石油圈中国石化新闻网讯 据路透社3月21日墨尔本报道，荷兰皇家壳牌公司周二说，为了帮助阻止短缺，壳牌公司将在明年年底前在其位于澳大利亚昆士兰州的作业区内钻取161口新气井，此举将有助于支持其以前作出的继续供应澳大利亚国内天然气市场10%需求的许诺。
由于现有气井产量下降，这个将在昆士兰州东南部苏拉特盆地作业区实施的项目已经计划了一段时间，新气井将在今明两年内钻取，这些新气井将维持壳牌公司每年向澳大利亚东部天然气市场的75拍焦耳的天然气供应。
壳牌公司说，新的钻井作业将不会影响壳牌公司昆士兰州柯蒂斯液化天然气厂的出口。
在澳大利亚东部各州在过去一年里多次停电和限电以后以及由于液化天然气出口增长导致了供制造商使用的天然气价格飙升，天然气供应如今在澳大利亚国内已成为一个热点问题。

Shell To Drill New Wells By End-2018 To Shore Up Australia Gas Supply

Tuesday, March 21, 2017
MELBOURNE- Royal Dutch Shell said on Tuesday it will drill 161 new gas wells at its Queensland operations by the end of 2018, helping to underpin its promise to continue supplying 10 percent of the domestic gas market to help prevent a shortage.
The project at its QGC operations in the Surat Basin in southeast Queensland has been planned for some time as existing wells decline, with the new wells due to be drilled this year and next. The wells will help sustain Shell’s 75 petajoules of gas supplies a year to eastern Australia’s gas market.
The new drilling will not affect exports from Shell’s Queensland Curtis liquefied natural gas (LNG) plant.
Gas supply has become a hot issue, following blackouts and brownouts in Australia’s eastern states over the past year, and as growth in LNG exports has led to soaring gas prices for manufacturers.
