石油设备网讯 据普氏能源资讯悉尼4月18日消息 澳大利亚最大的天然气生产商伍德赛德周四表示,其三家液化天然气工厂产量在今年第一季度同比增长11%,并维持了2019年的产量预期。
伍德赛德预计2019年的总产量将达到8800万至9400万桶石油当量。预计液化天然气产量将占其中的7000-7300万桶油当量。
伍德赛德公司称,North West Shelf、Pluto和Wheatstone这三家工厂3月当季液化天然气日产量合计为78816万吨,较上年同期增长11%,但较上年同期下降12%。
这三家西澳大利亚州工厂的液化天然气年生产能力合计为2877万吨/年,而它们的铭牌年生产能力合计为3070万吨/年。
其中最大的是North West Shelf,其年生产能力为1690万吨,受飓风“维罗妮卡”影响,该工厂遭遇了最剧烈的下降。在这三个月里,它以42096吨/天(1537万吨/年)的速度运行,同比下降9%。
伍德赛德称,Pluto和Wheatstone今年2月受到意外事件的袭击。Pluto液化天然气产能490万吨/年,日产13330万吨(或489万吨/年),同比下降2%。Wheatstone项目的液化天然气产量为1690万吨/年,增加了一倍多,达到23390万吨/日(854万吨/年)。
伍德赛德西澳大利亚资产的石油产量在1-3季度要低得多,因为恩菲尔德石油公司的Nganhurra浮式生产、储存和卸载船去年11月停止生产,而文森特石油公司根据其更大的恩菲尔德项目时间表将暂停生产至2019年年中。
Okha oil是唯一日产11,651桶(425万桶/年)的产油资产,较上年同期下降9%。伍德赛德的大恩菲尔德项目仍在按计划进行,并在季度末完成了89%。

Australia's Woodside Q1 LNG production rises 11% on year
Australia's largest gas producer, Woodside, Thursday said LNG production from its three facilities rose 11% year on year in the January-March quarter, and maintained its 2019 production guidance.
Woodside expects total production of 88 million-94 million barrels of oil equivalent in 2019. LNG production is expected to make up 70 million-73 million boe of that.
Woodside said the three facilities, North West Shelf, Pluto, and Wheatstone saw a combined LNG production rate of 78,816 mt a day in the March quarter, which was up 11% year on year following Wheatstone's ramp-up but down 12% from the October-December quarter.
The three Western Australian facilities operated at a combined annualized rate of 28.77 million mt/year of LNG compared with their combined nameplate capacity of 30.7 million mt/year.
The largest of the three, the 16.9 million mt/year capacity North West Shelf -- which was affected by Cyclone Veronica -- suffered the sharpest fall. It operated at 42,096 mt/day (15.37 million mt/year) during the three months, which was down 9% on the year.
Woodside said Pluto and Wheatstone were hit by unplanned incidents in February. The 4.9 million mt/year capacity Pluto LNG produced at a rate of 13,330 mt/day (or 4.89 million mt/year), falling 2% year on year. LNG production at the 16.9 million mt/year Wheatstone project more than doubled to 23,390 mt/day (8.54 million mt/year).
Oil production from Woodside's Western Australia assets was much lower in the January-March quarter as the Nganhurra floating production, storage and offloading vessel at Enfield Oil ceased production in November while Vincent Oil is suspended until mid-2019 in accordance with its Greater Enfield project schedule.
Okha oil was the only producing asset at a rate of 11,651 b/d (4.25 million barrels/year), which is down 9% on the year.Woodside's Greater Enfield project remains on schedule and was 89% complete at the end of the quarter, it said.
