英国大陆架油气生产效率连续第6年提高达到75%

中国石化新闻网讯 据钻机地带2019年6月20日伦敦报道，去年，英国大陆架（UKCS）的石油和天然气生产效率连续第6年提高，达到了75%。

这个结论是根据英国监管机构英国石油和天然气管理局(OGA)的最新分析得出的。该分析显示，从2017年开始，英国大陆架油气生产效率平均每年提高了一个百分点，这相当于额外增加了1100万桶油当量或相当于每天额外增加了3万桶油当量的油气产量。

OGA的最新报告指出，英国大陆架的5个地区中有4个地区的油气生产效率有所提高。

OGA负责绩效、规划和报告的主管洛雷恩•佩斯在一份组织声明中表示：“看到英国大陆的油气生产效率同比继续提高，这是一个令人鼓舞的好消息。”

佩斯补充说：“英国大陆架油气生产效率不断改善表明，英国油气行业正在保持最佳实践，持续提高效率，并推动新技术的发展。”

佩斯说：“OGA仍将致力于与所有运营商合作，进一步提高英国大陆架的油气生产效率，尽早达到80%的目标。”

OGA在一份组织声明中表示，油气生产效率是行业的一个重要指标，而OGA是生产优化和资产管理绩效的核心要素。

根据OGA网站，OGA的作用是监管、影响和促进英国石油和天然气行业，最大限度地恢复英国石油和天然气资源的经济。

UKCS Production Efficiency Rises Again

Production efficiency on the UK Continental Shelf (UKCS) improved for the sixth consecutive year in 2018, reaching 75 percent.

That’s according to the latest analysis by the UK Oil and Gas Authority (OGA), which revealed that the one percent rise in production efficiency from 2017 represented an additional 11 million barrels of oil equivalent overall, or an extra 30,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day.

The OGA’s latest report outlined that four out of five regions saw increased production efficiency.

“It is positive news to see production efficiency has continued to improve year-on-year in the UKCS,” Loraine Pace, the OGA’s head of performance, planning and reporting, said in an organization statement.

“The steady improvement demonstrates industry is keeping up best practice, sustaining efficiency efforts and driving new technologies,” Pace added.

“The OGA remains committed to working with all operators in their efforts to further increase production efficiency to the target of 80 percent,” Pace continued.

Production efficiency is an important indicator for the industry and the OGA as a core element of production optimization and asset stewardship performance, the OGA said in an organization statement.

The OGA’s role is to regulate, influence and promote the UK oil and gas industry in order to maximize the economic recovery of the UK’s oil and gas resources, according to the organization’s website.
