道达尔能源启动巴布亚新几内亚LNG开发的工程设计研究

据世界石油7月21日消息称，作为运营商，道达尔能源宣布决定巴布亚液化天然气合资公司启动巴布亚液化天然气项目上游生产设施的第一阶段前端工程和设计（FEED）研究。

与此同时，下游液化设施的研究正在按照项目的总体进度进行，目标是在2022年第四季度推出综合FEED。该项目的目标是在2023年底左右做出最终投资决定，并在2027年底启动。

道达尔能源负责勘探、生产和可再生能源的亚太区高级副总裁Julien Pouget表示：“上游FEED研究的启动是开发巴布亚液化天然气项目的另一个重要步骤，这将增加巴布亚新几内亚的液化天然气出口能力，从而有助于其进一步发展。巴布亚液化天然气项目很好地促进了全球液化天然气供应的增长，特别是对寻求从煤炭到天然气脱碳的亚洲客户，这符合我们降低全球温室气体排放的战略。”

巴布亚液化天然气合资公司致力于开发一个在可持续性、生物多样性和低碳排放方面具有里程碑意义的项目。具体来说，该项目将为油田的原生二氧化碳纳入碳捕获和存储方案，这些二氧化碳将被重新注入到储库中。

TotalEnergies launching engineering, design studies for Papua New Guinea LNG development

TotalEnergies, as operator, announced the decision of the Papua LNG joint venture to launch the first phase of front-end engineering and design (FEED) studies for the Papua LNG project's upstream production facilities.

In parallel, studies for the downstream liquefaction facilities are progressing in line with the overall project schedule, and the objective is to launch the integrated FEED in the fourth quarter of 2022. The project is targeting a final investment decision (FID) around the end of 2023, and a start-up at the end of 2027.

“The commencement of upstream FEED studies is another significant step towards developing the Papua LNG project, which will increase Papua New Guinea’s LNG export capacity and thus contribute to its further development," said Julien Pouget, Senior Vice President Asia Pacific for Exploration & Production and Renewables at TotalEnergies. "The Papua LNG project is well positioned to contribute to growth in LNG supply worldwide, especially for customers in Asia seeking to decarbonize from coal to gas, in line with our strategy to lower global greenhouse gas emissions.”

The Papua LNG joint venture is committed to developing a landmark project in terms of sustainability, biodiversity, and low carbon emissions. Specifically, the project will incorporate a carbon capture and storage scheme for the fields' native CO2, which will be reinjected into the reservoirs.
