挪威获得38家石油公司的许可证申请

    中国石化新闻网讯 据路透社9月7日奥斯陆报道，挪威能源部周五表示，共有38家石油公司在所谓的预定区域（APA）许可回合中提交了挪威海上勘探区域的投标。

    投标人包括石油巨头壳牌，康菲石油和道达尔，以及挪威的Equinor和Aker BP，瑞典的Lundin和意大利的Eni。

    挪威石油和能源部长Kjell-Boerge Freiberg说：“对挪威大陆架勘探表现出如此浓厚兴趣的石油公司对挪威最大和最重要的产业的未来价值创造，就业和政府收入非常重要。”

    该部表示，约有170,000人直接或间接参与北欧国家的530万石油工业。

    然而，环保主义者和一些反对派政客呼吁挪威政府停止探索新的石油和天然气资源，以减少全球碳排放。

    该部门计划在2019年初颁发许可证。

    Norway Gets Bids From 38 Oil Firms In Licensing Round

    A total of 38 oil companies have submitted bids for exploration acreage offshore Norway in a

    so-called predefined areas (APA) licensing round, the country's energy ministry said on

    Friday.

    Bidders include oil majors Shell, ConocoPhillips and Total, as well as Norway's Equinor and

    Aker BP, Sweden's Lundin and Italy's Eni.

    "The oil companies showing such interest in exploration on the Norwegian continental shelf

    is important for future value creation, jobs and government revenues from Norway's largest

    and most important industry," Norway's Oil and Energy Minister Kjell-Boerge Freiberg said.

    About 170,000 people are directly or indirectly involved in the petroleum industry in the

    Nordic country of 5.3 million, the ministry said.

    Environmentalists and some opposition politicians, however, have called on the Norwegian

    government to stop exploring for new oil and gas resources to reduce global carbon

    emissions.

    The ministry plans to award licences in early 2019, it added.
