北海Troll气田创下了历史性的产量记录,2024年天然气产量达到425亿立方米。

Equinor 宣布北海 Troll 气田天然气产量创历史新高

这是该油田有史以来的最高年产量,比 2022 年创下的纪录(388 亿立方米)增长了近 10 %

“随着 2024 年 Troll 油田产量创下历史新高,Troll 油田确立了其作为欧洲能源安全支柱的地位。该油田为数百万家庭提供了稳定的天然气供应,对欧洲工业至关重要。这一里程碑是数十年来以高效和可持续的方式回收 Troll 石油和天然气资源的有针对性工作的结果。能够在欧洲最需要的时候提供如此大量的天然气是值得的,”Equinor 挪威勘探与生产执行副总裁 Kjetil Hove 表示。

Troll A 和位于 Kollsnes 的加工厂自 1996 年启动以来就一直通电。挪威大陆架 (NCS) 的天然气均来自当地,其生产和运输排放量是业内最低的。

今年的记录得益于高规律性、一年无周转以及提高效率的升级。Troll B 上的立管更换也在最大化产量方面发挥了重要作用。自 1996 年投入使用以来,Troll A 平台一直是 NCS 天然气产量的主要贡献者。2021 年,得益于大规模的海底开发,产量扩大到还包括储层西部的气顶。即使在投产 28 年后,这种扩张也有助于提高产量。Troll B 和 C 平台还贡献了大量通过 Troll A 输送到 Kollsnes 的天然气。

2024 年,Troll B 和 C 平台均部分实现电气化。这使得 2024 年的二氧化碳排放量大幅减少。初步估计表明,2024 年排放量减少了约 90,000 吨,即 2024 年排放量减少了约 15%。

近年来,科尔斯内斯的天然气加工厂经历了重大升级。通过与运营商 Gassco 的密切合作,产能已从 1.445 亿立方米/天增加到 1.56 亿立方米/天。这对生产记录做出了重要贡献。“开采更多 Troll 天然气和增加出口能力的努力显然有助于确保我们在欧洲的客户获得他们所需的能源安全和长期前景,”Equinor 天然气和电力交易高级副总裁 Helge Haugane 表示。

Equinor announces record gas production from North Sea Troll field

The Troll field in the North Sea has set a historic production record, delivering 42.5 billion m3 of natural gas in 2024.

Equinor announces record gas production from North Sea Troll field

This is the highest annual production ever for the field, and is an increase of almost 10% from the previous record from 2022 (38.8 billion m3).

"With record-high production in 2024, the Troll field confirms its position as a pillar of Europe's energy security. The field contributes to a stable gas supply for millions of households and is important for European industry. This milestone is the result of decades of targeted work to recover the Troll oil and gas resources in an efficient and sustainable manner. It is rewarding to be able to deliver such significant volumes of gas when Europe needs it most," says Kjetil Hove, Equinor's executive vice president for Exploration & Production Norway.

Troll A and the processing plant at Kollsnes have been electrified since the start-up in 1996. Gas on the Norwegian continental shelf (NCS) is locally sourced and has the industry's lowest emissions from production and transport.

This year's record is the result of high regularity, a year without turnarounds, as well as upgrades that have increased efficiency. Riser replacement on Troll B has also played an important role in maximising production. Since coming on stream in 1996, the Troll A platform has been the main contributor to natural gas production on the NCS. In 2021, production was expanded to also include the gas cap in the western part of the reservoir, facilitated by a major subsea development. This expansion has been instrumental in increasing production, even 28 years after the start-up. The Troll B and C platforms also contribute significant quantities of gas that are transported via Troll A to Kollsnes.

During 2024, both the Troll B and C platforms were partially electrified. This enabled significant CO2 emission cuts for 2024. A preliminary estimate indicates that emissions have been reduced by approximately 90 000 t in 2024, or approximately 15% in 2024.

The gas processing plant at Kollsnes has undergone significant upgrades in recent years. Working closely with the operator Gassco, capacity has been increased from 144.5 million to 156 million m3/d. This has been an important contribution to the production record. "The efforts to recover more Troll gas and increased export capacity clearly help ensure that our customers in Europe get the energy security and long-term perspective they need," says Helge Haugane, Equinor's senior vice president for gas and power trading.
