石油设备网讯 据OGJ网站5月21日墨尔本报道，澳大利亚壳牌已获得国家海上石油安全和环境管理局(NOPSEMA)的批准，在西澳大利亚的
Browse盆地阿什莫尔·卡地亚( Ashmore Cartier)许可区AC/P64拟钻探初探井bratwurst-1。
该井将在壳牌的浮式液化天然气(FLNG)设备的东北约160公里处深155米水域中钻探。这口井预计将在年中完井，大约需要45天完成。
壳牌表示，Bratwurst是一种凝析气的前景，将由该公司用Broome基地提供的半潜式钻井平台进行钻探。
如果需要进一步的评估，这口井将被堵塞或停滞。有一项发现有可能与今年早些时候开始投产的FLNG厂有潜在的联系。
NOPSEMA的批准包括将来若有新发现，有对新发现进行侧跟踪和测试的潜力。

Shell Australia approved for Bratwurst-1 wildcat
Shell Australia has been granted approval from the National Offshore Petroleum Safety and Environmental Management Authority (NOPSEMA) for the drilling of proposed wildcat Bratwurst-1 in Ashmore Cartier permit AC/P64 in the Browse basin off Western Australia.
The well will be drilled in 155 m of water about 160 km northeast of Shell’s Prelude floating LNG (FLNG) facility. The well is expected to be spudded in midyear and take about 45 days to complete.
Shell says Bratwurst is a gas-condensate prospect and will be drilled by a semisubmersible rig supplied from the company’s base in Broome.
The well will then be plugged or suspended if further appraisal is required. A discovery has the potential for a tie-back to the Prelude FLNG facilities, which began production earlier this year.
The NOPSEMA approval includes potential for future side-tracking and testing in the event of a discovery.
