据9月28日Offshore Energy消息：雪佛龙的澳大利亚子公司已与铝生产商美国铝业签署了一项协议，由后者从其液化天然气项目中输送家用天然气。
雪佛龙表示，从2024年1月开始将在“多年期”内向美国铝业提供额外的37 petajouls普通家用天然气。
此次供应交易是在雪佛龙和美国铝业于2018年12月签署的一项现有协议之后进行的，该协议旨在供应64 petajoules的普通家用天然气。
这家能源巨头将从其惠特斯通和戈尔贡液化天然气开发项目以及伍德赛德经营的西北大陆架设施中提供燃料。
此外，美国铝业将使用该燃料为西澳大利亚州的三个炼铝厂提供动力。
在满负荷运转的情况下，戈尔贡和惠特斯通天然气设施将能够为西澳大利亚市场每天生产500terajoules的家用天然气。
雪佛龙称，这一产能可以为430万户家庭提供电力。

Chevron in Australian domestic gas deal
Chevron’s Australian unit has signed another deal with aluminium producer Alcoa for the delivery of domestic natural gas from its LNG projects.
Starting in January 2024, Chevron said it would supply Alcoa with an additional 37 petajoules of equity domestic gas over a “multi-year term.”
The supply deal follows an existing agreement signed by Chevron and Alcoa in December 2018 for the supply of 64 petajoules of equity domestic gas.
The energy giant will deliver the fuel from its Wheatstone and Gorgon LNG developments as well as the Woodside-operated North West Shelf facilities.
Furthermore, Alcoa will use the fuel to power three aluminium refineries in Western Australia.
At full capacity, the Gorgon and Wheatstone natural gas facilities will be able to produce 500 terajoules per day of domestic gas for the Western Australian market.
This capacity could generate electricity for about 4.3 million households, according to Chevron.
