据普氏能源资讯2019年2月28日悉尼报道，澳大利亚昆士兰州周四表示，壳牌-中国石油麾下子公司Arrow 能源公司位于澳大利亚昆士兰州的苏拉特天然气项目日前获得了昆士拉州政府有关部门的批准。昆士兰州政府周四表示，这个项目是昆士兰州政府自批准格拉德斯通的3个液化天然气（LNG）项目以来批准的最大资源项目。

Arrow能源公司首席执行官钱明阳表示：“这些石油租赁协议的批准是Arrow能源公司向市场输送5万亿立方英尺天然气的一个重要里程碑。”

昆士兰州州长帕拉斯查克说，这个耗资100亿澳元(合71.4亿美元)的项目计划在2020年投入运营，生产用于LNG出口和国内使用的天然气。

昆士兰州表示，在27年内预计将有5000 Pj天然气投入市场，其中包括从2026年开始的峰值产量期间的240 Pj/年。

昆士兰州资源委员会首席执行官Ian Macfarlane表示：“天然气产量增加对所有天然气客户来说都是好消息，无论是国内使用还是出口。”

Australia's Queensland approves largest gas project since sanctioning LNG export projects

Shell-PetroChina subsidiary Arrow Energy has received approval for the Surat Gas project in Queensland, Australia, which is the largest resources project given the go-ahead in the state since the sanctioning of the three LNG projects at Gladstone, the Queensland government said Thursday.

"The approval of these petroleum leases is a critical milestone in Arrow delivering 5 trillion cubic feet of gas into the market," Arrow CEO Mingyang Qian said.

The A$10 billion ($7.14 billion) project, which is planned to produce gas for LNG export and domestic uses, is scheduled to be operational in 2020, according to Queensland premier Annastacia Palaszczuk.

The 5,000 Pj it is expected to bring to market is scheduled to be over 27 years, including 240 Pj/year during peak production from 2026, the state government said.

"More gas being produced is good news for all gas customers, both domestic and export," Queensland Resources Council chief executive Ian Macfarlane said.
