原标题：埃尼莫桑比克项目FLNG船体顺利下水

中国石化新闻网讯 据1月16日Gas Processing报道，埃尼集团和其合作伙伴已宣布在韩国巨济市启动Coral South液化处理设施（FLNG）。这艘FLNG是埃尼位于莫桑比克近海Rovuma盆地Area 4区域的Coral South项目的一部分，该项目将在莫桑比克近海开采4500亿立方米的天然气，计划在2022年投产。此次FLNG船体顺利下水，标志着该项目进展顺利，目前，项目竣工率超过60%，符合2022年投产的时间线要求。

FLNG船体长432米，宽66米，重约1.4万吨。它的8层船舱最多可容纳350人，并已准备好被装与船体系统集成。此外，12个气体处理和液化天然气模块的制造工作也正在顺利进行，所有主要设备已经准备好进行集成。

Coral South FLNG具有340万吨/年的天然气液化能力，将是第一个在约2000米的深水中部署的FLNG，也是非洲第一个专门建造的FLNG。莫桑比克近海正在进行6口海底油气井的钻探和完井活动，这些井将为液化装置提供原料。

埃尼集团东非地区执行副总裁阿德里亚诺·蒙吉尼表示，“Coral South FLNG船体的下水，是一个杰出的里程碑，这多亏了埃尼集团、Area 4区域合作伙伴、承包商和莫桑比克政府的支持。我们相信，Coral South是一个开创性的项目，它将助推进一步的开发和投资。”

莫桑比克石油学会主席卡洛斯•扎卡里亚斯评论道：“我们相信，若以目前的速度推进项目，到2022年，我们将从Coral FLNG项目在莫桑比克生产、液化和出口第一批液化天然气货物。因此，将在创造就业机会、发展当地业务和出售该国液化天然气获得收入方面实现了预期的成就，使莫桑比克国家和人民在项目活动期间受益。”

Coral South是莫桑比克的第一个液化天然气项目，旨在提高当地劳动力和供应链的整体能力，以及助力当地中小型企业发展。

Coral Sul FLNG hull launched in South Korea

Eni and the Area 4 partners have announced the launch of the hull of the Coral Sul FLNG treatment and liquefaction facility in Geoje, South Korea. The FLNG is part of the Coral South project that will put in production 450 billion m3 of gas of the Coral reservoir, offshore Mozambique. The launch marks the timely progress of the project, which exceeds 60% completion and is in line with production start-up by 2022.

The hull is 432 m long, 66 m wide and weighs approximately 14 000 t. Its eight-storey accommodation module, which will house up to 350 people, is also ready to be lifted and integrated with the hull system. Fabrication activities are also well underway for the 12 gas treatment and LNG modules, with all main equipment ready for integration and first deck stacking executed.

With a gas liquefaction capacity of 3.4 million tpy, the Coral Sul FLNG will be the first FLNG ever deployed in deep waters, at water depth of approximately 2000 m, and the first purpose-build FLNG in Africa. Drilling and completion activities for the six subsea wells that will feed the liquefaction unit are ongoing offshore Mozambique.

Adriano Mongini, Eni’s EVP, East Africa Region, said that “the Coral Sul FLNG hull launching is an outstanding milestone which has been possible thanks to the commitment of Eni, its Area 4 partners, contractors and Mozambican authorities. We share the belief that Coral South is a pioneering project that will trigger further developments and new investments”.

Carlos Zacarias, Chairman of the Mozambican Institute of Petroleum (INP), representing the Government of Mozambique, commented that “We believe that at this rate we will in fact have, by 2022, the production, liquefaction and export of the first LNG cargo gas from the Coral FLNG Project, and from Mozambique, consequently making the expected transformations in job creation, development of local business and incomes from LNG sale of the first gas liquefaction project in the country, benefiting the Mozambican state and people over the duration of the project”.

Coral South is the first LNG project in Mozambique. It includes initiatives aimed at enhancing the overall capabilities of the local workforce and supply chain, as well as to develop local SMEs.
