據世界天然氣網站9月28日消息 雪佛龍澳大利亞分公司與鋁合金生產商美國鋁業（Alcoa）簽署了另一項協議，從其液化天然氣項目中輸送國內天然氣。

雪佛龍表示，從2024年1月開始，將在多年期內向美國鋁業額外供應37拍焦的國內天然氣。

這項供應協議是在雪佛龍和美國鋁業于2018年12月簽署的一項現有協議之后所達成，該協議將供應64拍焦的國內天然氣。

這家能源巨頭將從惠斯通和戈爾貢液化天然氣開發項目以及伍德賽德運營的西北大陸架設施中輸送燃料。

此外，美國鋁業將使用這些燃料為西澳大利亞的三家鋁精煉廠提供動力。

在滿負荷運行的情況下，戈爾貢和惠斯通天然氣設施將能夠為西澳大利亞市場生產每天500太焦的國內天然氣。

雪佛龍稱，這一產能可為約430萬戶家庭發電。

Chevron in Australian domestic gas deal

Chevron’s Australian unit has signed another deal with aluminium producer Alcoa for the delivery of domestic natural gas from its LNG projects.

Starting in January 2024, Chevron said it would supply Alcoa with an additional 37 petajoules of equity domestic gas over a “multi-year term.”

The supply deal follows an existing agreement signed by Chevron and Alcoa in December 2018 for the supply of 64 petajoules of equity domestic gas.

The energy giant will deliver the fuel from its Wheatstone and Gorgon LNG developments as well as the Woodside-operated North West Shelf facilities.

Furthermore, Alcoa will use the fuel to power three aluminium refineries in Western Australia.

At full capacity, the Gorgon and Wheatstone natural gas facilities will be able to produce 500 terajoules per day of domestic gas for the Western Australian market.

This capacity could generate electricity for about 4.3 million households, according to Chevron.
