據(jù)鉆機地帶3月8日消息稱，道達爾能源公司為年產400萬噸的巴布亞液化天然氣項目啟動了前端工程和設計（FEED）。作為項目運營商，道達爾能源及其合作伙伴已同意使用包括四條電動液化天然氣生產線（e-train）的概念。

根據(jù)道達爾能源公司的說法，使用電動液化天然氣生產線的決定遵循了FEED前的研究，并使項目合作伙伴能夠最大限度地發(fā)揮協(xié)同效應并最大限度地降低成本。此外，這四條生產線將在Caution Bay現(xiàn)有的PNG LNG設施內建造。

巴布亞液化天然氣公司還確保在現(xiàn)有的巴布亞液化天然氣生產線上使用200萬噸/年的額外液化能力。道達爾能源在聲明中表示，電動液化生產線的建設和運營將委托給埃克森美孚，該公司自2014年以來一直是PNG液化天然氣項目的運營商。

在巴布亞液化天然氣和巴布亞新幾內亞液化天然氣之間的整合框架的支持下，道達爾能源已經(jīng)將JX Nippon公司列為合作伙伴。兩家公司簽署了一項負責人協(xié)議，根據(jù)該協(xié)議，JX Nippon將獲得巴布亞液化天然氣2%的權益。道達爾能源在聲明中表示，JX Nippon是ENEOS的子公司，已經(jīng)持有PNG LNG的4.7%權益。

道達爾能源持有巴布亞液化天然氣40.1%的權益，其合資伙伴埃克森美孚持有37.1%，桑托斯持有22.8%。

巴布亞新幾內亞石油和能源部長Kerenga Kua表示：“巴布亞液化天然氣項目對巴布亞新幾內亞來說是一個具有國家意義的項目，將刺激商業(yè)信心，為我們的經(jīng)濟提供巨大動力。”

TotalEnergies Gives Green Light for Papua LNG FEED

TotalEnergies has launched the Front-End Engineering and Design (FEED) for the 4 million tons per annum Papua LNG project. As project operator, TotalEnergies and its partners have agreed on using a concept which includes four electrical LNG trains (e-trains).

The decision to use electrical LNG trains, according to TotalEnergies, follows pre-FEED studies and enables the project partners to maximize synergies and minimize the costs. Additionally, the four trains will be built within the existing PNG LNG facility in Caution Bay.

Papua LNG has also secured the use of 2 Mt/y of additional liquefaction capacity in the existing trains of PNG LNG. The construction and operation of the electrical liquefaction trains will be delegated to ExxonMobil, operator of the PNG LNG project since 2014, TotalEnergies said in its statement.

On the back of the integration framework between Papua LNG and PNG LNG, TotalEnergies has been able to bring in JX Nippon into the frame. The two companies have signed a heads of agreement, under which JX Nippon will secure a 2 percent interest in Papua LNG. JX Nippon is an affiliate of ENEOS and already holds a 4.7% interest in PNG LNG, TotalEnergies said in the statement.

TotalEnergies holds 40.1 percent interest in Papua LNG, along with its joint venture partners ExxonMobil (37.1 percent) and Santos (22.8 percent).

“The Papua LNG Project is a project of national significance for Papua New Guinea and will stimulate business confidence and provide a significant impetus for our economy,” said Kerenga Kua, Minister of Petroleum and Energy of Papua New Guinea.
