據世界石油7月21日消息稱，作為運營商，道達爾能源宣布決定巴布亞液化天然氣合資公司啟動巴布亞液化天然氣項目上游生產設施的第一階段前端工程和設計（FEED）研究。

與此同時，下游液化設施的研究正在按照項目的總體進度進行，目標是在2022年第四季度推出綜合FEED。該項目的目標是在2023年底左右做出最終投資決定，并在2027年底啟動。

道達爾能源負責勘探、生產和可再生能源的亞太區(qū)高級副總裁Julien Pouget表示：“上游FEED研究的啟動是開發(fā)巴布亞液化天然氣項目的另一個重要步驟，這將增加巴布亞新幾內亞的液化天然氣出口能力，從而有助于其進一步發(fā)展。巴布亞液化天然氣項目很好地促進了全球液化天然氣供應的增長，特別是對尋求從煤炭到天然氣脫碳的亞洲客戶，這符合我們降低全球溫室氣體排放的戰(zhàn)略。”

巴布亞液化天然氣合資公司致力于開發(fā)一個在可持續(xù)性、生物多樣性和低碳排放方面具有里程碑意義的項目。具體來說，該項目將為油田的原生二氧化碳納入碳捕獲和存儲方案，這些二氧化碳將被重新注入到儲庫中。

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.
