據油價網6月23日消息稱,挪威石油和能源部周三表示,挪威在北極邊境地區頒發了四個新的勘探許可證,以支持其油氣行業,并創造價值和就業機會。
作為第25輪許可證發放的一部分,挪威石油和能源部已經向7家公司提供了4個生產許可證的股份或經營權,其中一個在挪威海,三個在巴倫支海。所謂的編號許可輪通常包括挪威大陸架(NCS)的邊界部分。
挪威石油部表示,這些地區將是最有可能擁有大型新發現油田的前沿地區。
挪威能源部長Tina Bru去年在部長提出擴大石油和天然氣勘探區域時表示,挪威需要新的發現,以維持其最重要的行業之一及其供應鏈的就業,尤其是在過去幾個月充滿挑戰之后。
在2020年11月宣布的第25輪許可中,公司可以申請9個不同地區的許可證,其中8個在巴倫支海,一個在挪威海。
該部今天表示,經過評估,挪威將股權和/或運營權授予殼牌、Equinor、日本出光石油公司、英力士勘探生產挪威公司、倫丁石油公司、OMV(挪威)等。
本月早些時候,挪威政府表示,它將賭注押在海上風能、氫氣和電氣化上,以實現其在巴黎協定下的承諾,但其石油和天然氣部門將繼續在長期創造就業、經濟增長前景和國家價值方面發揮重要作用。
挪威是西歐最大的石油生產國,正準備迎接能源轉型,但政府的白皮書“讓能源投入工作”顯示,它相信可以在其氣候政策范圍內開發石油資源以實現低排放生產。
Bru部長表示:“政府石油政策的主要目標是促進油氣行業的長期盈利生產。”

Norway Expands Arctic Oil Exploration
Norway has awarded four new exploration licenses in frontier Arctic areas as it looks to support its oil and gas industry, as well as value and job creation, the Ministry of Petroleum and Energy said on Wednesday.
The ministry has offered seven companies stakes or operatorship in four production licenses, one in the Norwegian Sea and three in the Barents Sea, as part of its 25th licensing round. The so-called numbered licensing round typically includes frontier parts of the Norwegian Continental Shelf (NCS).
According to Norway’s oil ministry, it will be the frontier regions that are most likely to host large new discoveries.
Norway needs new discoveries to maintain employment in one of its most important industries and its supply chain, especially after the last few challenging months, Energy Minister Tina Bru said last year when the ministry proposed the expansion of areas for oil and gas exploration.
In the 25th licensing round, announced in November 2020, companies could apply for licenses in nine different areas—eight in the Barents Sea and one in the Norwegian Sea.
After evaluating the bids, Norway awarded stakes and/or operatorship to Shell, Equinor, Idemitsu Petroleum Norway, INEOS E&P Norway, Lundin, OMV (Norway), the ministry said today. Of the four licenses, Equinor will operate two, while it —majority held by Italy’s Eni—and INEOS will each operate one license.
Earlier this month, Norway’s government said that it is betting on offshore wind, hydrogen, and electrification to meet its commitment under the Paris Agreement, but its oil and gas sector will continue to play a major role in long-term job creation, economic growth prospects, and value for the country.
Norway, Western Europe’s largest oil producer, is preparing to face the energy transition, yet it believes that it can develop its petroleum resources to deliver low-emission production within its climate policy, the government’s White Paper ‘Putting Energy to Work’ showed.
“The main goal of the government’s petroleum policy - to facilitate profitable production in the oil and gas industry in a long term perspective - is firmly in place,” minister Bru said.
