據(jù)今日海上能源網(wǎng)站3月31日消息 澳大利亞庫珀能源公司（Cooper Energy）稱，其運營的位于澳大利亞近海的Sole氣田目前正在向東部天然氣管道輸送天然氣。
庫珀運營的Sole氣田位于吉普斯蘭盆地東部，距離澳大利亞維多利亞港約40公里。該項目涉及開發(fā)唯一的海上氣田和升級奧博斯特天然氣廠，每年供應約24拍焦。
周二，庫珀稱奧博斯特天然氣處理廠的第二階段調試正在進行中。
該工廠由APA集團（APA）運營，已證明其有能力從Sole的氣田生產(chǎn)符合規(guī)格的銷售天然氣，并已開始向東部天然氣管道（EGP）供氣。
庫珀指出，交付給EGP的初始容量較小，變化很大，并且受調試要求的影響。庫珀說，3月29日（周日）的市場銷售額為21萬億焦耳，日產(chǎn)量高達50萬億焦耳。
根據(jù)該公司的說法，隨著工廠生產(chǎn)測試的調試進行，產(chǎn)能可能會繼續(xù)變化，將達到68 萬億焦耳/天。
從Sole氣田到定期天然氣銷售協(xié)議的固定天然氣供應將在工廠生產(chǎn)測試完成后開始。

Cooper’s Sole field starts gas supply into pipeline
Australia’s Cooper Energy has informed that its operated Sole gas field, located offshore Australia, is now producing gas to the Eastern Gas Pipeline.
The Cooper-operated Sole gas field is located in the eastern part of the Gippsland Basin, approximately 40km offshore Victoria, Australia. The project involves the development of the Sole offshore gas field and upgrade of the Orbost gas plant to supply approximately 24 PJ per annum.
In an update on Tuesday, Cooper said that the second phase commissioning of the Orbost Gas Processing Plant is underway.
The plant, which is operated by APA Group (APA), has demonstrated its capability to produce sales gas to specification from the Sole gas field and has started gas supply into the Eastern Gas Pipeline (EGP).
Cooper noted that the initial volumes delivered to the EGP were small, variable, and influenced by commissioning requirements. Sales to market on Sunday, March 29 were 21 TJ, with production rates of up to 50 TJ/d, Cooper said.
According to the company, it is likely that production rates will continue to be variable as commissioning proceeds to the plant production test, which requires a sustained rate of 68 TJ/day.
The beginning of firm gas supply from the Sole gas field to term gas sales agreements will begin after the completion of the plant production test.
