中国石化新闻网讯 据路透社10月27日报道，挪威石油管理局(NPD)周二表示，2020年，为应对新冠肺炎疫情防控支出，石油公司减少钻探，预计将在挪威近海钻探30个探井，这是14年来的最低水平。 油气勘探新油井的数量已从2019年的57口下降下降到了最初预计的50口左右。 NPD在一份声明中表示:“石油需求下降和油价下跌导致石油公司减少了今年的勘探预算，并推迟了一些勘探井的钻探。” 去年是挪威首次发现石油50周年纪念日，尽管对全球变暖的担忧日益加剧，但挪威仍为石油公司提供了广阔的新勘探区块，以延长石油行业寿命。 但挪国油和其他石油公司，包括阿克BP.OL和伦丁能源。都在新冠肺炎疫情的早期阶段大幅削减成本，以保存现金并度过危机。 NPD勘探主管托尔吉尔?斯托达尔(Torgeir Stordal)表示:“如果没有新油气发现，2030年后油气产量可能会迅速下降。” NPD称，作为西欧最大的石油生产国，挪威认为其海底尚未探明的石油储量为39亿立方米，或约245亿桶，而两年前这一数字为40亿立方米。 但该监管机构补充称，要找到资源，勘探必须继续以高速度进行。斯托达尔表示:“新的勘探技术和大数据分析有助于在成熟的大陆架上发现更多矿藏。” 王佳晶 摘译自 路透社 原文如下： Norway's oil and gas exploration drops sharply, regulator says Oil firms are expected to drill just 30 exploration wells off the coast of Norway this year, the lowest level in 14 years as companies seek to manage spending amid a pandemic, the Norwegian Petroleum Directorate (NPD) said on Tuesday. The search for new oil and gas reserves has dropped from 57 wells drilled in 2019 and lags original projections of around 50 wells. “The decline in demand for oil and lower prices have led oil companies to reduce their exploration budgets for the year and postpone a number of exploration wells,” the NPD said in a statement. Norway, which last year marked the 50th anniversary of its first oil discovery, has doubled down on a strategy to extend the industry’s lifespan, offering vast new acreage for firms to explore despite rising concern over global warming. But Equinor EQNR.OL and other oil firms, including Aker BP AKERBP.OL and Lundin Energy LUNE.ST, announced sharp cost cuts in the early phase of the coronavirus pandemic as they sought to preserve cash and weather the crisis. “Without new discoveries, oil and gas production could decline rapidly after 2030,” said Torgeir Stordal, director of exploration at the NPD. Western Europe’s largest petroleum producer believes yet-to-be-found resources beneath its seabed amount to 3.9 billion cubic metres (bcm), or 24.5 billion barrels of oil equivalent, down from around 4 bcm two years ago, the NPD said. But to find the resources, exploration must continue at a high pace, the regulator added. |
