据能源经济5月30日消息称，壳牌公司周一表示，已批准开发澳大利亚附近的Crux天然气田，分析师估计该项目将耗资约25亿美元。
这家石油和天然气巨头在一份声明中表示，预计将于2023年开始建设，第一批天然气预计将于2027年产出，这些天然气将供应每年360万吨的Prelude浮式液化天然气（FLNG）设施。
壳牌表示，该项目将帮助其亚洲客户从煤炭转向天然气，并提供一个安全的供应来源。
壳牌天然气、可再生能源和能源综合解决方案主管Wael Sawan表示：“该项目还将提高我们客户的供应安全，这正成为全球消费者越来越重要的考虑因素。”
壳牌发言人拒绝就该项目的成本置评，称公司不会就单个资产层面的资本投资置评。
Sawan说：“使用Prelude现有的基础设施可以显著降低开发成本，使Crux具有竞争力和商业吸引力。”
能源咨询公司Wood Mackenzie估计，这将耗资约25亿美元，瑞士信贷分析师Saul Kavonic估计为20亿-30亿美元。

Shell greenlights $2.5 bln Crux gas project off Australia
Shell Plc said on Monday it had given the go-ahead to develop the Crux gas field off Australia, which analysts estimated would cost around $2.5 billion.
Construction is expected to start in 2023 with first gas expected in 2027, which will feed the 3.6 million tonne a year Prelude floating liquefied natural gas (FLNG) facility, the oil and gas major said in a statement.
Shell said the project would help its Asian customers move from coal to gas, and also provide a secure supply source.
"The project will also boost our customers' security of supply, which is becoming an ever more significant consideration for global consumers," said Wael Sawan, Shell's director of integrated gas, renewables and energy solutions.
A Shell spokesperson declined to comment on the project's cost saying the company does not comment on capital investments on an individual asset level.
"The use of Prelude's existing infrastructure enables significantly reduced development costs, making Crux competitive and commercially attractive," Sawan said.
Energy consultants Wood Mackenzie estimated it would cost about $2.5 billion, while Credit Suisse analyst Saul Kavonic estimated it at between $2 billion and $3 billion.
