据天然气加工网站1月11日消息 沙迦国家石油公司（SNOC）已宣布启动其新的天然气储存项目。这是自2017年初以来一直在使用现有基础架构进行小规模试点的阶段。
在经历了动荡的一年之后，2021年1月1日向该项目引入了第一批天然气，这标志着SNOC进入了一个新时代。该项目按时、按预算完成，距2019年12月授予EPC合同不到一年。
SNOC将在该项目完成后进入一个新的业务领域，这将有助于平衡对沙迦的天然气供需，并满足沙迦电力行业所需的供应灵活性。
考虑到由于疫情而导致的本地和国际供应链挑战，该项目的完成是一项了不起的成就。 SNOC首席执行官Hatem Al Mosa表示：“目前已经完成，没有任何运营，安全或环境事故。”
“这个项目的及时启动是SNOC一项重要的新业务开发活动。这将使我们能够在冬季存储多余的天然气以满足夏季的高峰需求，并为能源安全提供随时可用的战略储备，使我们能够应对意外的运营或市场问题。”
该项目包括安装高压（HP）气体压缩装置，HP天然气管道，公用事业和支持设施，计量和与现有工厂和井的连接。它将以具有世界一流的技术和安全标准的全自动模式进行操作。新的基础结构旨在允许将来扩展。
沙迦国家石油公司是根据Amiri法令于2010年成立，其任务是勘探、生产、工程、建设、运营和维护阿联酋的能源资产。除了新的Mahani油田外，SNOC拥有并经营着50口以上的井，一个天然气处理厂和2个碳氢化合物液体储存和出口码头。其Sajaa建筑群是连接北部阿联酋的天然气管道的枢纽。

Sharjah National Oil Corporation launches Gas Storage Project
Sharjah National Oil Corporation (SNOC) has announced the start-up of its new gas storage project. This follows a small-scale pilot phase using existing infrastructure that has been running since early 2017.
The first gas was introduced to the project SNOC will enter into a new area of business with the completion of this project and will help balance the gas supply and demand for Sharjah and meet the required supply flexibility for Sharjah’s power sector.
“The completion of this project is an outstanding achievement considering the local and international supply chain challenges we met due to the COVID-19 pandemic. It was completed without any operational, safety or environmental incidents,” said Hatem Al Mosa, CEO of SNOC.
“The timely launch of this project is a major new business development activity for SNOC. It will allow us to store excess gas in the winter to satisfy the summer peak demand as well as provide a readily available strategic reserve for energy security allowing us to respond to unexpected operational or market issues.”
The project included the installation of high pressure (HP) gas compression units, HP gas pipeline, utilities and support facilities, metering and tie-ins to existing plant and wells. It will be operated in a fully automated mode with world-class technical and safety standards. The new infrastructure is designed to allow future expansion.
Sharjah National Oil Corporation was established in 2010 by an Amiri decree of Sharjah’s Ruler, and is tasked with exploration, production, engineering, construction, operation and maintenance of the Emirate’s energy assets. In addition to the new Mahani field, SNOC owns and operates over 50 wells, a gas processing complex and 2 hydrocarbon liquid storage and export terminals. Its Sajaa complex is the hub of gas pipelines connecting the northern Emirates.
