據(jù)離岸能源網(wǎng)站6月20日報道，伍德賽德能源公司已經(jīng)做出了在墨西哥開發(fā)大型高質(zhì)量Trion項目資源的最終投資決定。計劃于2028年開采第一批石油。

伍德賽德作為運營商，擁有60%的參與權(quán)益，墨國油PEMEX持有剩余的40%。

預計總資本支出為72億美元（伍德賽德股份48億美元，包括墨國油約4.6億美元的資本結(jié)轉(zhuǎn)）。預計該投資的內(nèi)部回報率（IRR）將超過16%，投資回收期不到四年。不包括資本結(jié)轉(zhuǎn)的預測內(nèi)部收益率大于19%。

該資源將通過一個浮式生產(chǎn)裝置進行開發(fā)，其石油日產(chǎn)能為10萬桶。該裝置將連接到一艘容量為95萬桶石油的浮式儲卸船(FSO)上。

Trion位于水深2500米，距離墨西哥海岸線約180公里，墨西哥/美國海上邊界以南30公里處。Trion是墨國油于2012年發(fā)現(xiàn)的。必和必拓石油于2017年收購其一項權(quán)益，隨后于2022年成為伍德賽德投資組合的一部分。

Trion的開發(fā)將包括安裝一個浮式生產(chǎn)裝置和浮式儲卸船以及在初始階段的18口井(9口生產(chǎn)井、7口注水井和2口注氣井)，在Trion項目的整個生命周期內(nèi)總共鉆了24口井。預計總資本支出為72億美元，包括所有24口井。未回注或未在浮式生產(chǎn)裝置上使用的天然氣將運往墨西哥市場。

伍德賽德首席執(zhí)行官梅格·奧尼爾表示，“Trion是伍德賽德在墨西哥灣優(yōu)質(zhì)生產(chǎn)資產(chǎn)組合中的一個有吸引力的補充。Trion是一種具有成熟開發(fā)理念的寶貴資源。我們強大的資產(chǎn)負債表和嚴謹?shù)姆椒ㄊ刮覀兡軌蛲顿Y于Trion項目，擴大我們的全球投資組合并提供長期價值。這一開發(fā)利用了伍德賽德在深水項目執(zhí)行方面成熟的專業(yè)知識”。

梅格·奧尼爾表示，“我們已經(jīng)考慮了一系列石油需求預測，相信該項目可以幫助滿足世界的能源需求。三分之二的Trion資源預計將在啟動后的前10年內(nèi)生產(chǎn)出來”。

Woodside Makes FID in Trion Development, Mexico

Woodside has made a final investment decision to develop the large, high-quality Trion resource in Mexico. First oil is targeted for 2028.

Woodside is operator with a 60% participating interest and PEMEX holds the remaining 40%.

The forecast total capital expenditure is US$7.2 billion (US$4.8 billion Woodside share including capital carry of PEMEX of approximately US$460 million). The investment is expected to deliver an internal rate of return (IRR) greater than 16% with a payback period of less than four years. The forecast IRR excluding the capital carry is greater than 19%.

The resource will be developed through a floating production unit (FPU) with an oil production capacity of 100,000 barrels per day. The FPU will be connected to a floating storage and offloading (FSO) vessel with a capacity of 950,000 barrels of oil.

Trion is located in a water depth of 2,500 meters, approximately 180 kilometers off the Mexican coastline and 30 kilometers south of the Mexico/US maritime border. Trion was discovered in 2012 by PEMEX. BHP Petroleum acquired an interest in 2017 which subsequently became part of Woodside’s portfolio in 2022.

Development of Trion will include the installation of an FPU, an FSO, and 18 wells (nine producers, seven water injectors and two gas injectors) drilled in the initial phase, with a total of 24 wells drilled over the life of the Trion project. The forecast total capital expenditure of US$7.2 billion includes all 24 wells. Gas that is not reinjected or used on the FPU will be shipped to the Mexican markets.

Woodside CEO Meg O’Neill said Trion is an attractive addition to Woodside’s portfolio of high-quality producing assets in the Gulf of Mexico. “Trion is a valuable resource with a mature development concept. Our strong balance sheet and disciplined approach enable us to invest in opportunities such as Trion, expanding our global portfolio and delivering long-term value. This development leverages Woodside’s proven expertise in deepwater project execution.

Trion has an expected carbon intensity of 11.8 kgCO2-e/boe average over the life of the field, which is lower than the global deepwater oil average.

“We have considered a range of oil demand forecasts and believe Trion can help satisfy the world’s energy requirements. Two-thirds of the Trion resource is expected to be produced within the first 10 years after start-up,” said O’Neill.
