据路透社5月21日报道，伍德赛德石油公司（Woodside Petroleum）总裁Peter Coleman表示，该公司已经做出了一项到2016年下半年的最终投资决定，其已被长期拖延的Browse澳大利亚离岸天然气项目因此有望最早在2021年可以启用。

伍德赛德公司在今年以36亿美元的价格从Apache公司（Apache Corp）购买了一些石油资产。其中，Browse项目是该公司四个关键增长项目之一，另外还有加拿大陆上Kitimat LNG项目和澳大利亚离岸Wheatstone LNG项目。

伍德赛德及其合伙人在去年12月将关于Browse浮式液化天然气项目的决定推迟至2016年中期。而在周四，该公司又称将在明年下半年作出决定。

Browse项目之前被设计为陆上项目，其中一部分成本被预计为450亿美元，而现在被削减了15%至30%。

Woodside sees Browse LNG opening in 2021 at earliest

May 21 Woodside Petroleum expects the long-delayed Browse gas project off Australia to be commissioned in late 2021 at the earliest, after pushing out a final investment decision to the second half of 2016, its chief executive said.

Browse is one of four key growth projects for Woodside alongside the Kitimat LNG project in Canada and Wheatstone LNG off Australia, which it bought with some oil assets from Apache Corp this year for $3.6 billion.

Woodside and its partners last December postponed a decision on the Browse floating liquefied natural gas (FLNG) to mid-2016. On Thursday it said a sign-off is now expected in the second half of next year.

Some costs on Browse, previously estimated at $45 billion when it was designed as a land-based project, have been cut by between 15 and 30 percent, the company said.
