中国石化新闻网讯 据路透社报道，雪佛龙公司周四批准了其在美国墨西哥湾的Anchor项目，并表示该深水油田将需要约57亿美元的投资。

该公司在宣布其对该项目的最终投资决定（FID）时表示，该油田的首批石油有望在2024年产出。

全球能源和矿业咨询公司伍德·麦肯齐墨西哥湾团队的分析师贾斯汀 · 罗斯坦表示: “雪佛龙批准Anchor项目表明，美国墨西哥湾仍然为大型新油田开发提供了有吸引力的投资机会。”

Anchor油田位于路易斯安那州海岸约140英里处，水深5000英尺，它还需要能够处理每平方英寸2万磅压力的技术。

该设施的设计能力为7.5万桶/日原油和2800万立方英尺/日天然气。Anchor油田的总潜在可采资源估计超过4.4亿桶石油当量。

雪佛龙通过其子公司持有该项目62.86%的运营利益，并是该项目的运营商，道达尔旗下子公司持有该项目剩余的运营利益。

雪佛龙本周早些时候表示，预计本季度与墨西哥湾深水项目有关的减记将达100亿至110亿美元，因为需要更高的油价才能获利。此次减值还与该公司受到天然气价格低企影响的阿巴拉契亚地区页岩气资产有关。

伍德·麦肯齐预计Anchor项目是在未来18个月内，三个超高压项目中完成FID的第一个。 这家能源研究公司估计，这三个项目总共拥有约10亿桶石油当量的储量，将需要超过100亿美元的资本投资。

Chevron moves ahead with Gulf of Mexico project

Chevron Corp on Thursday gave the green light to its Anchor project in the Gulf of Mexico and said the deepwater oilfield would require an investment of about $5.7 billion.

Announcing its final investment decision (FID) on the project, the company said first oil from the field is expected in 2024.

“Chevron’s sanction of the Anchor project shows that the U.S. Gulf of Mexico still offers attractive investment opportunities for large greenfield developments,” said Justin Rostant, an analyst with Wood Mackenzie’s Gulf of Mexico team.

The Anchor field is located about 140 miles off the coast of Louisiana and is in water depths of 5,000 feet. It also requires technology capable of handling pressure of 20,000 pound-force per square inch.

The planned facility has a design capacity of 75,000 barrels of crude oil and 28 million cubic feet of natural gas per day. The total potentially recoverable oil-equivalent resources for Anchor are estimated to exceed 440 million barrels.

Chevron, through its unit, holds a 62.86% working interest in the project and is the operator, while Total SA’s unit holds the remaining working interest.

Chevron said earlier this week that it expects writedowns to the tune of $10 billion to $11 billion this quarter related to a deepwater Gulf of Mexico project, which needs higher oil prices to churn a profit. The impairment was also related to its shale gas assets in Appalachia, which has suffered from low natural gas prices.

Anchor is the first of three ultra-high-pressure projects that Wood Mackenzie had expected to reach FID within the next 18 months. The energy research firm estimates that the three projects combined hold about 1 billion barrels of oil equivalent in reserves and will require over $10 billion in capital investments.
