中国石化新闻网讯 据世界石油网2月14日报道，澳大利亚国家海上石油安全和环境管理局(NOPSEMA)已经接受了桑托斯关于西澳大利亚州Dorado海上开发的海上项目提案(OPP)。
Dorado是一个分阶段的液体和天然气开发项目，初始阶段的液体开发与气体回注，第二阶段的开发将回收天然气并将其输送到西澳大利亚州的液化天然气市场。
在2022年4月获得生产许可证后，Dorado现在获得了支持开发所需的主要监管批准。
Santos总经理兼首席执行官Kevin Gallagher表示，Dorado是一个令人兴奋的发展机遇，最近在邻近的Pavo油田发现的石油进一步增强了这一机遇。
Gallagher说：“我们现在的重点是敲定液体和天然气综合开发的概念，并获得支持最终投资决策所需的剩余批准。”
他评论说：“为国家液体燃料安全所能拥有的最好的应急储备是地下的石油，以及在最需要的时候生产石油的基础设施。”
Dorado和Pavo油田加起来估计有1.89亿桶液体和401佩焦耳天然气(桑托斯分别拥有1.47亿桶和320佩焦耳)。
Santos在Dorado和Pavo分别拥有80%和70%的权益，并经营这两个油田。剩下的权益由卡纳文能源公司持有。

Santos receives major approval for oil and gas development offshore Western Australia
WORLDOIL 14 February 2023
The National Offshore Petroleum Safety and Environmental Management Authority (NOPSEMA) has accepted Santos’ Offshore Project Proposal (OPP) for the Dorado development offshore Western Australia.
Dorado is a proposed phased liquids and gas development, with an initial phase of liquids development with gas re-injection and the potential for a second phase development to recover and pipe the gas to the Western Australian domestic and LNG markets.
Following the grant of a Production License in April 2022, Dorado now has the primary regulatory approvals required to support development.
Santos Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer Kevin Gallagher said Dorado is an exciting development opportunity which is further enhanced by the recent oil discovery at the adjacent Pavo field.
“Our focus now is to finalize the concept for an integrated liquids and gas development and obtain the remaining approvals required to support a final investment decision,” Gallagher said.
“The best emergency reserve you can have for national liquid fuel security is oil in the ground and the infrastructure in place to produce it when you need it most,” Gallagher commented.
The Dorado and Pavo fields combined are estimated to contain gross 2C contingent resources of 189 million barrels of liquids and 401 petajoules of gas (Santos-share 147 million barrels and 320 petajoules, respectively).
Santos has an 80% interest in Dorado and a 70% interest in Pavo and operates both fields. The remaining interests are held by Carnarvon Energy.
