Woodside opens new LNG truck loading facility
伍德賽德新建液化天然氣卡車裝載設施開始運營
The Woodside-operated Pluto LNG Project has opened its new LNG truck loading facility, a key milestone towards development of a local LNG market for remote power generation and transport fuels.
伍德賽德運營的Pluto液化天然氣項目已經建成了液化天然氣卡車裝載設施，這對當地液化天然氣市場發展來說是一個重要里程碑，可用於遠程發電和運輸燃料。
The Premier of Western Australia, Mark McGowan, officially opened the facility at a ceremony in Karratha.
西澳州總理馬克·麥高文在卡拉塔的一個儀式上正式啟用了該設施。
Following the completion of commissioning activities, the facility will initially be able to deliver seven LNG truck loadings per day, each one transporting the equivalent of more than 80 000 litres of diesel. At this initial capacity, replacing that diesel with LNG could reduce lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions by more than 120 000 tpy. The facility’s capacity can be doubled by moving to 24-hour operations, and further expanded if needed to meet future market demand.
在完成調試後，該設施最初將能夠每天運送7輛液化天然氣卡車，每輛卡車裝載量相當於80000升的柴油。用液化天然氣替代柴油可以減少超過12萬tpy的溫室氣體排放。該工廠的生產能力可以通過24小時運營來翻倍，如果需要，還可以進一步擴大以滿足未來的市場需求。
Woodside’s initial focus is on supplying trucked LNG to mining operations and communities in the Pilbara, Kimberley and elsewhere in Western Australia for power generation, supporting regional investment through provision of reliable, flexible and cost-competitive energy. Trucked LNG will also be used to supply coastal marine vessels, including the LNG-powered Siem Thiima which joined Woodside’s fleet in 2017.
伍德賽德最初的重點是向皮爾巴拉、金伯利和西澳大利亞其他地方的採礦企業和社區供應卡車液化天然氣，用於發電，是可靠、靈活和並具有成本競爭力的能源，支持區域投資。卡車運輸的液化天然氣也將被用於供應沿海海運船舶，包括2017年加入Woodside船隊的液化天然氣動力Siem Thiima。
In the longer term, the availability of LNG from the truck loading facility could support the transition towards cleaner fuel for trucks and trains in the region’s heavy transport sector. Woodside is also planning to develop infrastructure for supplying LNG to the international shipping industry, particularly iron ore carriers on the busy trade route from the Pilbara to Asia.
從長遠來看，卡車裝載設施的液化天然氣供應量可以支持該地區重型運輸部門向卡車和火車使用清潔燃料的過渡。伍德賽德還計劃開發基礎設施，為國際航運業提供液化天然氣，特別是在繁忙的從皮爾巴拉到亞洲的貿易航線上的鐵礦石運輸船。
Woodside Chief Operations Officer Meg O’Neill said the Pilbara is an ideal hub for an LNG fuels market, with established LNG processing facilities located close to large-scale mining operations and port infrastructure.
伍德賽德首席運營官梅格•奧尼爾（Meg O'Neill）表示，皮爾巴拉是液化天然氣燃料市場的理想樞紐，已建成的液化天然氣處理設施靠近大型採礦作業和港口基礎設施。
“The Pluto LNG Truck Loading Facility is a further demonstration of our commitment to supplying domestic gas, and highlights Woodside’s drive to find new markets for our cleaner LNG.
“Pluto液化天然氣卡車裝載設施進一步證明了我們對供應國內天然氣的承諾，並突出了Woodside為我們的清潔液化天然氣尋找新市場的努力。
“Around three billion litres of diesel are imported into the Pilbara every year, mainly for the mining industry. In addition, the ships exporting iron ore to international markets from the Pilbara consume approximately five billion litres of heavy fuel oil annually.
“每年約有30億升柴油進口到皮爾巴拉，主要用於採礦業。此外，從皮爾巴拉向國際市場出口鐵礦石的船舶每年消耗大約50億升的重質燃料油。
“Woodside believes that LNG produced here in Western Australia can replace those higher-emissions fuels, delivering environmental benefits while supporting the growth of local industries and creating new markets for locally produced LNG,” she said.
伍德賽德認為，在西澳州生產的液化天然氣可以取代那些排放量更高的燃料，在支持當地工業增長和為當地生產的液化天然氣創造新市場的同時，提供環境效益。
O’Neill thanked the Pluto Joint Venture participants Kansai Electric and Tokyo Gas, downstream joint venture partner EDL Energy, trucking partner Linfox and foundation customer Sheffield Resources for their support in bringing the project to completion.
奧尼爾感謝冥王星合資企業參加者關西電氣和東京天然氣，下游合資夥伴EDL能源，貨運合作伙伴林福克斯和基金會客戶謝菲爾德資源為他們的支持，使項目完成。
