据世界天然气网站10月25日报道，澳大利亚液化天然气公司伍德赛德周四表示，位于澳大利亚西北海岸的大西部侧翼二期项目（GWF-2）已开始天然气开采。
GWF-2项目是伍德赛德运营的西北大陆架（NWS）项目的一部分。
该项目位于丹皮尔西北约135公里的英联邦水域，包括来自六个海上油田的八个海底油井（Keast，Dockrell，Sculptor，Rankin，Lady Nora和Pemberton），与现有Goodwyn A平台连接的耐腐蚀海底管道。
伍德赛德负责人彼得科尔曼在一份声明中表示，该项目已经交付了6.3亿美元，低于6个月前的预期成本约20亿美元。
他说，该项目代表了西北大陆架 Goodwyn A平台天然气供应的下一阶段，延长了卡拉沙天然气厂的寿命，并促使伍德赛德在2020年实现10000万桶的目标产量。
“随着我们开始下一阶段的发展，包括我们对斯卡伯勒和浏览海上天然气资源的拟议开发，GWF-2项目所展示的能力将继续推进，”科尔曼说。

Australia: GWF-2 project starts gas production
Australian LNG player Woodside said Thursday that the Greater Western Flank Phase 2 project off the north-west coast of Australia has started gas production.
GWF-2 project is part of the of the Woodside-operated North West Shelf (NWS) project.
The project is located in Commonwealth waters about 135 km north-west of Dampier and includes eight subsea wells from six offshore fields (Keast, Dockrell, Sculptor, Rankin, Lady Nora and Pemberton), tied back to the existing Goodwyn A platform by a 35 km corrosion resistant subsea pipeline.
Woodside head Peter Coleman said in a statement the project has been delivered $630 million below the expected cost of about $2 billion and six months ahead of schedule.
The project represents the next phase in gas supply to the NWS Goodwyn A platform, extending the life of the Karratha gas plant and contributing to Woodside achieving its targeted production of 100 MMboe in 2020, he said.
“The capabilities demonstrated on the GWF-2 project will be carried forward as we embark on our next phase of growth, including our proposed developments of the Scarborough and Browse offshore gas resources,” Coleman said.
