马士基石油大幅削减卡尔津天然气项目投资费用

中国石化新闻网讯 据海外媒体12月14日哥本哈根报道，丹麦马士基石油公司13日在哥本哈根说，由于钻井效率改善和良好的前期设计和项目规划，该公司日前把其位于英国北海中部的卡尔津高压高温天然气项目的投资费用大幅削减了5亿美元。

马士基石油公司首席执行官沃特金斯在哥本哈根举行的马士基集团资本市场日上说，卡尔津天然气项目的投资费用现在估计大约在40亿美元，比项目批准时的估计减少了5亿美元。

沃特金斯说，项目投资费用的显著改善是在与合作伙伴、供应商和当局的密切合作以后取得的。

目前这个项目的保本估计在33美元/桶油当量，其中包括批准后的费用。

卡尔津高压高温天然气项目仍计划在2019年开始首次天然气生产。

COPENHAGEN -- Maersk Oil has announced that the capital costs of its Culzean HPHT gas project, in the UK Central North Sea, have been reduced by $500 million as a result of improved drilling efficiency and robust upfront design and project planning.

Investment costs for the Culzean project are now forecast to be approximately $4 billion, a reduction of $500 million compared to the estimate at project sanction, CEO Gretchen Watkins said at the Maersk Group capital markets day in Copenhagen. A significant improvement of project capex has been achieved in close collaboration with partners, suppliers and the authorities. The present break-even estimate for the project now stands at $33/boe, including cost since sanction.

Culzean remains on schedule to deliver first production in 2019.
