石油设备网讯 据Offshore Energy 5月24日报道，壳牌中游资产合作伙伴已告知，Proteus石油管道公司和Endymion 石油管道公司拥有的管道系统，通过新投产的Mattox管道，从壳牌公司在墨西哥海湾经营的阿波马托克斯浮式生产系统启动后，增加了原油运输量。
壳牌管道公司(SPLC)作为运营者持有Mattox管道大多数的股权，壳牌中流合作伙伴Proteus和Endymion和持有10%的股权。
壳牌中流合伙人首席执行官凯文·尼科尔斯(KevinNichols)表示，墨西哥湾仍然是美国生产进程的一个重要部分——这些新的石油产量就是明证。
“在过去三年中，跨越墨西哥湾的19个批准项目中的大多数都流经我们的系统，这给我们提供了捕捉增长的理想状态。我们的海上走廊战略正在发挥作用-我们对墨西哥湾提供的复原力和增长感到高兴。”
目前预计日产17.5万桶的阿波马托克斯公司于2019年5月23日收到了第一批石油。据壳牌称，自2015年做出最终投资决定以来，Appomtox已经实现了40%以上的成本削减。壳牌是该项目的运营商，持有79%的股份。
Mattox管道正在将石油从Appomtox输送到Proteus和Endymion系统，最终通过洛杉矶的克洛弗利，洛杉矶存储中心连接到陆上市场。

New pipeline transports first oil from Shell’s Appomattox
Shell Midstream Partners has informed that the systems owned by Proteus Oil Pipeline Company and Endymion Oil Pipeline Company increased volumes of crude oil from the startup of the Shell-operated Appomattox floating production system in the Gulf of Mexico via the newly commissioned Mattox Pipeline.
The Mattox Pipeline is majority owned and operated by Shell Pipeline Company (SPLC). Shell Midstream Partners owns a 10% interest in each of Proteus and Endymion.
“The Gulf of Mexico remains an important part of the US production story – as evidenced by these new volumes,” said Kevin Nichols, CEO, Shell Midstream Partners.
“Over the last three years, most of the 19 sanctioned projects across the Gulf of Mexico flow through our systems, giving us the ideal position to capture growth. Our offshore corridor strategy is working – and we are pleased with the resilience and growth that the Gulf of Mexico provides.”
Appomattox, which currently has an expected production of 175,000 boe/d, achieved first oil on May 23, 2019. According to Shell, Appomattox has realized cost reductions of more than 40% since taking the final investment decision in 2015. Shell is the operator of the project with a 79 percent stake.
The Mattox Pipeline is transporting oil from Appomattox into the Proteus and Endymion systems, which ultimately connect to onshore markets via the Clovelly, LA storage hub.
