plant is underway.

The plant, which is operated by APA Group (APA), has demonstrated its capability to produce sales gas to specification from the Sole gas field and has started gas supply into the Eastern Gas Pipeline (EGP).

Cooper noted that the initial volumes delivered to the EGP were small, variable, and influenced by commissioning requirements. Sales to market on Sunday, March 29 were 21 TJ, with production rates of up to 50 TJ/d, Cooper said.

According to the company, it is likely that production rates will continue to be variable as commissioning proceeds to the plant production test, which requires a sustained rate of 68 TJ/day.

The beginning of firm gas supply from the Sole gas field to term gas sales agreements will begin after the completion of the plant production test.
