據(jù)油價(jià)網(wǎng)7月4日?qǐng)?bào)道，挪威石油和能源部周一表示，挪威當(dāng)局已批準(zhǔn)運(yùn)營(yíng)商提出的提高多個(gè)氣田產(chǎn)量的申請(qǐng)，預(yù)計(jì)今年通過(guò)管道向歐洲銷(xiāo)售的天然氣將創(chuàng)紀(jì)錄。

該部聽(tīng)取了現(xiàn)有運(yùn)營(yíng)商的申請(qǐng)，并允許Troll、Gina Krog、Duva、Oseberg、?sgard和Mikkel油田提高天然氣產(chǎn)量。能源部還授予了Nova氣田的生產(chǎn)許可證，預(yù)計(jì)將在不久的將來(lái)啟動(dòng)。

該部表示，獲得更高天然氣產(chǎn)量的許可意味著挪威今年有望通過(guò)其管道系統(tǒng)出口創(chuàng)紀(jì)錄的天然氣量。

挪威決定允許更高的天然氣產(chǎn)量和創(chuàng)紀(jì)錄的天然氣出口之際，其合作伙伴歐盟和英國(guó)正趕在冬季到來(lái)之前爭(zhēng)奪天然氣供應(yīng)。如果大國(guó)停止向歐洲輸送管道天然氣，一些行業(yè)甚至家庭可能面臨配給。

據(jù)挪威能源部稱(chēng)，挪威的氣田供應(yīng)了歐盟和英國(guó)20%-25%的天然氣需求。

挪威石油和能源部長(zhǎng)Terje Aasland在今天的一份聲明中表示，在當(dāng)前歐洲和世界面臨的嚴(yán)峻能源形勢(shì)下，挪威能做的最重要的事情就是幫助挪威大陸架上的公司保持目前的高產(chǎn)量。

公司不斷評(píng)估從挪威油田輸送更多天然氣和石油的機(jī)會(huì)。“更高的生產(chǎn)許可將有助于我們預(yù)計(jì)今年通過(guò)天然氣管道系統(tǒng)實(shí)現(xiàn)創(chuàng)紀(jì)錄的天然氣銷(xiāo)售。”Aasland補(bǔ)充說(shuō)。

在大國(guó)于6月中旬削減向包括德國(guó)和意大利在內(nèi)的歐洲主要客戶的天然氣供應(yīng)之后，歐洲的天然氣價(jià)格在最近幾周恢復(fù)了上漲。德國(guó)已經(jīng)啟動(dòng)了關(guān)于天然氣供應(yīng)的三階段緊急協(xié)議的第二階段，因?yàn)闅W洲最大的經(jīng)濟(jì)體和整個(gè)歐洲都在競(jìng)相在冬季之前填補(bǔ)天然氣儲(chǔ)存容量。

Norway Ramps Up Natural Gas Production To Combat Energy Crisis

Norway’s authorities have approved applications from operators to boost production from several gas fields, the Norwegian Ministry of Petroleum and Energy said on Monday, expecting record gas sales via pipelines to Europe this year.

The ministry heeded applications from operators on the shelf and allowed higher gas production from the Troll, Gina Krog, Duva, Oseberg, ?sgard, and Mikkel fields. The Energy Ministry has also granted a production permit for the Nova gas field, which is expected to start up in the near future.

The permits for higher gas production mean that Norway is on track to export record volumes of gas through its pipeline system this year, the ministry said.

Norway’s decision to allow higher gas production and record gas exports comes as its partners, the EU and the UK, scramble for gas supply ahead of the winter, which could be one of rationing for some industries and even households if the big country pipeline gas supply to Europe stops.

Norway’s gas fields supply 20-25 percent of the gas demand in the EU and the UK, according to the Norwegian ministry.

The most important thing Norway can do in today’s challenging energy situation for Europe and the world is to facilitate companies operating on the Norwegian Continental Shelf to keep the current high production, Petroleum and Energy Minister Terje Aasland said in a statement today.

Companies are constantly assessing opportunities for delivering more gas and oil from their Norwegian fields. “The higher production permits will contribute to the record-high gas sales we expect through our gas pipeline system this year,” Aasland added.

Gas prices in Europe have returned to rally in recent weeks after the big country slashed gas deliveries in the middle of June to major customers in Europe, including Germany and Italy. Germany has already activated stage two of a three-phase emergency protocol concerning gas supply, as Europe’s biggest economy and the whole of Europe are racing to fill gas storage capacities ahead of the winter.
