壳牌计划将关闭在挪威海上运营的最后一个油田

中国石化新闻网讯 据普氏能源资讯2019年6月12日伦敦报道，荷兰皇家壳牌公司表示，由于该公司在挪威的影响力逐渐减弱，壳牌公司已开始计划关闭其在挪威海上运营的最后一个油田克纳尔（Knarr）油田。

壳牌公司在一份电子邮件评论中指出，该公司注意到有一项要求，即必须在预计关闭前两年向挪威监管机构提交一份退役计划，但该公司补充称，此事迄今尚未做出最终决定。

壳牌公司在2015年投产了位于挪威北海北部的克纳尔油田。2016年8月，液体日产量达到了7.2万桶，但此后大幅下降，去年平均日产量为2万桶，今年第一季度为1.6万桶。原油被直接卸到穿梭油轮上。到目前为止，在附近地区寻找新资源的努力已经失败。

壳牌公司说：“我们已经开始研究未来克纳尔油田退役的影响。我们没有确定的油田退役日期，因为这取决于生产表现、油价、成本的发展以及克纳尔油田是否还有可以开发的增量经济资源。”

Shell plans for Knarr field closure as Norway business winds down

、

Shell has started planning the closure of the last oil field it operates offshore Norway, Knarr, as it dials back its presence in the country.

In an emailed comment, Shell noted a requirement to present a decommissioning plan to Norway's regulator two years before an anticipated shutdown, but added it had yet to make final decision.

Shell started production at Knarr, in the northern part of the North Sea, in 2015. Liquids output reached 72,000 b/d in August 2016, but has since fallen steeply, to average 20,000 b/d last year, and 16,000 b/d in the first quarter of this year. The crude is offloaded directly onto shuttle tankers. Efforts to find new resources in the vicinity have so far failed, although this is not ruled out.

"We have started mapping the impacts of a future decommissioning of [Knarr]. We do not have a firm end of field date, as this is pending production performance, oil price, cost developments, and whether there still are incremental economic resources that can be developed on Knarr," Shell said.
