據(jù)能源世界網(wǎng)7月27日倫敦報(bào)道,荷蘭皇家殼牌(Royal Dutch Shell)周一宣布了在墨西哥灣開發(fā)一個(gè)新油田的計(jì)劃,這是該公司自荷蘭法院下令加速實(shí)現(xiàn)碳減排目標(biāo)以來(lái)首個(gè)獲批的大型項(xiàng)目。
殼牌在一份聲明中表示,該Whale項(xiàng)目由殼牌和雪佛龍共同運(yùn)營(yíng),殼牌擁有該項(xiàng)目60%的股權(quán),雪佛龍擁有40%的股權(quán),預(yù)計(jì)最高日產(chǎn)量將達(dá)到約10萬(wàn)桶油當(dāng)量。
Whale于2017年被發(fā)現(xiàn),可采資源量為4.9億桶油當(dāng)量,計(jì)劃于2024年投產(chǎn)。
今年 5 月,海牙一家法院命令殼牌加快其能源轉(zhuǎn)型計(jì)劃,并且到2030年將溫室氣體排放量減少 45 %,這一速度明顯快于目前的計(jì)劃。這樣的削減將意味著其石油和天然氣業(yè)務(wù)的下降。
殼牌表示,將尋求加快加速能源轉(zhuǎn)型戰(zhàn)略,深化碳減排,盡管計(jì)劃對(duì)這一具有里程碑意義的裁決提出上訴。
殼牌油氣生產(chǎn)主管Wael Sawan在一份聲明中表示,深水Whale項(xiàng)目將使用與殼牌現(xiàn)有的Vito油田附近類似的平臺(tái),預(yù)計(jì)這將減少開發(fā)時(shí)間和成本。
殼牌周一表示,其“能源轉(zhuǎn)型計(jì)劃包括加大對(duì)低碳能源解決方案的投資,同時(shí)繼續(xù)追求最節(jié)能、回報(bào)率最高的上游投資?!?/p>
殼牌表示,預(yù)計(jì)Whale的內(nèi)部回報(bào)率將超過(guò)25%,遠(yuǎn)高于該行業(yè)10%-15%的平均水平。

Shell greenlights Gulf of Mexico 'Whale' oilfield project
Royal Dutch Shell announced plans on Monday to develop a new oilfield in the Gulf of Mexico, its first major project to get the go-ahead since a Dutch court ordered the energy company to accelerate its carbon emissions reduction targets.
The Whale development, operated by Shell which owns 60per cent of the project, alongside Chevron with 40per cent, is expected to reach peak production of around 100,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day (boed), Shell said in a statement.
Whale, which was discovered in 2017, holds a recoverable resource of 490 million barrels of oil equivalent and is scheduled to begin production in 2024.
In May, a court in The Hague ordered Shell to accelerate its energy transition plans and reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 45per cent by 2030, significantly faster than its current plan. Such cuts would mean shrinking its oil and gas business.
Shell said it will seek ways to accelerate its energy transition strategy and deepen carbon emission cuts, although it plans to appeal against the landmark ruling.
The deep-water Whale project will use a similar platform to an existing nearby Shell field, Vito, which is expected to reduce the development time and costs, Wael Sawan, Shell's head of oil and gas production, or uptream, said in a statement.
Shell said on Monday that its "energy transition plan includes increasing investment in lower carbon energy solutions, while continuing to pursue the most energy-efficient and highest-return upstream investments."
Shell said it anticipates Whale will deliver an internal rate of return of over 25per cent, significantly higher than the sector's average of 10per cent to 15per cent.
