據9月28日Offshore Energy消息：雪佛龍的澳大利亞子公司已與鋁生產商美國鋁業簽署了一項協議，由后者從其液化天然氣項目中輸送家用天然氣。

雪佛龍表示，從2024年1月開始將在“多年期”內向美國鋁業提供額外的37 petajouls普通家用天然氣。

此次供應交易是在雪佛龍和美國鋁業于2018年12月簽署的一項現有協議之后進行的，該協議旨在供應64 petajoules的普通家用天然氣。

這家能源巨頭將從其惠特斯通和戈爾貢液化天然氣開發項目以及伍德賽德經營的西北大陸架設施中提供燃料。

此外，美國鋁業將使用該燃料為西澳大利亞州的三個煉鋁廠提供動力。

在滿負荷運轉的情況下，戈爾貢和惠特斯通天然氣設施將能夠為西澳大利亞市場每天生產500terajoules的家用天然氣。

雪佛龍稱，這一產能可以為430萬戶家庭提供電力。

Chevron in Australian domestic gas deal

Chevron’s Australian unit has signed another deal with aluminium producer Alcoa for the delivery of domestic natural gas from its LNG projects.

Starting in January 2024, Chevron said it would supply Alcoa with an additional 37 petajoules of equity domestic gas over a “multi-year term.”

The supply deal follows an existing agreement signed by Chevron and Alcoa in December 2018 for the supply of 64 petajoules of equity domestic gas.

The energy giant will deliver the fuel from its Wheatstone and Gorgon LNG developments as well as the Woodside-operated North West Shelf facilities.

Furthermore, Alcoa will use the fuel to power three aluminium refineries in Western Australia.

At full capacity, the Gorgon and Wheatstone natural gas facilities will be able to produce 500 terajoules per day of domestic gas for the Western Australian market.

This capacity could generate electricity for about 4.3 million households, according to Chevron.
