據(jù)OE網(wǎng)站10月13日報道，Equinor在巴西的最新平臺Peregrino C于當(dāng)?shù)貢r間10月10日20:00左右首次生產(chǎn)石油。

Equinor表示，Peregrino二期項(xiàng)目將把Peregrino油田的壽命延長到2040年。第二階段增加2.5億——3億桶石油，同時在油田剩余壽命內(nèi)預(yù)計(jì)將每桶二氧化碳排放量減半。

Equinor負(fù)責(zé)項(xiàng)目、鉆井和采購的執(zhí)行副總裁蓋爾·通格斯維克（Geir Tungesvik）表示，我很高興我們已經(jīng)從新的Peregrino C平臺開始生產(chǎn)。疫情使Peregrino2期成為一個具有挑戰(zhàn)性的項(xiàng)目，要感謝所有參與項(xiàng)目的人，他們在HSE方面取得了優(yōu)異的成果。

Peregrino第二階段包括一個新平臺，與現(xiàn)有的Peregrino FPSO相連的鉆井設(shè)施和生活區(qū)，以及一條新管道，將天然氣進(jìn)口到平臺用于發(fā)電。Equinor表示，在運(yùn)營中，新平臺將在巴西海上和陸上提供350個長期工作崗位。

根據(jù)這家挪威石油和天然氣公司的說法，Peregrino第二階段項(xiàng)目原定于2020年底啟動，但疫情“嚴(yán)重打擊了該項(xiàng)目”，導(dǎo)致在關(guān)鍵的、通常是勞動力密集型的項(xiàng)目轉(zhuǎn)接階段裁員數(shù)次。

盡管如此，Equinor表示，Peregrino第二階段的交付在最初30億美元的成本估計(jì)范圍內(nèi)。

Equinor稱，根據(jù)Equinor公司的低碳戰(zhàn)略，該公司已采取措施減少Peregrino油田的二氧化碳排放。通過將Peregrino C的發(fā)電從柴油轉(zhuǎn)換為天然氣，第二階段每年將避免Peregrino油田排放10萬噸二氧化碳。這也將降低成本，簡化運(yùn)營階段的物流。

Equinor勘探與生產(chǎn)國際執(zhí)行副總裁Al Cook表示，Peregrino第二階段的啟動是Equinor在巴西發(fā)展戰(zhàn)略中的一個重要里程碑。該項(xiàng)目展示了我們?nèi)绾卧谕顿Y技術(shù)以減少碳排放的同時，將有價值的新資源投入生產(chǎn)。我很自豪，Peregrino第二階段將使油田產(chǎn)量達(dá)到11萬桶/天，同時將排放強(qiáng)度減半。

Equinor說，新平臺還配備了最新的數(shù)字工具，比如整個平臺的3D模型，操作員可以在現(xiàn)場的iPad上使用。Equinor稱，新平臺還配備了最新的數(shù)字工具，比如整個平臺的3D模型，操作員可以在現(xiàn)場的iPad上使用。

該公司補(bǔ)充道：“這改善了海上合作以及平臺與里約熱內(nèi)盧陸上運(yùn)營支持團(tuán)隊(duì)之間的合作。新的數(shù)字解決方案也將有助于優(yōu)化生產(chǎn)，減少能源使用，從而減少二氧化碳排放。”

Equinor Starts Production from Peregrino C Platform Offshore Brazil

Equinor's latest platform in Brazil, Peregrino C, produced its first oil on October 10 at around 20:00 local time.

Peregrino phase 2 will extend the life of the Peregrino field to 2040. Phase 2 adds 250–300 million barrels of oil, while at the same time halving expected CO2 emissions per barrel over the field remaining lifetime, Equinor said.

Geir Tungesvik, Equinor’s executive vice president for Projects, Drilling & Procurement, said: “I am thrilled that we have started production from the new Peregrino C platform. Covid-19 has made Peregrino phase 2 a challenging project, and I want to thank everyone involved for delivering the project with excellent HSE results."

Peregrino phase 2 consists of a new platform with drilling facilities and living quarters tied in to the existing Peregrino FPSO, as well as a new pipeline importing gas to the platform for power generation. In operation, the new platform will provide 350 long-term jobs offshore and onshore in Brazil, Equinor said.

According to the Norwegian oil and gas company, the Peregrino phase 2 project had been on schedule for planned start-up late in 2020 when Covid-19 "hit the project hard," leading to cuts in the workforce several times in the crucial and normally labor-intensive hook-up phase. 

Still, Equinor said, Peregrino phase 2 is delivered within the original $3 billion cost estimate.

"In line with Equinor’s low carbon strategy, measures have been taken to reduce CO2 emissions from the Peregrino field. By switching from diesel to gas for power generation on Peregrino C, phase 2 will avoid 100,000 tonnes of CO2 emissions from the Peregrino field per year. This will also reduce costs and simplify logistics in the operational phase," Equinor said.

"The start-up of Peregrino Phase 2 is an important milestone in Equinor’s growth strategy in Brazil. This project showcases how we can bring valuable new resources onto production at the same time as investing in technology to cut carbon emissions. I am proud that Peregrino Phase 2 will increase field production to 110,000 barrels per day at plateau whilst halving our emissions intensity,” says Al Cook, Equinor’s executive vice president for Exploration & Production International.

The new platform, Equinor said, is also equipped with the latest digital tools, like a 3D model of the entire platform that operators can use on an iPad in the field. 

"This improves cooperation offshore and between the platform and the onshore operational support team in Rio de Janeiro. New digital solutions will also contribute to optimized production, reducing energy usage and thereby CO2 emissions," the company added.
