据石油新闻伦敦报道，荷兰皇家壳牌公司2月11日表示，为了加速其在2050年前实现净零排放的战略，壳牌公司将优先投资转型项目，预计其石油产量在2050年前每年将减少1%-2%。

这家欧洲最大的油气公司在一份战略更新报告中表示，其石油产量可能已在2019年见顶，其二氧化碳排放量可能已在2018年见顶。壳牌公司表示，石油产量的进一步下降将来自资产出售和自然递减。

壳牌公司在概述其近期投资计划时表示，其传统上游部门的支出预计将落后于“转型支柱””领域的支出，这些领域包括以液化天然气为重点的综合天然气部门以及化学品和石油产品。

在短期内，壳牌公司预计每年上游资本支出为80亿美元，转型支柱业务的资本支出为80亿至90亿美元，营销、可再生能源和能源解决方案的“增长”业务的资本支出为50亿至60亿美元。

壳牌公司还制定了到2050年前实现净零排放的中期目标。以2016年为基准，到2023年前将减排6%-8%，到2030年前将减排20%，到2035年前将减排45%，到2050年前减排将达到100%。

壳牌公司首席执行官范伯登在一份声明中表示，“我们的加速战略将降低碳排放，并为我们的股东、客户和更广泛的社会带来价值。”

Shell expects 1%-2% annual cut in oil output as energy transition prioritized

Shell expects its oil production to decrease by 1%-2% annually as it prioritizes spending on transition projects in an acceleration of its strategy to achieve net zero emissions by 2050, it said Feb. 11.

In a strategy update, Europe's largest oil and gas company said it was likely that its oil production had already peaked in 2019 and its CO2 emissions in 2018. The further decline in oil production would result from asset sales and natural decline, it said.

Sketching out its near-term investment plans, it said it expects spending in the traditional upstream segment to fall behind spending in "transition pillar" areas, comprised of the LNG-focused Integrated Gas division, as well as chemicals and oil products.

In the near term, it expects annual upstream capital expenditures of $8 billion, with capex in the transition pillar businesses of $8 billion-$9 billion, and $5 billion-$6 billion of capex in the "growth" business of marketing, renewables and energy solutions.

It also set out interim targets toward the goal of net zero emissions by 2050. Using 2016 as a baseline, it said it would cut its emissions by 6%-8% by 2023, 20% by 2030 and 45% by 2035, before reaching 100% in 2050.

"Our accelerated strategy will drive down carbon emissions and will deliver value for our shareholders, our customers and wider society," CEO Ben van Beurden said in a statement.
