石油圈中国石化新闻网讯 据世界天然气网站3月5日报道，美国能源巨头雪佛龙周二表示，已开始从位于澳大利亚西部昂斯洛附近的惠斯通液化天然气项目向国内市场供应天然气。 雪佛龙澳大利亚分公司在一份声明中说，由于每天可供应200太焦耳天然气，未来几十年，惠斯通国内天然气将通过与西澳大利亚客户签订的合同向当地家庭和企业供应天然气。 “我们对高更和惠斯通天然气设施的投资是澳大利亚的一个主要贡献者，澳大利亚现在是世界上最大的液化天然气（LNG）供应商之一，并为该州的工业，商业和家庭用户提供了安全的国内天然气供应，“雪佛龙澳大利亚公司总经理Al Williams说。 “作为一种可靠且具有成本效益的发电方式，清洁燃烧的天然气是当前和未来能源需求的重要能源。对于西澳大利亚州而言，重要的是，国内天然气将为当地就业、工业和社区提供动力，并在未来几十年为政府提供收入。 根据这份声明，雪佛龙运营的高更和惠斯通天然气设施在满负荷运转的情况下，将能够为西澳大利亚市场每天生产500太焦耳的国内天然气- 足以为430万户家庭供电。 声明称，天然气在西澳州电力生产中的高渗透性是西澳州电力生产的温室气体排放强度在澳大利亚最低的原因，约低于全国平均水平15%。 李方征 编译自 世界天然气 原文如下： Chevron starts Wheatstone domestic gas supplies US energy giant Chevron said Tuesday it started supplying natural gas to the domestic market from its Wheatstone LNG project near Onslow, Western Australia. With capacity to supply 200 terajoules of natural gas per day (Tj/d), Wheatstone domestic gas will supply local households and businesses through contracts with WA customers for decades to come, Chevron Australia, a unit of Chevron said in a statement. “Our investment in the Gorgon and Wheatstone natural gas facilities are a major contributor to Australia now being one of the world’s largest liquefied natural gas (LNG) suppliers and has enabled the development of a secure domestic gas supply for the State’s industrial, commercial and household users,” said Chevron Australia managing director Al Williams. “As a reliable and cost-effective way to generate electricity, cleaner- burning natural gas is a vital energy source for current and future energy needs. Importantly for WA, domestic gas will power local jobs, local industry, local communities and provide government revenues for decades to come,” added Williams. At full capacity, the Chevron-operated Gorgon and Wheatstone natural gas facilities will be able to produce 500 terajoules per day of domestic gas for the WA market – enough to generate electricity for 4.3 million households, according to the statement. The high penetration of natural gas in WA’s electrical power generation is the reason WA’s electricity generation has some of the lowest greenhouse gas emissions intensity in Australia, around 15 percent below the national average, the statement reads.
