圭亞那將緩解埃克森美孚FPSO原油減產(chǎn)的影響

據(jù)石油世界期刊4月20日西班牙港報道，日前，圭亞那自然資源部表示，圭亞那正在考慮采取未指明的經(jīng)濟措施，以緩解美國石油巨頭?？松梨?ExxonMobil)深水Stabroek區(qū)塊多次減產(chǎn)的影響。

自2019年12月開始產(chǎn)油以來，Liza Destiny浮式生產(chǎn)儲存卸載（FPSO）船屢次出現(xiàn)技術(shù)問題，導致產(chǎn)量下降。由于這些問題，本周的產(chǎn)量從12萬桶/天削減到3萬桶/天。

該國政府表示，對?？松梨谖茨芗m正反復出現(xiàn)的問題感到“非常失望”，而且“……正在研究產(chǎn)量損失的影響，以及由此造成的收入和收益損失，包括可能不得不采取的保護國家利益的措施?！?/span>

?？松梨诒硎?，最新的問題是排氣消音器，它是最近維修和重新安裝的氣體壓縮機的一部分。該公司對Argus表示，“對該部門持續(xù)表現(xiàn)不佳感到非常失望?！痹摴菊c壓縮設(shè)備制造商曼恩能源解決方案公司（man energy solutions）和FPSO的運營商SBM Offshore合作，以糾正這種情況。

這是該公司第三次因技術(shù)問題而削減Liza Destiny的產(chǎn)量。去年首次出現(xiàn)的問題將2020年6月的產(chǎn)量降至2.75萬桶/日的低點，并延遲了FPSO在去年12月之前達到12萬桶/日的目標，比計劃晚了9個月。

?？松梨跊]有表明，預計何時能解決問題、提高原油產(chǎn)量。

埃克森美孚表示，最近的天然氣壓縮機問題迫使?？松梨趯a(chǎn)量降至“最低水平，以緩解水下系統(tǒng)中水合物的形成，維持向發(fā)電機的天然氣注入和燃料氣，并將燃燒降至最低”。

Guyana planning to offset Exxon FPSO crude output cuts

Guyana is considering unspecified economic measures to cushion the impact of repeated production cuts from US major ExxonMobil's deepwater Stabroek block, the natural resources ministry said.

Since it started oil production in December 2019 there have been repeated technical issues on the Liza Destiny floating production, storage and offloading (FPSO) vessel that have cut output. This week production was cut from 120,000 b/d to 30,000 b/d because of such issues.

The government said it is "highly disappointed" that ExxonMobil has been unable to rectify recurring problems, and "... is examining the implications of the loss of output, and consequently loss of income and revenue, including measures that it may have to institute to protect national interest."

The latest problem is with a discharge silencer that is part of a recently repaired and reinstalled gas compressor, ExxonMobil said. The company told Argus it is "extremely disappointed by the continued underperformance of this unit." It is working with compression equipment manufacturer MAN Energy Solutions and the FPSO's operator, SBM Offshore, to rectify the situation.

This is the third time the technical problems have forced the company to trim output on the Liza Destiny . The issue that first arose last year suppressed production to a low of 27,500 b/d in June 2020, and impeded the FPSO from reaching a 120,000 b/d target until December, nine months behind schedule.

ExxonMobil has not indicated when it expects the problem to be rectified and crude output increased.

The latest problem with the gas compressor forced ExxonMobil to reduce production "to a minimum level that mitigates formation of hydrates in subsea systems, maintains gas injection and fuel gas to the power generators, and minimizes flare," the company said.
