油气钻机据全球能源新闻网7月23日报道，壳牌特立尼达和多巴哥(通过荷兰皇家壳牌子公司BG International)宣布，特立尼达和多巴哥东海岸海域(ECMA) 5C区块已开始投产。这标志着通过大西洋液化天然气在国内和国际上输送天然气的一个重要里程碑。
综合天然气、可再生能源解决方案总监Maarten Wetselaar表示，如今的宣布增强了壳牌在特立尼达和多巴哥的弹性和竞争力。这是一个关键的增长机会，支持我们在该国的长期战略以及我们的全球LNG增长的雄心。
被称为Barracuda项目的5C区块，是一个回填项目，短期内天然气产量约为2.5万桶油当量/天(约合1.4亿立方英尺/天)，峰值产量约为4万桶油当量/天(约合2.2亿立方英尺/天)。这是壳牌在该国的第一个绿地项目，也是自 BG 集团收购以来在特立尼达和多巴哥最大的项目之一。
壳牌高级副总裁Eugene Okpere表示，我们为我们的人民和实现这一里程碑所付出的非凡工作感到非常自豪，特别是考虑到2020年5月新冠疫情期间开始钻探。我们的执行战略必须进行彻底改革，以在远程工作的同时实现我们的商业计划。其需要巨大的弹性、适应性和承诺。Barracuda项目包括两口海底油井(均为壳牌100%所有)，一口位于Endeavour油田，另一口位于Bounty油田。两者都与壳牌的Dolphin平台捆绑在一起。这是特立尼达和多巴哥最深的两口开发井； Endeavour 钻到了2万英尺(约合6096 米)的深度，而Bounty钻到16000英尺(约合4877 米)深度。
壳牌现在期待着22号区块和NCMA 4的四口井开发项目，即Colibri项目的交付。这是与Heritage石油有限公司的合资企业。Colibri的首批天然气预计将于2022年生产。

SHELL PRODUCES FIRST GAS FROM PROJECT BARACCUDA OFFSHORE TRINIDAD AND TOBAGO
Shell Trinidad and Tobago (through BG International, a subsidiary of Royal Dutch Shell) announces that production has started on Block 5C in the East Coast Marine Area (ECMA) in Trinidad and Tobago. This marks a significant milestone in the delivery of gas both domestically and internationally through Atlantic LNG.
“Today’s announcement strengthens the resilience and competitiveness of Shell’s position in Trinidad and Tobago,” said Maarten Wetselaar, Director of Integrated Gas, Renewable and Energy Solutions. “This is a key growth opportunity that supports our long-term strategy in the country as well as our global LNG growth ambitions.”
Block 5C, known as Project Barracuda, is a backfill project with approximately 25,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day (boe/d) (140 mmscf/d) of sustained near-term gas production with peak production expected to be approximately 40,000 boe/d (220 mmscf/d). It is Shell’s first greenfield project in the country and one of its largest in Trinidad and Tobago since the BG Group acquisition.
“We are immensely proud of our people and the remarkable work it took to achieve this milestone, particularly given that drilling began in May 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic,” said Eugene Okpere, Shell’s Senior VP and Country Chair. “Our execution strategy had to be completely overhauled to deliver our business plan, all while working remotely. It required tremendous resilience, adaptability and commitment.”
The ECMA is one of the most prolific gas-producing areas in Trinidad and Tobago. As part of Shell’s development strategy, the company has sought ways to access the significant volumes that exist in the ECMA and to bring them online. The Barracuda project comprises two subsea wells (both 100% Shell owned), one in the Endeavour field and the other in the Bounty field. Both are tied back to Shell’s Dolphin platform. These are two of the deepest development wells in Trinidad and Tobago; Endeavour was drilled to a depth of 20,000 feet (6,096 metres) while Bounty was drilled to a depth of 16,000 feet (4,877 metres).
Shell now looks forward to the delivery of the four-well development project in Block 22 and NCMA 4, known as the Colibri project. This is a joint venture with Heritage Petroleum Company Limited. First gas from Colibri is expected in 2022.
