据12月24日Offshore Energy报道，壳牌在澳大利亚西北近海的Browse盆地发现了“重要”的天然气和凝析油资源。

壳牌公司于2019年1月提交了钻探Bratwurst-1井的环境计划，并于2019年5月获得批准。上周五，该公司表示，经过78天的努力，于2019年12月4日完成了在AC/P64区块内的Bratwurst-1探井的钻探工作。

该钻探活动在投标后的18个月内完成，在获得AC/P64许可证后的12个月内完成。壳牌公司对许可证拥有100%的权益。

这一发现位于壳牌运营的Prelude FLNG设施东北方向160公里处，为Prelude未来的回接提供了机会。它有助于壳牌开发更多、更清洁能源计划的落实——液化天然气是壳牌在澳大利亚的重点业务。

壳牌澳大利亚执行副总裁Zoe Yujnovich表示:“天然气是我们提供更多和更清洁能源解决方案战略的核心组成部分。”

Shell in ‘significant’ gas discovery offshore Australia

Shell has made a “significant gas and condensate discovery” with the Bratwurst-1 well located in the Browse Basin off the North West Coast of Western Australia.

Shell submitted an environment plan for the drilling of the Bratwurst-1 well in January 2019 and gained approval in May 2019.

Shell said last Friday that the drilling of the Bratwurst-1 exploration well, within title AC/P64 , was concluded on December 4, 2019 after a 78-day campaign.

This campaign was completed in just over 18 months from bidding and 12 months from award of the AC/P64 title. Shell has a 100% interest in the license.

This discovery is located 160km north east of the Shell-operated Prelude FLNG facility and presents an opportunity for a future tie-back to Prelude. It supports Shell’s growth plans for more and cleaner energy, with LNG being the predominant focus for Shell in Australia.

“Gas is a core component of our strategy to provide more and cleaner energy solutions” said Zoe Yujnovich, Executive Vice President, Shell Australia.
