據6月22日Offshore Energy消息：液化天然氣巨頭殼牌預計，在第三季度開始前，其位于西澳大利亞近海的Prelude FLNG工廠不會恢復生產。

殼牌近五個月沒有從FLNG出口任何貨物。其發言人在一份聲明中稱：“恢復時間將取決于疫情限制和對政府指令的遵守，這將導致設施上的人數減少。”

在幾次啟動延誤之后，Prelude于去年發運了首批貨物。

FLNG有能力生產360萬噸/年的液化天然氣，130萬噸/年的凝析油和40萬噸/年的液化石油氣。

殼牌運營著距離西澳大利亞布魯姆475公里的Prelude FLNG公司，持有該公司67.5%的股份。

Shell doesn’t expect Prelude FLNG restart before Q3

LNG giant Shell is not expecting to restart production at its Prelude FLNG facility offshore Western Australia before the start of the third quarter.

Shell hasn’t exported any cargoes from the FLNG for almost five months following an electrical trip on February 2.

“Start-up timing will depend on Covid-19 constraints and compliance with government directions, which will result in a reduction in the number of people on board the facility”, a Shell spokesperson said in a emailed statement on Monday.

The spokesperson said that due to these constraints and the impact on the start-up processes, “production is not expected before Q3”.

Prelude shipped its first cargo last year following several start-up delays.

The FLNG has the capacity to produce 3.6 mtpa of LNG, 1.3 mtpa of condensate and 0.4 mtpa of LPG.

Shell operates the Prelude FLNG, located 475 km from Broome in Western Australia, with a 67.5 per cent stake.
