據7月1日oil now消息：卡塔爾石油公司是最新在圭亞那-蘇里南盆地占地的石油和天然氣公司之一，該公司將為其位于卡塔爾半島東北岸的North Field LNG擴建項目投入2億美元用于減排技術。這是根據該公司的債券招股說明書得出的。

　　招股說明書列出了“溫室氣體減排措施，包括安裝二氧化碳捕集和存儲系統、從太陽能發電廠進口電力、最大化的廢熱回收，利用最新可用技術提高機器效率，以及使用超低氮氧化物燃燒器。 ”

　　蘇里南國家石油公司(statatsolie Maatschappij Suriname N.V.)于6月18日宣布，根據產量分成合同，在最近的蘇里南海上招標中，石油公司獲得了兩個海上區塊。其中包括雪佛龍勘探蘇里南有限公司和一個由卡塔爾石油公司(20%)、TotalEnergies(40%)和Statsolie(40%)組成的財團。

　　卡塔爾石油公司能源事務大臣兼總裁Saad Sherida Al-Kaabi表示，該公司很高興獲得蘇里南區塊的開采權，這是該公司首次進入蘇里南。

　　據報道，卡塔爾石油公司也已與道達爾達成協議，獲得圭亞那近海兩個區塊的勘探和生產權。

　　卡塔爾石油公司在North Field項目的減排計劃旨在到2030年將其液化天然氣設施的總凈碳強度降低25%，并將其上游設施的凈碳強度降低15%。

　　與此同時，世界各地的油氣公司都面臨著減少排放和將支出轉向更清潔技術的壓力。

　　為了實現2050年的凈零排放，毫無疑問，各國政府將不得不依賴世界上六大私營石油公司的專業知識和合作：埃克森美孚、殼牌、英國石油、雪佛龍、康菲和道達爾。美國市場情報能源實踐聯合主管亞瑟·迪肯稱，這些被稱為“石油巨頭”的公司負責全球15%的油氣供應，擁有600多年的能源管理和生產經驗。

　　他表示，圭亞那Stabroek區塊的運營商埃克森美孚及其美國同行正在開拓碳捕獲、利用和存儲(CCUS)技術，并優先考慮成本較低的清潔原油儲層。

　　“Stabroek區塊的盈虧平衡成本在25-35美元/桶之間，其儲量主要由輕質至中輕質低硫原油組成，這些原油更容易提煉，成本更低。這些燃料不僅在全球范圍內需求增加，而且排放更少，利潤更高。埃克森美孚通過消除常規燃除和對浮式生產儲油船(FPSO)脫碳，可以為圭亞那鋪平一條低碳之路。”

　　盡管該石油巨頭在圭亞那FPSO的天然氣壓縮機系統出現故障，但該公司表示，浮式生產裝置和其他即將投產的裝置的設計都是為了避免常規燃除。

　　Qatar Petroleum to spend $200 million on emissions reduction technology

　　Qatar Petroleum, one of the latest oil and gas companies to take up acreage in the Guyana-Suriname Basin, will spend $200 million on emissions reduction technology for its North Field LNG expansion project off the north-east shore of the Qatar peninsula. This is according to the company’s bond prospectus.

　　The prospectus lists “greenhouse gas reduction measures including the installation of a CO2 capture and sequestration system, power import from solar power plants, maximization of waste heat recovery, improved machines efficiency utilizing latest available technology, and the use of ultra-low NOx burners.”

　　Suriname state oil company Staatsolie Maatschappij Suriname N.V. announced on June 18 that oil companies were awarded two offshore blocks under Production Sharing Contracts as part of the recent Suriname offshore bid round. These include Chevron Exploration Suriname Limited and a consortium comprising Qatar Petroleum (20%), TotalEnergies (Operator – 40%) and Staatsolie (40%).

　　Saad Sherida Al-Kaabi, Minister of State for Energy Affairs and President of Qatar Petroleum said the company is pleased to be awarded exploration rights in the Suriname blocks which represents its first entry into Suriname.

　　Qatar Petroleum is also reported to have entered into an agreement with Total for a share of exploration and production rights in two blocks offshore Guyana.

　　Qatar Petroleum’s emissions reduction programme at the North Field project aims to reduce the overall net carbon intensity of its LNG facilities by 25%, and that of its upstream facilities by 15% by 2030.

　　This comes at a time when oil and gas companies around the world are under pressure to reduce emissions and divert spending to cleaner technologies.

　　To achieve net zero emission by 2050, governments will undoubtably have to rely on the expertise and cooperation of the six largest private oil companies in the world: ExxonMobil, Shell, BP, Chevron, ConocoPhillips, and Total, writes Co-Director of Americas Market Intelligence energy practice, Arthur Deakin, in his most recent column published on OilNOW. Known as “Big Oil,” these companies are responsible for 15% of the world’s oil and gas supply and have over 600 years of accumulated experience managing and producing energy.

　　He said ExxonMobil, operator at Guyana’s Stabroek Block and its American counterparts are pioneering carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) technologies and prioritizing cleaner crude reservoirs with lower breakeven costs.

　　“The Stabroek block’s breakeven cost is between U$25-35 p/barrel, and its reserves are mostly composed of light to medium, sweet crude that is easier and cheaper to refine. These fuels are not only experiencing increased demanded across the globe, but they also generate less emissions and higher profits,” Deakin stated. “By eliminating routine flaring and decarbonizing its FPSOs, Exxon can pave a low-carbon path for Guyana.”

　　Notwithstanding challenges the oil major has been having with a faulty gas compressor system on its Guyana FPSO, the company has said the floating production unit and others to come, are designed to avoid routine flaring.
