Engie同AES合资经营,以通过Costa Norte LNG终端向中美洲供应LNG。该终端建设于Panama的Colón,由AES和Inversiones Bahía共同拥有。该终端的总流量约为150万吨/年。2016年末,Engie同AES签订合作营销合同,以帮助双方将LNG销往加勒比海地区及AES位于多米尼加共和国的Andres再气化厂。该厂及Coste Norte厂的总产能约为300万吨/年。双方的共同目标是为使用石油的发电厂提供清洁、高效的替代能源,并同时满足中美洲及加勒比海地区日益增长的天然气需求。
美国石油巨头Chevron已经取消Rosebank油气项目的浮式生产、储存和卸载(FPSO)船舶订单。韩国现代重工集团(HHI)2013年4月与Chevron签订FPSO设计验证、详细设计和全面设计、采购及施工合同,该公司表示本周二已收到Chevron终止合同的通知。2013年11月Chevron决定推迟该项目,与合作伙伴一起 “改善项目的经济状况”。2015年对该项目进行审查后,HHI和Bluewater Energy Services签订Rosebank FPSO转塔和系泊系统供应合同。目前,OneSubsea已收到一笔订单,为Rosebank的开发提供海底设备,总计价格超过5亿美元。
World tight oil production is expected to more than double between 2015 and 2040, increasing from 4.98 million barrels per day (b/d) in 2015 to 10.36 million b/d in 2040, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration's International Energy Outlook 2016 (IEO2016) and Annual Energy Outlook 2016 (AEO2016). Most of the projected increase will come from the United States, with much of the rest coming from countries such as Russia, Canada, and Argentina that have significant tight oil resources and existing, developed oil industries.
United States tight oil production, which reached 4.6 million b/d in March 2015 but fell to 4.1 million b/d in June 2016, has proven more resilient to low oil prices than many analysts had anticipated. U.S. tight oil production is expected to reach 7.1 million b/d in 2040 in the AEO2016 Reference case.
Other AEO2016 side cases that have different assumptions than the Reference case about oil prices, technological advances, and resource availability have different projected levels of tight oil production. Two oil price side cases illustrate the effects of higher or lower global crude oil prices. By 2040, the global benchmark Brent crude oil spot price averages $73/b in the Low Oil Price case, $136/b in the Reference case, and $230/b in the High Oil Price case. In the High Oil Price case, drilling activities increase cumulative production. The opposite is true in the Low Oil Price case, where production decreases in response to low prices.
In the resource and technology side cases, the estimated ultimate recovery for tight oil wells in the United States is 50% higher or 50% lower than in the Reference case. Rates of technological improvement that reduce costs and increase productivity in the United States are also 50% higher or 50% lower than in the Reference case. By 2040, these cases result in the largest differences from Reference case production values.
油气生产商PDC Energy Inc表示:其将以约15亿美元收购两家私人持股公司,以增加其在德克萨斯州Delaware盆地的区块面积。这两个私人公司都是由Kimmeridage Energy Management Co管理。该交易包括57000净英亩,净产量相当于7000桶油当量/天。PDC透露,该交易大约为0.915亿美元现金和价值5.9亿美元的940万股普通股股票。(路透社,Rigzone,8月23日消息)
