???? 據世界天然氣網站3月30日消息 澳大利亞能源巨頭桑托斯已作出最終投資決定（FID），將繼續進行位于澳大利亞近海、價值36億美元的巴羅薩天然氣和凝析油項目。

????桑托斯是巴羅薩氣田的運營商，該氣田位于澳大利亞達爾文離岸300公里處。

????該公司周二表示，巴羅薩最終投資決定還啟動了對達爾文液化天然氣壽命延長和管道連接項目的6億美元投資，該項目將延長設施壽命約20年。

????桑托斯運營的達爾文液化天然氣工廠的年產量約為370萬噸。

????桑托斯認為，巴羅薩是世界上成本最低的新液化天然氣供應項目之一，將使桑托斯和達爾文液化天然氣在全球液化天然氣市場趨緊的情況下獲得競爭優勢。

????該項目是自2012年以來澳大利亞石油和天然氣行業最大的投資項目。

????Santos takes FID on $3.6bn Barossa gas project

????Australian energy giant Santos has taken a final investment decision (FID) to proceed with Barossa, the $3.6 billion gas and condensate project, located offshore Australia.

????Santos is the operator of the Barossa gas field, which is located 300 kilometres offshore Darwin in Australia.

????The company said on Tuesday that the Barossa FID also kick-starts the $600 million investment in the Darwin LNG life extension and pipeline tie-in projects, which will extend the facility life for around 20 years.

????The Santos-operated Darwin LNG plant has the capacity to produce approximately 3.7 million tonnes of LNG per annum.

????According to Santos, Barossa is one of the lowest cost, new LNG supply projects in the world and will give Santos and Darwin LNG a competitive advantage in a tightening global LNG market.

????The project represents the biggest investment in Australia’s oil and gas sector since 2012.
