全球勘探业务正“蓄势待发”

中国石化新闻网讯 Rystad 能源表示，随着运营商纷纷转向授权许可，全球勘探业务有望出现增长。

独立能源研究和商业智能公司星期五在其网站上发表声明说，过去一年里，许可证发放活动“显著增加”。

Rystad强调，2019年宣布了“大量”的租赁轮数，并指出去年颁发的许可轮数连续第三年上升。

Rystad在声明中说:“地中海地区是授权热点，其次是南美和非洲。”

根据Rystad的最新数据，2019年颁发的许可证数量超过了50个，该公司的数据显示，这是自2015年以来从未实现的壮举。Rystad的数据显示，从2013年到2016年，这一数字有所下降。

本月早些时候，Rystad估计，去年全球常规探明储量达到122亿桶油当量(boe)，创四年新高。Rystad的数据显示，这一数字在2018年为100亿英镑，2017年为115亿英镑，2016年为89亿英镑，2015年为195亿英镑，2014年为168亿英镑，2013年为166亿英镑。

Rystad当时在一份公司声明中称，"去年有26个发现的油当量超过1亿桶，其中近海地区占据了新油气田的主要位置。"

Global Exploration Poised for Upswing

Global exploration is poised for an upswing as operators flock to licensing rounds, according to Rystad Energy.

In a statement posted on its website on Friday, the independent energy research and business intelligence company said the past year showed a “significant increase” in licensing activity.

Rystad highlighted that a “large number” of lease rounds were announced in 2019 and noted that the number of awarded licensing rounds rose for the third year in a row last year.

“The Mediterranean region was the hotspot, followed by South America and Africa in terms of licensing activity,” Rystad said in the statement.

According to Rystad’s latest figures, the number of awarded licensing rounds surpassed 50 in 2019, a feat the company’s data shows hasn’t been achieved since 2015. Rystad’s figures show that this number declined from 2013 to 2016.

Earlier this month, Rystad estimated that global conventional discoveries hit a four-year high last year at 12.2 billion barrels of oil equivalent (boe). According to Rystad, this figure stood at 10 billion boe in 2018, 11.5 billion boe in 2017, 8.9 billion boe in 2016, 19.5 billion boe in 2015, 16.8 billion boe in 2014 and 16.6 billion boe in 2013.

“Last year recorded 26 discoveries of more than 100 million boe, with offshore regions dominating the list of new oil and gas deposits,” Rystad said in a company statement at the time.

Rystad provides data, tools, analytics and consultancy services to the global energy industry, according to its website. The company is headquartered in Oslo, Norway.
