據(jù)美國(guó)鉆井網(wǎng)站2021年4月23日奧斯陸報(bào)道，挪威能源巨頭Equinor周五（4月23日）在奧斯陸透露，Equinor和其合作伙伴挪威Petoro石油公司、法國(guó)道達(dá)爾公司、挪威海王星能源公司和德國(guó)溫特斯豪Dea公司已經(jīng)決定開(kāi)發(fā)位于巴倫支海南部的阿斯克拉德維斯特（AV）氣田，投資接近3.84億美元(32億挪威元)。

　　據(jù)Equinor稱(chēng)，作為挪威最大海上氣田斯諾赫維特大氣田多階段開(kāi)發(fā)的一部分，AV氣田將把哈默菲斯特液化天然氣廠的穩(wěn)定產(chǎn)量再延長(zhǎng)兩年。Equinor指出，哈默菲斯特液化天然氣廠計(jì)劃在2024年上半年開(kāi)始生產(chǎn)。

　　開(kāi)發(fā)AV氣田的工作范圍包括將AV氣田的海底底盤(pán)通過(guò)一條管道和一條控制管纜連接到阿斯克拉德氣田。從梅爾科亞的陸上生產(chǎn)廠到海底氣田的距離為121英里，Equinor稱(chēng)這是迄今為止到一個(gè)海底氣田開(kāi)發(fā)的最長(zhǎng)距離。

　　Equinor負(fù)責(zé)項(xiàng)目開(kāi)發(fā)的高級(jí)副總裁Geir Tungesvik在一份公司聲明中表示：“對(duì)Equinor及其合作伙伴來(lái)說(shuō)，以盡可能最佳的方式利用該地區(qū)的資源和現(xiàn)有基礎(chǔ)設(shè)施開(kāi)發(fā)AV氣田非常重要。”

　　Equinor Greenlights $380M+ Barents Sea Development

　　Equinor has revealed that it and its partners - Petoro, Total, Neptune, and Wintershall Dea - have decided to develop Askeladd Vest, located in the southern Barents Sea, with an investment close to $384 million (NOK 3.2 billion).

　　Part of the multi-phased Snohvit development, Askeladd Vest will extend plateau production at the Hammerfest LNG plant by two years, according to Equinor. Plans call for a production start in the first half of 2024, the company noted.

　　The workscope of the development includes tying the subsea template on Askeladd Vest back to the Askeladd field through a pipeline and an umbilical. The distance from the onshore production plant at Melkoya to the subsea field is 121 miles, which Equinor said is the longest distance ever to a field development.

　　“It is important to Equinor and its partners to utilize the resources and existing infrastructure in the area in the best possible way,” Geir Tungesvik, Equinor’s senior vice president for project development, said in a company statement.
