據《能源年》11月22日墨西哥城報道，墨西哥國家石油公司(Pemex)周一宣布，該公司與美國天然氣公司新堡壘能源公司(New Fortress Energy)簽署了一份服務合同，將重啟墨西哥灣拉卡奇氣田的生產。

該項目預計于2024年第一季度開始生產，預計10年內平均日產能為3億立方英尺(約850萬立方米)。

該深水非伴生氣田位于距Veracruz港90公里處，儲量約為9000億立方英尺(約255億立方米)。

隨后，墨國油簽署了一項商業(yè)化合同，每天將向堡壘能源公司交付1.96億立方英尺，而墨國油將保留剩余的1.1億立方英尺（約312萬立方米）供墨西哥消費。

該國政府于2022年11月初批準了這個17.9億美元的項目。

此前，墨國油于2022年6月與新堡壘能源簽署了長期戰(zhàn)略合作伙伴關系，共同開發(fā)該區(qū)塊。

鄰近的礦床儲量預計是拉卡奇氣田儲量的三倍，目前正在考慮開發(fā)。

Pemex reboots Lakach gasfield development

Pemex has signed a service contract with US gas player New Fortress Energy to restart production at the Lakach field in the Gulf of Mexico, the Mexican NOC announced on Monday.

Production is expected to begin in Q1 2024, with an average capacity of 300 mcf (8.5 mcm) per day expected over a 10-year period.

The deepwater non-associated gasfield is located 90 kilometres from Port of Veracruz and holds reserves of around 900 bcf (25.5 bcm).

Subsequently, the NOC signed a commercialization contract that will see 190 mcf (5.38 mcm) per day delivered to New Fortress Energy while Pemex will retain the remaining 110 mcf (3.12 mcm) per day for Mexican consumption.

The government approved the USD 1.79-billion project at the beginning of November 2022.

Previously, Pemex signed a long-term strategic partnership with New Fortress Energy to develop the play in June 2022.

Adjacent deposits are expected to contain three times the reserves found at the Lakach field, which are being considered for development.
