    中国石化新闻网讯 据世界天然气网站3月30日消息 澳大利亚能源巨头桑托斯已作出最终投资决定（FID），将继续进行位于澳大利亚近海、价值36亿美元的巴罗萨天然气和凝析油项目。

    桑托斯是巴罗萨气田的运营商，该气田位于澳大利亚达尔文离岸300公里处。

    该公司周二表示，巴罗萨最终投资决定还启动了对达尔文液化天然气寿命延长和管道连接项目的6亿美元投资，该项目将延长设施寿命约20年。

    桑托斯运营的达尔文液化天然气工厂的年产量约为370万吨。

    桑托斯认为，巴罗萨是世界上成本最低的新液化天然气供应项目之一，将使桑托斯和达尔文液化天然气在全球液化天然气市场趋紧的情况下获得竞争优势。

    该项目是自2012年以来澳大利亚石油和天然气行业最大的投资项目。

    Santos takes FID on $3.6bn Barossa gas project

    Australian energy giant Santos has taken a final investment decision (FID) to proceed with Barossa, the $3.6 billion gas and condensate project, located offshore Australia.

    Santos is the operator of the Barossa gas field, which is located 300 kilometres offshore Darwin in Australia.

    The company said on Tuesday that the Barossa FID also kick-starts the $600 million investment in the Darwin LNG life extension and pipeline tie-in projects, which will extend the facility life for around 20 years.

    The Santos-operated Darwin LNG plant has the capacity to produce approximately 3.7 million tonnes of LNG per annum.

    According to Santos, Barossa is one of the lowest cost, new LNG supply projects in the world and will give Santos and Darwin LNG a competitive advantage in a tightening global LNG market.

    The project represents the biggest investment in Australia’s oil and gas sector since 2012.
