中国石化新闻网讯 据9月23日Energy Voice报道，尽管英国石油公司承诺在十年内将全球石油产量削减40%，但该公司表示不会完全排除在北海进行进一步勘探的可能性。 BP总裁彼得?马瑟(Peter Mather)周二表示，BP将继续抓住英国石油市场机遇。这家能源巨头上个月表示，到2030年将减产40%，即每天减产约100万桶，以努力成为一家净零排放的公司。 作为计划的一部分，BP将继续围绕其现有核心开展业务，不会在尚未涉足的国家进行勘探。 本月早些时候，该公司在石油和天然气管理局(OGA)的第32轮许可证发放中获得了3个新许可证，一个在北海中部，两个在设得兰群岛西部。 马瑟在被问及BP的行业计划时表示：“很明显，我们不会在世界上新的地方探险，但在我们有经验和熟悉的地方，比如北海，我们会继续展开探索。我们相信我们可以在北海增加价值，做正确的事情，所以我们不会排除进一步勘探的可能性。坦率地说，我们不会追逐世界上任何困难的新领域，因为费用、风险与回报不相称。但是我们知道哪里有技术人才，哪里有我们了解和信任的监管环境，就像在北海，我们将继续抓住机会。” 马瑟补充道：“北海对BP未来的石油生产有一定的作用”因为BP非常看好该地区的净零排放计划。” 今年6月，英国石油天然气贸易机构（OGUK）公布了该行业到2030年将排放量减半的计划。马瑟指出:“在我们的行业中，每个领域都有自己的发展轨迹，它会走下坡路。因此，在很多地方，我们可能不会补充库存，不会更新库存，也不会引入任何新的勘探项目。但是，石油和天然气产量减少40%意味着我们将在2030年每天生产150万桶，我们希望这些是最清洁、最高效、排放最低的产能。这也就是我认为北海发挥作用的地方。坦率地说，我们非常看好北海地区。” 王佳晶 摘译自 Energy Voice 原文如下： BP ‘won’t rule out’ further North Sea oil exploration despite 40% production cut pledge BP has said it “will not rule out further exploration at all” in the North Sea, despite a pledge to cut global oil production by 40% within the decade. UK country boss Peter Mather told a Scottish Parliament committee on Tuesday that BP “will continue to take opportunities” in the UK sector. It comes after the energy giant said last month that it would cut production by 40% – or around 1million barrels per day – by 2030 as it works towards becoming a net zero company. As part of that, BP has said it would continue operations around its “existing hubs”, but would not explore in countries where it didn’t already have a presence. Earlier this month the firm was awarded three new licences in the Oil and Gas Authority’s (OGA) 32nd licensing round – one in the Central North Sea and two West of Shetland. Mr Mather was providing evidence to Holyrood’s Climate Change committee when he was asked about the firm’s plans for the sector. He said: “Very clearly, we will not be exploring in new parts of the world but where we have experience and familiarity, like the North Sea, we will want to continue to be there. “We believe in the province, we believe that we can add value and do things in the right way in the North Sea, so we will not rule out further exploration at all in that province. “We won’t chase any difficult, new areas of the world where, frankly, the expense, the risk, is not commensurate with the reward. “But where we know there are skilled people, there’s a regulatory environment that we know and trust, like in the North Sea, yes we will continue to take opportunities.” That was followed by a further query from Banffshire and Buchan MSP Stewart Stevenson, who asked: “Where does the 40% reduction come from if you’re looking to exploit your existing assets in the North Sea, as you’ve just said?” Mr Mather responded by saying the North Sea “has a role to play” for the firm’s future oil production, as BP is “very bullish” about the region’s net zero plans. In June, trade body Oil and Gas UK (OGUK) unveiled plans for the sector to slash its emissions in half by 2030. Mr Mather said: “It’s a very fair question. In our industry, typically, every field has a life, it falls off. “So, in a lot of places, we probably won’t be replenishing, we won’t be renewing our stock, and we won’t be bringing in any new exploration. “But, you know, 40% reduction in our oil and gas production still means we will be producing 1.5million barrels per day in 2030, but we want those to be the cleanest, most efficient, lowest-emitting barrels that we have in our portfolio. “That’s where I think the North Sea has a role to play. “We’re very bullish, frankly, about what the North Sea can do around its own carbon footprint in the province.” |
