据《能源年》11月22日墨西哥城报道，墨西哥国家石油公司(Pemex)周一宣布，该公司与美国天然气公司新堡垒能源公司(New Fortress Energy)签署了一份服务合同，将重启墨西哥湾拉卡奇气田的生产。

该项目预计于2024年第一季度开始生产，预计10年内平均日产能为3亿立方英尺(约850万立方米)。

该深水非伴生气田位于距Veracruz港90公里处，储量约为9000亿立方英尺(约255亿立方米)。

随后，墨国油签署了一项商业化合同，每天将向堡垒能源公司交付1.96亿立方英尺，而墨国油将保留剩余的1.1亿立方英尺（约312万立方米）供墨西哥消费。

该国政府于2022年11月初批准了这个17.9亿美元的项目。

此前，墨国油于2022年6月与新堡垒能源签署了长期战略合作伙伴关系，共同开发该区块。

邻近的矿床储量预计是拉卡奇气田储量的三倍，目前正在考虑开发。

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.
