Equinor北极LNG工厂将于1月1日重启

据天然气加工网站10月12日消息 Equinor在一份监管声明中称，公司位于挪威的Melkoeya液化天然气工厂上个月在火灾中受损，预计将于2021年1月1日恢复生产。

挪威石油安全局当时表示，9月28日发生在工厂一台发电涡轮机上的大火在大约6个小时后被扑灭。

欧洲唯一一家大型液化天然气工厂位于北极城市哈默费特附近，每天可处理1800万立方米的天然气，这些天然气来自距离巴伦支海约160公里（100英里）的Snoehvit海上气田。

在将天然气冷却至液体后，再通过油轮运往欧洲和亚洲的能源市场。

Snoehvit气田由Equinor、派特洛、道达尔、海王星能源和温特沙尔所有。

Equinor's Arctic LNG plant to reopen on Jan. 1

Equinor's Melkoeya LNG plant in Norway is expected to resume output on Jan. 1, 2021, after it was damaged in a fire last month, the company said in a regulatory statement.

The fire on Sept. 28 in one of the plant's electricity-generating turbines was extinguished after about six hours, Norway's Petroleum Safety Authority said at the time.

Europe's only large-scale LNG plant, near the Arctic town of Hammerfest, can process 18 million cubic metres (mcm) of gas per day, which is piped in from the offshore Snoehvit field some 160 km (100 miles) away in the Barents Sea.

After cooling the gas until it turns to liquid, it is shipped in tankers to energy markets in Europe and Asia where it is converted back to its original form before use.

The Snoehvit gas field is owned by Equinor, Petoro, Total , Neptune Energy and Wintershall Dea.
