石油设备网讯 据路透社5月8日报道称,伊拉克和中国石油工程建设公司(CPECC)签署了一项价值10.7亿美元的协议,用于建设和运营伊拉克Halfaya大型油田的原油提炼天然气设施。
中国石油天然气集团公司(CNPC)下属的中国石油工程建设公司表示,该公司将每天处理约3亿标准立方英尺的天然气,这些天然气是与原油一起从该油田开采出来的。
由中石油运营的Halfaya油田是Maysan石油公司最大的油田,石油日产量为 37万桶,而该公司石油总日产量约为51万桶。
目前,Maysan石油公司的油田总日产量约为63万桶,预计一年内将达到70万桶。
由于伊拉克缺乏将天然气加工成供当地消费或出口的燃料的设施,该国继续在其油田开采原油的同时燃烧部分提取出来的天然气。
伊拉克石油部长Thamer Ghadhban周三在签署协议时表示,伊拉克正在与国际石油公司进行谈判,以建造一座3亿立方英尺的天然气工厂来处理来自West Qurna 2和Majnoon油田的天然气。目前还没有一家公司被选中。

Iraq, China's CPECC in $1.07bln deal to process gas from Halfaya oilfield
Iraq and China Petroleum Engineering & Construction Corporation (CPECC) signed a $1.07 billion deal to build and operate facilities to process natural gas extracted alongside crude oil at Iraq's giant Halfaya oilfield.
CPECC, an affiliate of China National Petroleum Corporation (CNPC), will process around 300 million standard cubic feet per day (mcf/d) of natural gas extracted from the field alongside crude oil, the oil ministry said.
Halfaya, operated by PetroChina, is Maysan Oil Company's largest oilfield, producing 370,000 barrels per day (bpd) of the company's total output of around 510,000 bpd.
The current total production from Maysan Oil Company's oilfields is now around 630,000 barrels per day and expected to reach 700,000 bpd in one year.
Iraq continues to flare some of the gas extracted alongside crude oil at its fields because it lacks the facilities to process it into fuel for local consumption or exports.
At the signing of the deal on Wednesday, Iraqi oil minister Thamer Ghadhban said that Iraq is in talks with international oil companies to build a 300 million cubic feet gas plant to process gas from the West Qurna 2 and Majnoon oilfields. No company has yet been selected.
