據(jù)世界石油7月26日消息稱(chēng)，荷蘭皇家殼牌子公司殼牌離岸公司，宣布了對(duì)Whale項(xiàng)目的最終投資決定 (FID)，Whale 是美國(guó)墨西哥灣的一個(gè)深水開(kāi)發(fā)項(xiàng)目，其特點(diǎn)是 99% 的船體和 80% 的上層是復(fù)制的我們的Vito項(xiàng)目。

　　殼牌上游總監(jiān) Wael Sawan 表示：“Whale是我們專(zhuān)注于簡(jiǎn)化、復(fù)制和縮短周期的資本項(xiàng)目的最新例證，以從我們的優(yōu)勢(shì)地位推動(dòng)更大的價(jià)值。我們依靠40多年的深水專(zhuān)業(yè)技術(shù)，提供具有競(jìng)爭(zhēng)力的高利潤(rùn)率的項(xiàng)目，這樣我們就能夠滿足今天的能源需求，同時(shí)產(chǎn)生所需的現(xiàn)金，為未來(lái)的能源發(fā)展提供資金。”

　　Whale將是殼牌在墨西哥灣第二個(gè)采用簡(jiǎn)化、經(jīng)濟(jì)有效的主機(jī)設(shè)計(jì)的深水開(kāi)發(fā)項(xiàng)目。通過(guò)這種開(kāi)發(fā)方法，殼牌預(yù)計(jì)內(nèi)部回報(bào)率估計(jì)會(huì)超過(guò) 25%。Whale 開(kāi)發(fā)項(xiàng)目將采用節(jié)能燃?xì)廨啓C(jī)和壓縮系統(tǒng)。這將是殼牌墨西哥灣投資組合的最新進(jìn)展，該地區(qū)的生產(chǎn)是全球石油生產(chǎn)中溫室氣體(GHG)強(qiáng)度最低的地區(qū)之一。

　　Whale 開(kāi)發(fā)項(xiàng)目由殼牌離岸公司（60%，運(yùn)營(yíng)商）和雪佛龍（40%）擁有，預(yù)計(jì)最高產(chǎn)量將達(dá)到約10萬(wàn)桶油當(dāng)量/天，目前估計(jì)可采資源量為4.9億桶油當(dāng)量。Whale將是殼牌在墨西哥灣的第12個(gè)深水項(xiàng)目，目前計(jì)劃于2024年開(kāi)始生產(chǎn)。

　　殼牌的能源發(fā)展戰(zhàn)略包括增加對(duì)低碳能源解決方案的投資，同時(shí)繼續(xù)追求最節(jié)能和最高回報(bào)的上游投資。

　　Shell commits to Whale development in deepwater Gulf of Mexico

　　Shell Offshore Inc., a subsidiary of Royal Dutch Shell plc, announced the final investment decision (FID) for Whale, a deep-water development in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico that features a 99% replicated hull and an 80% replication of the topsides from our Vito project.

　　“Whale is the latest demonstration of our focus on simplification, replication and capital projects with shorter cycle times to drive greater value from our advantaged positions,” said Wael Sawan, Shell Upstream Director. “We are building on more than 40 years of deep-water expertise to deliver competitive projects that yield high-margin barrels so that we are able to meet the energy demands of today while generating the cash required to help fund the development of the energy of the future.”

　　Whale will be the second Shell-operated deep-water development in the Gulf of Mexico to employ a simplified, cost-efficient host design. With this development approach, Shell anticipates an internal rate of return estimated to be greater than 25%. The Whale development will feature energy-efficient gas turbines and compression systems. This development will be the latest addition to Shell’s Gulf of Mexico portfolio where production is among the lowest greenhouse gas (GHG) intensity in the world for producing oil.

　　The Whale development, owned by Shell Offshore Inc. (60% operator) and Chevron U.S.A. Inc. (40%), is expected to reach peak production of approximately 100,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day (boe/d) and currently has an estimated, recoverable resource volume of 490 million boe. Whale will be Shell’s 12th deep-water host in the Gulf of Mexico and is currently scheduled to begin production in 2024.

　　Shell’s Powering Progress strategy to thrive through the energy transition includes increasing investment in lower carbon energy solutions, while continuing to pursue the most energy-efficient and highest-return Upstream investments.
