油價網(wǎng)7月10日報道，法國道達(dá)爾能源公司(totalenergy)周一表示，該公司及其合資伙伴SOCAR已開始在阿塞拜疆里海的Absheron天然氣和凝析氣田生產(chǎn)天然氣。

Absheron油田第一階段的開發(fā)能力為每天400萬立方米的天然氣和每天1.2萬桶的凝析油。

分析人士說，這些天然氣將在阿塞拜疆國內(nèi)市場銷售，這可能會從阿塞拜疆其他油田騰出更多天然氣用于出口。

道達(dá)爾能源和阿塞拜疆國家石油公司(SOCAR)在Absheron項目中各持有50%的權(quán)益，該項目由Absheron石油公司聯(lián)合運營公司(JOCAP)運營。

道達(dá)爾能源也是一家大型的液化天然氣交易商，該公司在一份聲明中表示：“Absheron氣田的開發(fā)提供了額外的天然氣供應(yīng)，以滿足不斷增長的需求，具有競爭力的技術(shù)成本和低溫室氣體排放強度，符合道達(dá)爾能源的戰(zhàn)略。”

歐盟在過去一年里實現(xiàn)了天然氣進(jìn)口多樣化，目標(biāo)是到2027年不再依賴產(chǎn)能大國天然氣。歐洲的液化天然氣進(jìn)口量飆升，從挪威的管道進(jìn)口量也有所增加，使挪威成為歐盟最大的單一天然氣供應(yīng)國。

歐洲也在尋求非洲和阿塞拜疆的天然氣供應(yīng)，以便在沒有產(chǎn)能大國天然氣的情況下滿足自己的需求。

去年夏天，歐盟和阿塞拜疆簽署了一項戰(zhàn)略伙伴關(guān)系協(xié)議，雙方承諾將所謂的南方天然氣走廊的產(chǎn)能增加一倍，到2027年每年至少向歐盟輸送200億立方米的阿塞拜疆天然氣。

TotalEnergies Begins Production At Giant Gas Field In Azerbaijan

TotalEnergies and its joint venture partner SOCAR began natural gas production from the Absheron gas and condensate field in the Caspian Sea in Azerbaijan, the French supermajor said on Monday.

The first phase of the development of the Absheron field has a production capacity of 4 million cubic meters of gas per day and 12,000 barrels a day of condensate.

The gas will be sold on the domestic market in Azerbaijan, which could free more gas from other Azerbaijani fields for exports, analysts say.

TotalEnergies and the State Oil Company of the Republic of Azerbaijan (SOCAR) hold a 50% interest each in the Absheron project, which is operated by the joint company Joint Operating Company of Absheron Petroleum (JOCAP).

“The development of the Absheron field provides an additional gas supply to meet growing demand, at a competitive technical cost and low greenhouse gas emissions intensity, in line with TotalEnergies’ strategy,” the French company, which is also a major LNG trader, said in a statement.

Analysts and Europe will be looking very closely at the next development phases of Azerbaijan’s gas fields as Europe seeks to import more gas from suppliers other than the bigger producer.

The EU has diversified its gas imports in the past year as it aims to ditch the bigger producer's gas by 2027.  Europe’s LNG imports have soared, pipeline imports from Norway have also increased to the point of making Norway the EU’s single largest supplier of natural gas.

Europe is also looking at African gas supply, as well as gas from Azerbaijan, to meet its demand without the bigger producer's gas.

Last summer, the EU and Azerbaijan signed a strategic partnership agreement with which they committed to double the capacity of the so-called Southern Gas Corridor to deliver at least 20 billion cubic meters of Azeri gas to the EU per year by 2027.
