据世界天然气网站5月9日消息 澳大利亚桑托斯公司表示，巴罗萨项目的水下生产系统（SPS）协议已获得批准，此举加强了该项目作为达尔文液化天然气（DLNG）回填的领先地位。
在竞争性招标之后，Technip Oceania公司是供应水下系统的中标公司。
桑托斯在声明中表示，工程、采购和施工（EPC）合同代表着在最终投资决定之前对长周期项目的承诺。
合同包括井口、集管和控制系统的工程设计和制造以及安装和调试协助。
桑托斯董事总经理兼首席执行官Kevin Gallagher说：“这是巴罗萨获得的第一份工程总承包合同，我对其作为回填达尔文液化天然气主要项目的地位充满信心。”
他补充说，桑托斯在前端工程和设计（FEED）阶段取得了良好进展，包括对天然气出口管道的投标评估。
Gallagher说：“我们也在研究来自三井海洋开发公司和Technip/三星重工财团的浮式生产储存和卸载设施的技术方案。开发钻井合同的投标邀请函也已经发布，这进一步推进了该项目，达到了达尔文液化天然气项目的预期进度。”
基于该公司在该项目中的较高股本地位，巴罗萨项目的推进将使桑托斯在澳大利亚北部的产量翻一番以上。
位于达尔文以北300公里处的巴罗萨气田位于桑托斯的澳大利亚北部投资组合内，是该公司的五大核心长寿命天然气资产之一。
巴罗萨开发项目于去年4月进入前端工程设计阶段，目标是在2020年初做出最终投资决定。
桑托斯与合作伙伴康菲石油公司（37.5%和运营商）以及SK E&S公司（37.5%）共同持有巴罗萨卡尔迪塔合资公司25%的股权。桑托斯也是达尔文液化天然气项目的合资伙伴，持有11.5%的股权。

Technip FMC wins Barossa subsea production system deal
Australia’s Santos said the subsea production system (SPS) deal for the Barossa project has been awarded, strengthening the project’s position as the leading candidate for Darwin LNG (DLNG) backfill.
Following a competitive tender, Technip Oceania was the successful bidder to supply the SPS.
The engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contract represents a commitment to long-lead items in advance of a final investment decision, Santos said in its statement.
The contract includes the engineering, design and fabrication of wellheads, manifolds and control system as well as installation and commissioning assistance.
Santos managing director and CEO Kevin Gallagher said, “this is the first EPC contract to be awarded for Barossa and a big vote of confidence in its position as the leading project to backfill DLNG.”
He added that Santos is making good progress in the front-end engineering and design (FEED) phase including the evaluation of bids for the gas export pipeline.
“We are also looking at technical proposals for the floating production storage and offloading facility from both MODEC and the Technip/Samsung Heavy Industries consortium,” Gallagher said, adding that “an invitation to tender for the development drilling contract has also been released, further advancing the project to meet DLNG’s backfill timetable.”
Barossa’s development will more than double Santos’ Northern Australia production based The Barossa gas field, 300 kilometers north of Darwin, sits within Santos’ Northern Australia portfolio,The Barossa development entered FEED in April last year and is targeting FID in early 2020.
Santos holds a 25 percent interest in the Barossa Caldita joint venture along with partners ConocoPhillips (37.5 percent and operator) and SK E&S (37.5 percent). Santos is also a joint venture partner in DLNG with an 11.5 percent interest.
