据管道&天然气杂志网5月5日报道，法国石油公司道达尔（Total）和巴布亚新几内亚政府宣布重新启动巴布亚液化天然气项目，此前该项目因新冠疫情而推迟了一年。
5月3日，道达尔董事长兼首席执行官Patrick Pouyanne和巴布亚新几内亚副总理Samuel Basil率领的代表团举行了会议，旨在共同审查巴布亚液化天然气项目的下一步发展。
巴布亚液化天然气项目将针对PRL-15区块的两个主要发现，Elk和Antelope的生产，这两个发现直到2017年经过全面评估。预计这些气田生产的天然气将通过320 km（199 mi）陆上/海上管道运输至Caution海湾现场，将在2条拟修建的液化生产线上液化，总年产能为560万吨，并将其集成到Caution海湾现有PNG LNG设施。
巴布亚新几内亚政府和道达尔作为运营商宣布重新调动项目团队和其他所需资源。目标是在2022年初启动前端工程设计，并为2023年的最终投资决策做准备。这一积极进展是在2019年签署和重新确认《巴布亚液化天然气协议》、签署《财政稳定协议》和2021年2月授予许可证延期之后取得的。
Pouyanne表示，我很荣幸地欢迎巴布亚新几内亚副总理在我们位于巴黎的总部审查巴布亚液化天然气实施计划。这确实是巴新政府致力于这一关键项目成功的一个非常强烈的信号。我确认，鉴于该项目接近不断增长的亚洲液化天然气市场，因此在道达尔的投资组合中排名非常高，我们将投入所有必要的资源。
道达尔和巴布亚新几内亚当局将合作创造重大国内价值，并以模范的方式实施巴布亚液化天然气项目，同时高度考虑生物多样性和环境利害关系以及当地社区的权利。
道达尔经营Elk和Antelope陆上油田，是PRL-15许可证的最大股东，拥有31.1％的权益，与合作伙伴埃克森美孚（28.7％）和Oil Search（17.7％）一起，州政府拥有22.5％的后备权 。

Total and Papua New Guinea Government Remobilizing, Planning Papua LNG Project
France-based oil company Total and the government of Papa New Guinea announced the remobilization of the Papua LNG project after a year of delay caused by the Covid-19 pandemic.
Patrick Pouyanne, Chairman and CEO of Total, and a Delegation of Papua New Guinea (PNG) led by the Deputy Prime Minister Samuel Basil met May 3 with the objective to review together the next steps for the development of the Papua LNG project.
Papua LNG project will target the production of the two main discoveries of Block PRL-15, Elk and Antelope, that were fully appraised until 2017. It is expected that the gas produced by these fields will be transported by a 320 km (199 mi) onshore/offshore pipeline to Caution Bay site to be liquefied in 2 trains to be built with a total capacity of 5.6 Mt/y which will be integrated to the existing PNG LNG facilities in Caution Bay.
The PNG government and Total as Operator announced the remobilization of the project teams and of other required resources. The objective is to launch the front-end engineering design early 2022 and to prepare for final investment decision in 2023. This positive development follows the signature and the reconfirmation of the Papua LNG Gas Agreement in 2019, the signature of the Fiscal Stability Agreement and the award of the License extension in February 2021.
“I am honored to welcome the Deputy Prime Minister of Papua New Guinea in our head-offices in Paris to review the Papua LNG implementation plan,” Pouyanne said. “This is indeed a very strong signal of the dedication of the PNG government to the success of this key project. I confirm that this project is ranking very high in Total‘s portfolio given its proximity to growing Asian LNG markets and we will dedicate all necessary resources.”
Total and PNG Authorities will cooperate to create significant in-country value and to implement the Papua LNG project in an exemplary manner and taking into highest consideration the biodiversity and environmental stakes as well as the local communities’ rights.
Total operates the Elk and Antelope onshore fields and is the largest shareholder of the PRL-15 permit with a 31.1% interest, alongside partners ExxonMobil (28.7%) and Oil Search (17.7%), post the State back-in right of 22.5%.
