根据该协议，英国石油公司将收购壳牌在Browse气田27%的股份，将其总股份增至44%。

Browse承租区的开发被视为可能替代供应西北大陆架液化天然气设施的老化气田，估计将耗资2050万美元。

Browse开发项目位于西澳大利亚金伯利地区沿海，包括Calliance、Brecknock和Torosa海上油田，预计天然气储量为5660亿立方米(20万亿立方英尺)。

考虑到这些气田含有高达12%的二氧化碳，该项目的开发预计将包括碳捕获、储存和再注入计划。

Browse合资企业由拥有30.3%股份的伍德赛德能源公司（Woodside Energy）运营。

该交易的成本未透露，尽管2022年估计壳牌在该项目中所持股份的价值约为3.5亿美元。

该交易还有待监管部门的批准。

bp、壳牌公司和伍德赛德能源公司都是西北大陆架液化天然气工厂的股东。

BP plans to up stake in Australia’s Browse gasfield

BP has agreed to acquire Shell’s stake in Australia’s largest untapped gasfield, Reuters reported on Saturday.

Under the agreement, BP will take on Shell’s 27% shares in the offshore Browse field, upping its total stake to 44%.

Development of the Browse concession is seen as a possible replacement for ageing fields supplying the North West Shelf LNG facility and is estimated to cost USD 20.5 million.

The Browse development located off the coast of the Kimberly region in Western Australia encompasses the Calliance, Brecknock and Torosa offshore fields, which are estimated to contain 566 bcm (20 tcf) of gas.

Given the fields contain up to 12% carbon dioxide, development of the project is expected to include a carbon capture, storage and reinjection scheme.

The Browse joint venture is operated by Woodside Energy with a 30.3% stake.

Cost of the transaction was not revealed, though 2022 estimates put the value of Shell’s shares in the project at around USD 350 million.

The deal is subject to regulatory approvals.

BP, Shell and Woodside Energy are all shareholders of the North West Shelf LNG plant.
