據(jù)普氏能源資訊1月20日悉尼報道，在其惠特斯通項目的預期啟動的驅動下，澳大利亞伍德塞德能源公司預測該公司今年的LNG產(chǎn)量將略高于去年。

　　伍德塞德能源公司在周四公布的其季度業(yè)績報告中給出了今年的產(chǎn)量指導，從去年的6370萬桶油當量提高到6300萬至6600萬桶油當量。

　　伍德塞德能源公司說，由于預期的世界級可靠性、缺少重大的計劃內變更以及惠特斯通產(chǎn)量的增加，該公司的LNG業(yè)務今年預計增加LNG產(chǎn)量。

　　伍德塞德能源公司說，來自具有年產(chǎn)890萬噸LNG能力的惠特斯通項目的第一號生產(chǎn)線將在今年年中生產(chǎn)出第一批LNG，第二號生產(chǎn)線將在6至8個月以后投產(chǎn)。

　　普氏能源資訊分析預計惠特斯通項目第1號生產(chǎn)線將在9月份投產(chǎn)，而第2號生產(chǎn)線將在明年3月開始生產(chǎn)。

　　Australias Woodside expects slightly higher LNG production in 2017

　　Sydney (Platts)--20 Jan 2017

　　Australias Woodside Energy is forecasting slightly higher LNG production year on year in 2017, driven by the expected start-up of its Wheatstone project.

　　The company gave production guidance in its quarterly results on Thursday of 63 million-66 million barrels of oil equivalent for 2017, which compares against 63.7 million boe for 2016.

　　Production increase is forecast for the LNG business due to expected world-class reliability, the absence of major planned turnarounds and the addition of Wheatstone production, Woodside said.

　　First LNG from Train 1 at the 8.9 million mt/year Wheatstone project is on track for mid-2017 and from Train 2 six to eight months later, it said.

　　Platts Analytics expects Train 1 at Wheatstone to come online in September and for Train 2 to start in March 2018.
