Сфера деятельности

Woodside Petroleum Limited – австралийская независимая нефтяная компания, специализирующаяся на разведке и добыче нефти и газа, производстве нефтепродуктов и сжиженного природного газа. Woodside является публичной компанией, акции которой торгуются на бирже ASX. Штаб-квартира располагается в здании «Вудсайд-Плаза» (англ. Woodside Plaza) в городе Перт, Западная Австралия.

В Австралии Woodside разрабатывает месторождения Северо-Западного шельфа (англ. North West Shelf Venture), который включает в себя целый ряд газовых и газоконденсатных месторождений, включая Гудвин (англ. Goodwyn) и Норт-Ренкин (англ. North Rankin). От месторождений газ поступает по газопроводу в прибрежный город Каррата (англ. Karratha), Западная Австралия, на завод по производству сжиженного природного газа (СПГ) или в газопроводы, для транспортировки в другие районы страны. Права на разработку нефтяных месторождений в этом районе Woodside продала ExxonMobil.

В настоящее время Woodside основной владелец и разработчик шельфового нефтяного месторождения Энфилд (англ. Enfield) около города Эксмоут (англ. Exmouth), Западная Австралия, шельфового нефтяного месторождения Леминариа-Коралина (англ. Laminaria-Corallina) в северной Австралии, шельфовых газовых месторождений Тиласин (англ. Thylacine) и Географ (англ. Geographe) в южной Австралии.

Woodside also operates four oil floating production storage and offloading (FPSO) vessels in the Exmouth Basin, North West Shelf and Timor Sea.

Woodside’s international assets include deepwater production facilities in the Gulf of Mexico plus acreage in the USA, Brazil, Peru, Republic of Korea and the Canary Islands. In 2012 took equity in the Leviathan gas field in offshore Israel and exploration acreage in offshore Myanmar.

Woodside Petroleum входит в десятку крупнейших компаний Австралии. В районе Северо-Западного шельфа производится 40 процентов австралийской нефти и газа. Компания ведет разведку и разработку месторождений в ряде зарубежных регионов, включая Мексиканский залив в США.

Имеет совместные проекты с такими гигантами добывающей индустрии как Chevron Corp., Royal Dutch Shell, BP и BHP Billiton Ltd.

 

История развития и достижений

Компания была основана в 1954 году, как Woodside (Lakes Entrance) Oil Co NL. «Вудсайд» (англ. Woodside) — название австралийского города в штате Виктория, расположенного недалеко от района, в котором компания начинала разведку нефтяных месторождений.

The company's initial 375,000-pound (A$937,000) share issue in September 1954 was over-subscribed by more than 200,000 pounds (A$500,000).

In 1956, led by Chairman Geoff Donaldson and Managing Director Rees Withers, Woodside secured the first offshore exploration license to be granted in Victoria – a 2600sqkm stretch off Ninety Mile Beach that extended 2km into Bass Strait. Woodside was drilling in water up to 60 metres deep, an unremarkable depth today, but a world-record drilling depth in the 1950s.

В течение десяти лет Woodside безуспешно вела поиски нефти на территории штата Виктория и в его прибрежных районах. В 1963 году компания получила права на разведку большой прибрежной территории в северо-западной части Австралии, в настоящее время данный район известен как Северо-Западный шельф (англ. North West Shelf). Результатом бурения поисковых скважин стало открытие крупных нефтяных и газовых месторождений, включая Тороса (англ. Torosa), Норт-Ранкин (англ. North Rankin) и Ангел (англ. Angel) в 1971 году, Гудвин  (англ. Goodwyn) в 1972 году. Эти месторождения содержали около 1,4 триллиона м³ природного газа, что явилось основанием для организации самого дорогого австралийского проекта Северо-Западного шельфа (англ. North West Shelf Venture), стоимостью 19 миллиардов австралийских долларов.

A contract with the State Energy Commission of Western Australia for the supply of domestic gas to industries and homes was signed in September 1980, and deliveries began in August 1984.

В стремлении стать одним из крупнейших мировых производителей сжиженного природного газа, в настоящее время, компания смещает свои акценты с добычи нефти на природный газ. Отражением данной тенденции явилась, впервые за 32 года, смена компанией Woodside, 4 февраля 2009 года, своего корпоративного логотипа.

История достижений в десятилетиях:

1950/60s

Woodside (Lakes Entrance) Oil Co. NL is registered and adopts the name of the town of Woodside in Victoria, Australia which is close to its oil leases.

Woodside drills to world-record water depths in the Bass Strait off southern

Australia. In 1956 Woodside appoints Geoff Donaldson as Chairman and Rees Withers as Managing Director. Woodside is granted a permit to explore 370,000km2 off the Western Australian coast, resulting in the formation of

the original North West Shelf Venture between the Burmah Oil Company of

Australia, Shell Development Australia and Woodside. Woodside finds first oil at the Legendre field on the North West Shelf.

1970s

Woodside makes major gas and condensate discoveries off the north  west coast of Australia - the Sunrise and Troubadour fields in the Timor Sea, the Browse fields north of Broome, and the Goodwyn, North Rankin and Angel fields north of Karratha on the North West Shelf. Woodside (Lakes Entrance) Oil NL changes its name to Woodside Petroleum Ltd. State and Commonwealth governments give environmental approval for the commencement of the North West

Shelf Gas Project.

1980s

Woodside constructs the Karratha onshore gas plant, the North Rankin

platform and a 134km subsea pipeline to shore. Design work starts on the

Goodwyn platform. The North West Shelf Project participants sign the contracts for the long-term supply of gas to Western Australian customers, the formal

liquefied natural gas (LNG) sales agreement with eight Japanese gas and

power companies, and the contracts for the supply of the first fleet of LNG ships.

Woodside discovers the Wanaea and Echo oil fields on the North West Shelf.

The first cargo of LNG from the North West Shelf Project arrives in Tokyo,

Japan.

1990s

The Woodside-operated North West Shelf Project discovers the Cossack,

Hermes, Perseus and Yodel oil fields. Woodside as operator of the North

West Shelf Project constructs the Cossack Pioneer floating production

storage and offloading (FPSO) vessel. The Goodwyn platform starts

production on the North West Shelf. Woodside discovers the Enfield and

Vincent fields near Exmouth in Western Australia and the Laminaria-Corallina

field in the Timor Sea. Woodside constructs the Northern Endeavour

FPSO. The North West Shelf Project delivers its 1000th LNG cargo to Japan.

2000s

Woodside acquires exploration and production interests in the Gulf of

Mexico, including the discovery of the Powerplay oil field, and discovers

the Chinguetti oil field off the coast of Mauritania. Woodside discovers the Laverda oil field near Exmouth, and the Pluto gas field near Karratha in Western Australia. The North West Shelf Project celebrates 25 years of domestic gas production and 20 years of LNG exports. Woodside starts production from the

fifth processing train at the Karratha onshore gas plant. The Nganhurra FPSO (Enfield) and the Ngujima-Yin FPSO (Vincent) start production. Woodside constructs and installs the Angel Platform.

2010 and on ...

The Okha FPSO is commissioned for the North West Shelf Project, replacing the Cossack Pioneer. A second platform is installed next to the existing North Rankin A platform. The North West Shelf Project delivers its 3500^th  LNG cargo.

Woodside completes construction of the Pluto LNG Project, including an

onshore LNG plant and an offshore processing platform. Pluto begins production in 2012, with first LNG cargoes delivered to Japan.

Направления развития

Перспективным направлением в развитии компании является производство сжиженного природного газа (СПГ). Спрос в мире на это более экологически чистое, чем нефтепродукты, топливо неуклонно растёт. По оценкам экспертов в ведущих государствах Восточной Азии спрос на СПГ может вырасти с 90 миллионов тонн (2006 год) до 149 миллионов тонн (2020 год). Параллельно с ростом спроса, мощности по производству СПГ в Австралии неуклонно наращиваются и к 2015 году могут превысить 60 миллионов тонн в год. Для компаний производителей, продажа на экспорт СПГ, выгодна большими сроками, на которые заключаются договора и жёсткими условиями определения цен на газ.

Согласно сообщению норвежского Интернет-портала Апстрим-онлайн (англ. Upstreamonline.com) от 4 марта 2008 года компания Woodside Petroleum подписала с тайваньской компанией CPC Corporation контракт, который стал самой большой единичной сделкой в истории Австралии. Об этом сообщил Саймон Крин (англ. Simon Crean), австралийский министр торговли. Контракт предусматривает поставки от 2 до 3 миллионов тонн СПГ в год на протяжении от 15 до 20 лет. Доход Австралии, таким образом, может составить от 32,6 до 42 миллиардов американских долларов.

Within Australia Woodside operates or is developing a number of liquefied natural gas projects:

North West Shelf Project

Located 1,600 kilometres (990 mi) north of Perth, Western Australia and covering approximately 200 hectares, the Karratha Gas Plant includes five LNG processing trains, two domestic gas trains, six condensate stabilization units, three LPG fractionation units as well as storage and loading facilities for LNG, LPG and condensate. One of the most advanced integrated systems in the world, the Karratha Gas Plant has the capacity to produce 12,000 tonnes a day of domestic gas, 52,000 tonnes a day of LNG, 4200 tonnes a day of LPG and 165,000 barrels per day (26,200 m³/d) of condensate. In 2008 annual LNG production capacity at the Karratha Gas Plant increased to 16.3 million tonnes with the start-up of a fifth, 4.4 million tonne-a-year LNG processing train.
