据OE网站10月13日报道，Equinor在巴西的最新平台Peregrino C于当地时间10月10日20:00左右首次生产石油。
Equinor表示，Peregrino二期项目将把Peregrino油田的寿命延长到2040年。第二阶段增加2.5亿——3亿桶石油，同时在油田剩余寿命内预计将每桶二氧化碳排放量减半。
Equinor负责项目、钻井和采购的执行副总裁盖尔·通格斯维克（Geir Tungesvik）表示，我很高兴我们已经从新的Peregrino C平台开始生产。疫情使Peregrino2期成为一个具有挑战性的项目，要感谢所有参与项目的人，他们在HSE方面取得了优异的成果。
Peregrino第二阶段包括一个新平台，与现有的Peregrino FPSO相连的钻井设施和生活区，以及一条新管道，将天然气进口到平台用于发电。Equinor表示，在运营中，新平台将在巴西海上和陆上提供350个长期工作岗位。
根据这家挪威石油和天然气公司的说法，Peregrino第二阶段项目原定于2020年底启动，但疫情“严重打击了该项目”，导致在关键的、通常是劳动力密集型的项目转接阶段裁员数次。
尽管如此，Equinor表示，Peregrino第二阶段的交付在最初30亿美元的成本估计范围内。
Equinor称，根据Equinor公司的低碳战略，该公司已采取措施减少Peregrino油田的二氧化碳排放。通过将Peregrino C的发电从柴油转换为天然气，第二阶段每年将避免Peregrino油田排放10万吨二氧化碳。这也将降低成本，简化运营阶段的物流。
Equinor勘探与生产国际执行副总裁Al Cook表示，Peregrino第二阶段的启动是Equinor在巴西发展战略中的一个重要里程碑。该项目展示了我们如何在投资技术以减少碳排放的同时，将有价值的新资源投入生产。我很自豪，Peregrino第二阶段将使油田产量达到11万桶/天，同时将排放强度减半。
Equinor说，新平台还配备了最新的数字工具，比如整个平台的3D模型，操作员可以在现场的iPad上使用。Equinor称，新平台还配备了最新的数字工具，比如整个平台的3D模型，操作员可以在现场的iPad上使用。

Equinor Starts Production from Peregrino C Platform Offshore Brazil
Equinor's latest platform in Brazil, Peregrino C, produced its first oil on October 10 at around 20:00 local time.
Peregrino phase 2 will extend the life of the Peregrino field to 2040. Phase 2 adds 250–300 million barrels of oil, while at the same time halving expected CO2 emissions per barrel over the field remaining lifetime, Equinor said.
Geir Tungesvik, Equinor’s executive vice president for Projects, Drilling & Procurement, said: “I am thrilled that we have started production from the new Peregrino C platform. Covid-19 has made Peregrino phase 2 a challenging project, and I want to thank everyone involved for delivering the project with excellent HSE results."
Peregrino phase 2 consists of a new platform with drilling facilities and living quarters tied in to the existing Peregrino FPSO, as well as a new pipeline importing gas to the platform for power generation. In operation, the new platform will provide 350 long-term jobs offshore and onshore in Brazil, Equinor said.
According to the Norwegian oil and gas company, the Peregrino phase 2 project had been on schedule for planned start-up late in 2020 when Covid-19 "hit the project hard," leading to cuts in the workforce several times in the crucial and normally labor-intensive hook-up phase.
Still, Equinor said, Peregrino phase 2 is delivered within the original $3 billion cost estimate.
"In line with Equinor’s low carbon strategy, measures have been taken to reduce CO2 emissions from the Peregrino field. By switching from diesel to gas for power generation on Peregrino C, phase 2 will avoid 100,000 tonnes of CO2 emissions from the Peregrino field per year. This will also reduce costs and simplify logistics in the operational phase," Equinor said.
"The start-up of Peregrino Phase 2 is an important milestone in Equinor’s growth strategy in Brazil. This project showcases how we can bring valuable new resources onto production at the same time as investing in technology to cut carbon emissions. I am proud that Peregrino Phase 2 will increase field production to 110,000 barrels per day at plateau whilst halving our emissions intensity,” says Al Cook, Equinor’s executive vice president for Exploration & Production International.
The new platform, Equinor said, is also equipped with the latest digital tools, like a 3D model of the entire platform that operators can use on an iPad in the field.
"This improves cooperation offshore and between the platform and the onshore operational support team in Rio de Janeiro. New digital solutions will also contribute to optimized production, reducing energy usage and thereby CO2 emissions," the company added.
