據海上能源4月1日消息，石油巨頭殼牌公司已經開始在特立尼達和多巴哥北海岸海域(NCMA)的22號區塊和NCMA-4號區塊進行生產。

殼牌于2020年3月對Colibri項目進行了最終投資決策。殼牌周四表示，Colibri的啟動是在“第6區塊產量共享合同”修正案之后進行的，這標志著殼牌在該國發展戰略的又一個重要里程碑。

這將允許通過大西洋液化天然氣在國內和國際上輸送天然氣。

Colibri項目是一個回填項目，預計通過一系列四口海底氣井，每天可增加約30,000桶油當量(boe/d) (174 mmscf/d)的持續近期天然氣產量，峰值產量預計約為43,000 boe/d (250 mmscf/d），這些氣井與位于NCMA區域的現有Poinsettia平臺相連。

集成天然氣、可再生能源和能源解決方案總監Wael Sawan說：“這加強了殼牌在國內推動進步戰略的實施，因為我們尋求在全球范圍內提供更多、更清潔的能源解決方案。Colibri 以及其他開發項目將看到天然氣進入國內石化市場和液化天然氣出口市場，這符合該國的能源雄心。”

殼牌運營的Colibri開發項目與該國國家石油公司Heritage Petroleum 公司共同擁有，后者在北海岸海域的22號區塊和NCMA-4區塊分別擁有10%和20%的工作權益。

值得提醒的是，殼牌還于2021年7月開始在該國東海岸海區（ECMA）的5C區塊投產，該區塊也被稱為Barracuda項目。

Colibri與Barracuda和現有開發項目相結合，將為其國內市場和液化天然氣出口市場提供更多的天然氣。

Shell produces first gas from Colibri project off Trinidad and Tobago

Oil major Shell has started production on Block 22 and NCMA-4 in the North Coast Marine Area (NCMA) in Trinidad and Tobago.

Shell made the Final Investment Decision for Project Colibri in March 2020. The start-up of Colibri follows the amendment to the Block 6 Production Sharing Contract for the Manatee field, marking yet another significant milestone in Shell’s growth strategy in the country, Shell said on Thursday.

This will allow for the delivery of gas both domestically and internationally through Atlantic LNG.

Project Colibri is a backfill project that is expected to add approximately 30,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day (boe/d) (174 mmscf/d) of sustained near-term gas production with peak production expected to be approximately 43,000 boe/d (250 mmscf/d) through a series of four subsea gas wells, tied back to the existing Poinsettia platform located in the NCMA acreage.

Wael Sawan, Director of Integrated Gas, Renewable and Energy Solutions: “This reinforces the delivery of Shell’s Powering Progress strategy in country, as we seek to provide more and cleaner energy solutions, globally. Colibri, along with other development projects, will see natural gas going into both the domestic petrochemical markets and into LNG exports, in line with the energy ambitions of Trinidad and Tobago.”

The Shell-operated Colibri development is co-owned with the Trinidad and Tobago national oil company Heritage Petroleum Company, which has a working interest of 10 per cent and 20 per cent respectively in Block 22 and NCMA-4 in the North Coast Marine Area (NCMA).

It is worth reminding that Shell also started production from Block 5C in the East Coast Marine Area (ECMA), also known as project Barracuda, located in Trinidad and Tobago, in July 2021.

Colibri, when combined with Barracuda and existing developments, will deliver more gas to the Trinidad and Tobago domestic market and the LNG export markets.
