石油设备网讯 据普氏能源资讯悉尼3月13日消息 澳大利亚最大的天然气生产商伍德赛德能源公司首席运营长Meg O'Neill周三在珀斯举行的澳大利亚油气展览会上表示，该公司将于本月晚些时候正式启用其位于西澳大利亚Pluto LNG卡车装载设施。
该卡车装载设施于2018年开始建设，计划向该州的Pilbara、Kimberley和Gascoyne地区供应液化天然气。
伍德赛德在没有安全客户的情况下对卡车装载设施进行了投资。1月，伍德赛德与谢菲尔德达成了一项为期15年的协议，为其位于澳大利亚西部北部的Thunderbird矿物砂项目供应和交付1950太焦耳/年的液化天然气。
伍德赛德首席执行官科尔曼在2月中旬表示：“我们对市场有自己的看法。我们认为潜在买家和供应商之间总是存在对峙，因此我们根据对市场需求的评估向前推进。”
他指出，虽然谢菲尔德的协议取决于他们对Thunderbird项目的最终投资决定，但伍德赛德有信心，正在招标卡车来供应该项目。
伍德赛德还参与了联合工业项目以评估液化天然气用作从Pilbara运输铁矿石的散货船燃料的可行性。
该公司在年度报告中表示:“2019年我们将采取行动，支持FID在液化天然气加气船上向市场供应。”
科尔曼表示:“在加燃料方面，我们目前正寻求一艘加燃料船的报价，以供应丹皮尔港或黑德兰港。”

Australia's Woodside to open Pluto LNG truck-loading facility this month
Australia's largest gas producer Woodside Energy will officially open its LNG truck-loading facility at its Western Australian Pluto plant later this month, the company's chief operations officer Meg O'Neill said in a speech at the Australasian Oil and Gas Exhibition and Conference in Perth Wednesday.
The truck loading facility, which commenced construction in 2018, is planned to provide LNG for distribution to the state's Pilbara, Kimberley and Gascoyne regions.
Woodside made the investment in the truck-loading facility without a secured customer, and in January secured a 15-year agreement with Sheffield Resources for the supply and delivery of 1,950 terajoules/year of LNG to its Thunderbird Mineral Sands Project in northern Western Australia.
"We had a view on the market. We felt that there was always a stand-off between potential buyers and suppliers, and so we moved forward based on our assessment of market demand," Woodside's CEO Peter Coleman said in mid-February.
He noted that while the Sheffield agreement is subject to them going to final investment decision on the Thunderbird project, Woodside is confident and tendering for the trucks to supply it.
Woodside has also participated in joint industry projects to assess the feasibility for LNG to be used as a fuel for bulk carriers transporting iron ore from Pilbara.
"In 2019, we will undertake activities to support FID on an LNG bunkering vessel to supply this market," it said in the annual report.
Coleman said , "on the bunkering side, we are currently out for expressions of interest on a bunkering vessel to supply Dampier Port and/or Port Hedland".
