据12月17日Offshore Energy报道，美国石油公司雪佛龙（Chevron）与韩国大宇造船和海洋工程公司（DSME）签署了一份合同，为美国墨西哥湾的Anchor项目建造船体。
DSME公司将为雪佛龙建造半潜式生产平台船体。该合同的签订意味着该船厂五年的海上平台零订单的状态的结束。
雪佛龙公司上周批准了Anchor深水油田项目，标志着该公司首次对深水高压开发项目做出最终投资决定。
该油田位于Green Canyon地区，距离路易斯安那州海岸约140英里(225公里)，水深约5000英尺。将开发7口海底油井，与半潜式浮式生产装置(FPU)相连，该装置每天可生产7.5万桶原油和2800万立方英尺天然气。首批石油生产预计在2024年。
该项目的初步发展将需要大约57亿美元的投资。据估计，Anchor的潜在可开采石油当量资源总量超过4.4亿桶。该项目将包括一项新技术的交付。
雪佛龙公司从斯伦贝谢公司的OneSubsea油田订购了一套海底生产和多相增压系统，该系统将提供额定压力高达20000 psi的垂直单孔采油树和多相流量计。

Chevron orders Anchor hull from South Korea’s DSME
U.S. oil major Chevron has awarded a contract to build a hull for the Anchor project in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico to South Korea’s Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering (DSME).
DSME will build the hull for the semi-submersible floating production unit for Chevron’s Anchor project. The contract award meant the end of a five-year drought in offshore platform orders for the yard.
Chevron sanctioned the deepwater Anchor project last week, marking the industry’s first deepwater high-pressure development to achieve the FID.
The Anchor field is located in the Green Canyon area, approximately 140 miles (225 km) off the coast of Louisiana, in water depths of approximately 5,000 feet.
It will be developed with seven subsea wells connected to a semi-submersible floating production unit (FPU) with a capacity of 75,000 barrels of crude oil and 28 million cubic feet of gas per day. The first oil is expected in 2024.
The initial development of the project will require an investment of approximately $5.7 billion. The total potentially recoverable oil-equivalent resources for Anchor are estimated to exceed 440 million barrels.
The project will include the delivery of a new technology.
Chevron ordered a subsea production and multiphase boosting system for the Anchor field from Schlumberger’s OneSubsea, which will supply vertical monobore production trees and multiphase flowmeters rated up to 20,000 psi.
