石油设备网讯 据道琼斯6月1日消息，荷兰皇家壳牌集团表示，该公司正提前一年启动在路易斯安那州墨西哥湾的Kaikias深水采油项目，预计日产量最高可达4万桶油当量。壳牌表示：“自2017年初作出了这项投资决定以来，该公司已将该深水项目的成本削减了30%左右，将前瞻性盈亏平衡价格降至每桶不到30美元。”虽然这则消息可能暗示，在美国油价触及多年高点70美元附近之际，深水项目正在复苏，但分析师表示，在2019年或2020年之前，整体来说，海洋深水项目仍将不振。

Shell Begins New Production in Gulf of Mexico
Shell says it's starting deepwater production one year ahead of time at a development called Kaikias in the Gulf of Mexico of Louisiana's coast, with an estimated peak daily output of 40k bbls of oil-equivalent. "Shell has reduced costs by around 30% at this deep-water project since taking the investment decision in early 2017, lowering the forward-looking, break-even price to less than $30 per barrel of oil," the company says. While the news could suggest deepwater projects are revving up as US oil prices hit multi-year highs around $70/bbl, analysts say the offshore deepwater sub-sector in general will remain subdued until 2019 or 2020.
