石油设备网讯 据普氏能源资讯2019年5月2日伦敦报道，荷兰皇家壳牌公司首席财务官Jessica Uhl周四（2日）表示，壳牌公司预计将在今年第二季度从其澳大利亚浮式液化天然气（LNG）生产设施Prelude项目发运首船LNG货物。
Uhl在公布壳牌公司第一季度业绩后表示，壳牌公司将继上月从Prelude项目外运首批凝析油货物之后推出首批LNG。
Prelude浮式液化天然气（FLNG）项目是近几年来最受期待的LNG项目之一，原因是其作为全球最大的浮式设施，不过由于生产问题，这个项目曾被推迟投产。
Uhl表示：“我们预计今年第二季度将首次发运LNG。”
她补充说，第一批天然气是在去年第四季度进入这个LNG厂的。
Prelude项目具有年产360万吨LNG、130万吨凝析油和40万吨液化石油气的生产能力。
这个设施位于西澳大利亚布鲁姆东北偏北475公里处，由持有67.5%股份的壳牌公司运营，其合作伙伴包括日本Inpex(17.5%)、韩国Kogas(10%)

Shell to ship first cargo of LNG from Australia's Prelude in Q2
Shell expects to ship its first LNG cargo from its Australian floating LNG production facility, Prelude in the second quarter, its CFO Jessica Uhl said Thursday.
Speaking after the release of its Q1 earnings, Uhl said the first LNG would follow the shipment of the first condensate cargo from Prelude last month.
Prelude FLNG is one of the most anticipated LNG projects in recent years due to its deployment as the world's largest floating facility, though it has experienced delays due to unspecified production issues.
"We expect to ship our first cargo of LNG in Q2 this year," Uhl said.
The first gas flowed into the facility in the fourth quarter, she added.
Prelude has a production capacity of 3.6 million mt/year of LNG, 1.3 million mt/year of condensate and 0.4 million mt/year of LPG.
The facility, located 475 km north-northeast of Broome in Western Australia, is operated by Shell with a 67.5% stake.
Its partners are Japanese explorer Inpex with 17.5%, South Korea's Kogas with 10% .
