马来西亚 Jerun 油田的运营商 SapuraOMV Upstream 宣布已产出第一批天然气。该油田位于马来西亚沙捞越州民都鲁西北约 160 公里处，美里西北约 190 公里处。

Jerun 将使用中央处理平台，通过一条 80 公里长的新管道将天然气输送到 E11RB 生产中心，然后再进行输送。Jerun 平台的设计日产量高达 5.5 亿立方英尺，高峰期凝析油日产量为 15,000 桶。

壳牌综合天然气及上游业务总监 Zoma Yujnovich 表示：“石油是马来西亚乃至全世界的重要燃料，为供暖、制冷和发电提供安全能源。我们很高兴合资公司已经达到了这一里程碑。”

壳牌公司通过其马来西亚子公司 Sarawak Shell Berhad 持有该油田 30% 的股权，并于 2021 年就开发做出了最终投资决定。Jerun 由 SapuraOMV Upstream（40%）与 Sarawak Shell Berhad（30%）和 PETRONAS Carigali Sdn Bhd（30%）合作运营。Jerun 气田于 2015 年根据 SK408 产品分成合同被发现。

到 2040 年，全球对液化天然气的需求预计将增长 50% 以上，因为中国、南亚和东南亚国家的工业煤改气步伐正在加快。根据壳牌的《2024 年液化天然气展望》，这些国家预计将使用更多的液化天然气来支持其经济增长。

The operator of the Jerun field in Malaysia, SapuraOMV Upstream, has announced that first gas has been achieved. The field is located around 160 km north-west of Bintulu and 190 km northwest of Miri in Sarawak, Malaysia.

Using a central processing platform, Jerun will export gas through a new 80-km pipeline into the E11RB production hub for onward delivery. The Jerun platform is designed to produce up to 550 million cu ft of gas per day, with condensate production of 15,000 barrels per day during peak production.

“Gas is an important fuel for Malaysia and the world, providing a secure form of energy for heating, cooling and power generation. We are delighted the venture has reached this milestone,” said Zoë Yujnovich, Shell’s Integrated Gas and Upstream Director.

Shell plc has a 30% equity stake in the field, through its Malaysian subsidiary, Sarawak Shell Berhad, and made a final investment decision on the development in 2021. Jerun is operated by SapuraOMV Upstream (40%) in partnership with Sarawak Shell Berhad (30%) and PETRONAS Carigali Sdn Bhd (30%). The Jerun gas field was discovered in 2015, under the SK408 production sharing contract.

Global demand for LNG is estimated to rise by more than 50% by 2040, as industrial coal-to-gas switching gathers pace in China, South Asian and South-east Asian countries. These countries are expected to use more LNG to support their economic growth, according to Shell’s LNG Outlook 2024.
