据普氏能源资讯7月24日新加坡报道，据参与该项目的日本勘探商Inpex和标普全球普氏贸易流软件cFlow称，澳大利亚的Prelude FLNG本周发运了首批液化石油气货物，成为继Ichthys项目于2018年开始稳定发运液化石油气后，澳大利亚的第二个液化石油气供应国。

普氏物流表示，这批货物由8.4万立方米的VLGC secret to号货轮装载，周日抵达Prelude码头，周三满载离开，前往韩国丽水，预计8月1日抵达韩国丽水。

Inpex发言人周三证实，Prelude项目的第一艘液化石油气运输船将装载液化石油气，但拒绝详细说明货物的卖方和买方。

FLNG工厂位于距离西澳大利亚布鲁姆475公里的地方，由壳牌运营，持有67.5%的股份，Inpex持有17.5%的股份，韩国Kogas持有10%，中国台湾中油公司(CPC Corp.)持有5%。

交易员们表示，第一批货物可能是壳牌提走的，因为Inpex每年只提走一件货物，但这没有得到壳牌或Inpex的证实。

在此之前，壳牌于7月初从Prelude起运了第三批凝析油。据贸易消息人士和普氏能源资讯的数据，这第三批凝析油连同第一艘液化石油气货船的装载，表明该项目的产量在今年早些时候开始不稳定之后正在企稳。

普氏能源资讯稍早报导称，Prelude第一艘LNG船于6月中旬运往亚洲客户。

一旦达到稳定运行状态，预计每周将有一艘起降船访问Prelude FLNG设施，卸载液化天然气、液化石油气或凝析油。

项目生产能力为360万吨/年液化天然气、130万吨/年凝析油和40万吨/年液化石油气。

Australia's Prelude LNG project ships first LPG cargo

Australia's Prelude FLNG shipped out its first LPG cargo this week, according to Japanese explorer Inpex, a stakeholder in the project, and cFlow, S&P Global Platts trade flow software, making it the second supply source from the country after steady LPG shipments began in 2018 from the Ichthys project.

The cargo was lifted aboard the 84,000 cu m VLGC Secreto, which arrived at the Prelude terminal on Sunday and departed fully laden on Wednesday, bound for Yeosu, South Korea, where it is due to arrive on August 1, Platts cFlow showed.

An Inpex spokesman on Wednesday confirmed the first LPG shipment on an LPG tanker from the Prelude project, but declined to elaborate on the seller and the buyer of the cargo.

The FLNG facility, located 475 km from Broome in Western Australia, is operated by Shell with a 67.5% stake, while Inpex holds a 17.5% stake, South Korea's Kogas 10% and Taiwan's CPC Corp. 5%.

Traders said the first cargo was likely lifted by Shell, as Inpex only lifts one cargo per year, but this was not confirmed by Shell or Inpex.

Before this, Shell lifted its third condensate cargo from Prelude in early July, which together with the loading of the first LPG cargo signals that production from the project is stabilizing after a shaky start earlier this year, according to trade sources and Platts data.

The first Prelude LNG cargo was shipped in mid-June to customers in Asia, Platts reported earlier.

Once steady-state operations are reached, it is expected an offtake carrier a week will visit the Prelude FLNG facility to offload LNG, LPG or condensate.

The Prelude project has a production capacity of 3.6 million mt/year of LNG, 1.3 million mt/year of condensate and 0.4 million mt/year of LPG.
