桑托斯与GOLD FIELDS签署三年期天然气供应协议

据离岸工程网站6月16日消息 澳大利亚石油天然气公司桑托斯（Santos）与Gold Fields就其在西澳大利亚州的三座金矿签订了新的天然气供应协议。

从2020年7月1日开始，桑托斯将在三年内从瓦拉努斯岛天然气厂供应近5.5拍焦的天然气。

来自约翰布鲁克斯、哈里特和斯巴油田的天然气、凝析油和石油通过管道输送至桑托斯运营的瓦拉努斯岛处理设施。然后，销售天然气通过两条100公里长的管道输送到西澳州大陆，并在那里供应给主要的矿业和工业客户。石油和凝析油储存在岛上，并转移到油轮上直接出口。

桑托斯董事总经理兼首席执行官凯文?加拉赫在评论与金田的交易时表示，桑托斯继续通过提供价格具有竞争力的国内天然气，支持西澳大利亚矿业和工业。

“我们很高兴Gold Fields在短暂停产后重返桑托斯，巩固了我们作为西澳大利亚最大的天然气供应国在当地市场的地位。”

“桑托斯的天然气供应量约占该国内总需求的40%，我们承诺继续投资开发西澳大利亚的新天然气供应。”

“在这个充满挑战的经济时代，我们致力于确保本地天然气价格长期保持对西澳大利亚其他企业的竞争力。”

Santos, Gold Fields Pen 3-Year Gas Supply Deal

Australia's oil and gas company Santos has entered into a new gas supply agreement with Gold Fields Limited for its three gold mines in Western Australia.

Santos will supply nearly 5.5 petajoules of natural gas from its Varanus Island gas plant over three years, starting on July 1, 2020.

Gas, condensate, and oil from the offshore John Brookes, Harriet and Spar-Halyard fields is piped to the Santos-operated Varanus Island processing facility. The sales gas is then transported to mainland WA via two 100-kilometer pipelines, where it is supplied to major mining and industrial customers. Oil and condensate are stored on the island and transferred to tankers for direct export.

Commenting on the deal with Gold Fields, Santos Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, Kevin Gallagher said Santos continued to support Western Australian mining and industry through the delivery of competitively-priced domestic gas.

"We are delighted Gold Fields Limited has come back to Santos after a short hiatus, reinforcing our position as Western Australia’s biggest supplier of gas to the local market.

“Santos supplies around 40 percent of the State’s total domestic demand, and we are committed to ongoing investment in developing new gas supplies in Western Australia.

“In these challenging economic times, we are focused on ensuring local gas prices remain competitive for Western Australian businesses over the long term.”
