在因火灾事故而关闭三个多月后，澳大利亚监管机构已批准壳牌重新启动其在西澳大利亚近海的前奏号浮式油气生产设备（Prelude FLNG）。
3月18日，西澳大利亚州的新闻网站WAtoday报道说，监管机构取消了对壳牌重启前奏号的所有监管限制。除此之外，还表示，它没有限制重启的时间。这是因为重启核心仍然是保证人员的安全和设施的稳定。
Offshore Energy已与壳牌负责人联系，以求确认和进一步的细节。壳牌的一位发言人表示：“我们将继续有条不紊地为各个阶段做准备，以安全和稳定为首要前提，为重启油气设施。”
据了解，这并不意味着可以立即重新启动该设施。
壳牌的前奏号浮式油气生产设备（Prelude FLNG）可以每年生产360万吨液化天然气。此外，它每年还能生产130万吨的凝析油和40万吨的液化气。该设施位于布劳斯（Browse)盆地，距离西澳大利亚州的布鲁姆(Broome)小镇475公里。
2021年12月初，一场火灾事故和一次停电导致壳牌关闭了该生产设备。当时，澳大利亚海上安全监管机构NOPSEMA已下令该能源巨头保持关闭。监管机构还表示，该生产设备有遭受重大故障的风险。
然而，NOPSEMA发现，壳牌以适当的方式控制了船员直接面临的风险。因此，监管机构没有考虑起诉。
今年2月，壳牌的首席执行官Ben van Beurden说，前奏号浮式油气生产设备将在2022年第一季度的大部分时间里保持关闭。
壳牌持有67.5%的股份。此外，日本的Inpex公司持有17.5%的股份，韩国的Kogas公司持有10%的股份，而台湾的CPC公司持有5%的股份。
在最近与壳牌有关的新闻中，该公司的董事会可能面临法律诉讼，原因是 “未能为能源转型做好准备”。

Shell gets approval to restart Prelude FLNG
Shell has been given approval by Australian regulators to restart its Prelude FLNG facility offshore Western Australia after a more than three-month shut-down caused by a fire incident.
On March 18, the Western Australia online newspaper WAtoday informed that the regulator removed all regulatory constraints on Shell restarting the Prelude. The regulator also said it did not provide a timeframe for the restart. This is because the focus remains on the safety of people and the stability of the facility.
Offshore Energy has reached out to Shell, seeking confirmation and further details. A spokesperson for Shell said: “We will continue to work methodically through the stages in the process to prepare for hydrocarbon restart with safety and stability foremost in mind.”
It’s been understood that this does not mean that the facility can be restarted immediately.
Shell’s Prelude floating liquefied natural gas (FLNG) facility has the capacity to produce 3.6 million tonnes per annum of LNG. In addition, it can produce 1.3 mtpa of condensate, and 0.4 mtpa of LPG. The facility is located at Browse Basin, 475 kilometres from Broome in Western Australia.
At the start of December 2021, a fire incident and a power outage led to Shell closing the facility. At the time, Australian offshore safety regulator NOPSEMA had ordered the energy giant to keep it shut. The regulator also said that the facility was at risk of suffering a major failure.
However, NOPSEMA did find that Shell managed the immediate risks to the crew in an appropriate way. Therefore, the regulator did not consider the prosecution.
In February, Shell’s CEO Ben van Beurden said that the Prelude FLNG will remain closed for most of the first quarter of 2022.
Shell holds a 67.5 per cent stake. Additionally, Japan’s Inpex holds a 17.5 per cent stake, Korea’s Kogas 10 per cent, and Taiwan’s CPC holds 5 per cent.
In recent Shell-related news, the company’s board of directors may be facing legal action due to “failing to properly prepare for the energy transition.”
