壳牌Crux气田开发提案已获批

据OE网站8月4日报道，澳大利亚海上油气安全监管机构NOPSEMA已批准壳牌公司在西澳大利亚州北海岸的Browse盆地开发Crux气田的海上项目提案。

拟议的Crux开发项目由一个平台和五个生产井组成，将通过一条165公里的出口管道与Prelude浮动液化天然气（FLNG）设施连接。

NOPSEMA周二表示，经过“近两年的彻底而仔细的评估，”该计划已被接受。根据法定时限，这包括一个公众评论过程和考虑所有反馈。

监管者补充道，Crux的开发项目在进行之前还需要获得进一步的法规批准，包括已接受的环境计划，井作业管理计划和设施安全案例。所有必要的监管批准必须在活动开始之前就获批。

其称，根据监管要求，NOPSEMA将在接受决定后的10天内发布原因说明和OPP [海上项目提案]最终文件。

Shell's Crux Gas Field Development Proposal Accepted

Australian offshore oil and gas safety regulator NOPSEMA has accepted Shell's offshore project proposal for the development of the Crux gas field in the Browse Basin, off the north coast of Western Australia.

Consisting of a platform and five production wells, the proposed Crux development would connect to the Prelude Floating Liquefied Natural Gas (FLNG) facility via a 165km export pipeline.

NOPSEMA said Tuesday it had accepted the plan after "a thorough and careful assessment process of almost two years."

"In line with statutory timeframes, this has included a public comment process and consideration of all feedback," NOPSEMA said.

The Crux development is subject to further regulatory approvals prior to proceeding, including an accepted environment plan, a well operations management plan and facility safety case. All required regulatory approvals must be in place before activity can begin, the regulator added.

"A statement of reasons and final OPP [Offshore Project Proposal] document will be published by NOPSEMA within 10 days of the acceptance decision, in accordance with the regulatory requirements," it said.
