康菲石油授予巴罗萨天然气出口管道EPCI合同

据世界管道10月9日消息称，作为巴罗萨合资企业的运营商，康菲石油澳大利亚公司已授予巴罗萨天然气出口管道的工程、采购、施工和安装合同。

合同授予Allseas海运承包澳大利亚公司，内容涵盖260公里管道的采购、运输和安装、项目管理、工程及相关服务。

巴罗萨海上天然气和轻质凝析油项目目前处于前端工程设计阶段。在商定商业安排的前提下，当巴尤-昂丹当前的海上天然气供应用尽时，巴罗萨将为现有的达尔文液化天然气设施提供新的天然气来源。

巴罗萨的海上开发概念包括一个浮式生产储油和卸油设施、海底生产系统和天然气出口管道，这些设施均位于北领地达尔文市北部的英联邦水域。

天然气出口管道将把天然气从达尔文以北300公里的开发区运输到达尔文西北100公里的现有巴尤-达尔文管道的配套地点。

该合同是继2019年5月获得海底生产系统的工程、采购和建造合同以及2018年获得FPSO、海底基础设施和天然气出口管道的FEED工程设计合同之后的又一份合同。

康菲石油澳大利亚西部公司总裁克里斯·威尔逊表示，最新的合同授予是将巴罗萨定位为将达尔文液化天然气设施的寿命再延长二十年的最领先和先进的候选项目迈出的重要一步。

威尔逊先生表示：“这份EPCI合同的授予将使特定的项目管理和工程交付成果能够在最终投资决定之前得到进展，以满足项目时间表。”

“我们将继续与所有选定的承包商一起，专注于严格的成本纪律，开发所需的成本、进度和执行计划的确定性，以在我们的全球投资组合中竞争，并支持最终的投资决策。”

巴罗萨将满足未来全球对天然气的需求，并通过达尔文液化天然气设施的继续运营，为北领地和澳大利亚带来可观的收入、就业和其他利益。

ConocoPhillips awards Barossa Gas Export Pipeline EPCI contract

ConocoPhillips Australia, as operator of the Barossa joint venture, has awarded an engineering, procurement, construction and installation (EPCI) contract for the Barossa Gas Export Pipeline.

The contract awarded to Allseas Marine Contractors Australia Pty Ltd includes procurement, transportation and installation of the 260 km pipeline, project management, engineering and associated services.

The Barossa offshore gas and light condensate project is currently in the front-end engineering design (FEED) phase. Subject to commercial arrangements being agreed, Barossa will provide a new source of gas to the existing Darwin LNG facility when the current offshore gas supply from Bayu-Undan is exhausted.

Barossa’s offshore development concept includes a floating production storage and offloading (FPSO) facility, subsea production system and gas export pipeline, all located in Commonwealth waters north of Darwin, Northern Territory.

The gas export pipeline will transport natural gas from the development area 300 km north of Darwin to a tie-in location on the existing Bayu-Darwin Pipeline 100 km north-west of Darwin.

Award of the contract follows earlier awards for engineering, procurement and construction of the subsea production system in May 2019 and FEED engineering design contracts for the FPSO, subsea infrastructure and gas export pipeline in 2018.

ConocoPhillips Australia West President Chris Wilson, said the latest contract award was another significant step in positioning Barossa as the leading and most advanced candidate to extend the life of the Darwin LNG facility for another two decades.

“Award of this EPCI contract will enable specific project management and engineering deliverables to be progressed prior to a final investment decision in order to meet the project schedule,” Mr. Wilson said.

“We continue to focus on strong cost discipline with all our selected contractors, developing the certainty of cost, schedule and execution planning required to compete in our global portfolio and support a final investment decision.”

Barossa would meet future global demand for natural gas and contribute significant income, employment and other benefits to the Northern Territory and Australia through continued operation of the Darwin LNG facility.
