雪佛龙 公司 8 月 12 日表示，该公司已开始在墨西哥湾深水区 Anchor 项目生产石油和天然气。

Chevon 在新闻稿中表示，锚固生产标志着高压技术的成功交付，该技术的安全运行压力高达 20,000 psi，油藏深度达到海平面以下 34,000 英尺。这项耗资 57 亿美元的项目于 2019 年做出了最终投资决定。

Anchor 半潜式浮式生产装置 (FPU) 总设计产能为每天 75,000 桶石油和 2800 万立方英尺天然气。

Anchor 开发项目将包括七口与 Anchor FPU 相连的海底油井，位于 Green Canyon 地区，距路易斯安那州海岸约 140 英里（225 公里），水深约为 5,000 英尺（1,524 米）。

Anchor Field 的总可采资源量估计高达 4.4 亿桶油当量。

雪佛龙石油、产品和天然气执行副总裁 Nigel Hearne 表示：“Anchor 项目代表了能源行业的一次突破。这项行业首创的深水技术的应用使我们能够开采以前难以开采的资源，并将为行业带来类似的深水高压开发。”

雪佛龙美洲勘探与生产公司总裁布鲁斯·尼迈耶表示，雪佛龙已经证明其有能力在墨西哥湾预算范围内安全交付项目。

他说：“Anchor 项目提供价格实惠、可靠、低碳强度的石油和天然气，帮助满足能源需求，同时促进墨西哥湾沿岸社区的经济活动。”

Anchor FPU 是雪佛龙目前在墨西哥湾运营的第六家生产设施。到 2026 年，雪佛龙在墨西哥湾的运营和非运营设施预计将合计生产 300,000 桶油当量/天。

为了减少碳排放，Anchor FPU 被设计为全电动设施，配备电动机和电子控制装置。此外，FPU 利用废热和蒸汽回收装置以及现有的管道基础设施将石油和天然气直接输送到美国墨西哥湾沿岸市场。

雪佛龙通过其子公司 Chevron USA Inc. 担任 Anchor 项目的运营商，并持有该项目 62.86% 的权益。共同所有者TotalEnergies E&P USA Inc. 持有 37.14% 的权益。

Chevron has started oil and natural gas production from the Anchor project in the deepwater Gulf of Mexico, the company said on Aug. 12.

Anchor production marks the successful delivery of high-pressure technology rated to safely operate at up to 20,000 psi, with reservoir depths reaching 34,000 ft below sea level, Chevon said in a press release. The $5.7 billion project reached final investment decision in 2019.

The Anchor semisubmersible floating production unit (FPU) has a gross design capacity of 75,000 bbl/d of oil and 28 MMcf/d of natural gas.

The Anchor development will consist of seven subsea wells tied into the Anchor FPU, located in the Green Canyon area, approximately 140 miles (225 km) off the coast of Louisiana, in water depths of approximately 5,000 ft (1,524 m).

Total recoverable resources from the Anchor Field are estimated to be up to 440 MMboe.

"The Anchor project represents a breakthrough for the energy industry," said Nigel Hearne, executive vice president, Chevron oil, products & gas. "Application of this industry-first deepwater technology allows us to unlock previously difficult-to-access resources and will enable similar deepwater high-pressure developments for the industry."

Bruce Niemeyer, president, Chevron Americas Exploration & Production, said Chevron has demonstrated its ability to safely deliver projects within budget in the GoM.

"The Anchor project provides affordable, reliable, lower carbon intensity oil and natural gas to help meet energy demand, while boosting economic activity for Gulf Coast communities," he said.

The Anchor FPU is Chevron's sixth operated facility currently producing in the GoM. Chevron's operated and non-operated facilities in the Gulf are expected to produce a combined 300,000 net boe/d by 2026.

To reduce carbon emissions, the Anchor FPU was designed as an all-electric facility with electric motors and electronic controls. Additionally, the FPU utilizes waste heat and vapor recovery units as well as existing pipeline infrastructure to transport oil and natural gas directly to U.S. Gulf Coast markets.

Chevron, through its subsidiary Chevron U.S.A. Inc., is operator and holds a 62.86% working interest in the Anchor project. Co-owner TotalEnergies E&P USA Inc. holds a 37.14% working interest.
