据RZNews网站2019年1月4日休斯顿报道，如果布伦特原油价格反弹至每桶60美元以及进一步削减成本的努力取得成功，那么今年全球将有价值1230亿美元的海上项目获得批准。

这是独立能源研究和商业情报公司挪威雷斯塔能源公司（Rystad Energy）公布的数据。雷斯塔能源公司上周五曾告诉媒体记者，该公司目前对布伦特原油今年的价格预测为每桶65美元。

雷斯塔能源公司最近在其网站上发布的一份声明中称：“随着布伦特原油价格反弹至每桶60美元，2019年全球海上项目批准数可能达到2013年以来的最高水平。”

雷斯塔能源公司补充说：“今年，中东地区将有最多的浅水项目需要做出承诺决定。进入更深的水域，南美洲必将登上全球舞台。南美洲大陆寻求在2019年审查最大的深水远景区。

根据雷斯塔能源公司的统计数据，在2019年将承诺的潜在1230亿美元项目中有15%的项目盈亏平衡价格超过了每桶60美元。雷斯塔能源公司透露，其中绝大多数项目将用于新的固定和浮式设施。

雷斯塔能源公司在声明中透露，有100多个新的海上项目有望在2019年获得批准，而明年全球预计将有2100亿美元用于海上油田服务。

雷斯塔能源公司在声明中强调说，全球油气运营商在2018年批准了90多个海上项目，2017年批准了62个海上项目，2016年批准了43个海上项目。

$123B of Offshore Projects May be Sanctioned in 2019

$123 billion of offshore projects could be sanctioned in 2019 if Brent rebounds to $60 per barrel and further cost reduction efforts are successful on current non-economic projects up for sanctioning.

That’s according to Rystad Energy, an independent energy research and business intelligence company, which told media on Friday that its current Brent forecast for this year is $65 per barrel.

“With a rebound to $60 per barrel Brent, 2019’s offshore project sanctioning has the potential to reach its highest level of activity since 2013,” Rystad said in a statement posted recently on its website.

“The Middle East will have the most shallow water projects up for commitment decisions during the year. Moving into deeper waters, South America will surely take the global stage. The continent looks to review the largest deepwater plays during 2019,” Rystad added.

Fifteen percent of the potential $123 billion to be committed in 2019 have breakeven prices over $60 per barrel, according to Rystad, which revealed that of those, the vast majority are for new fixed and floating facilities.

“For 2019 to reach its full offshore sanctioning potential, further cost reduction efforts on these projects are needed,” Rystad stated.

In the statement, Rystad revealed that more than 100 new offshore projects are aiming for 2019 sanctions and that an expected $210 billion will be spent on offshore oilfield services globally next year.

Oil and gas operators gave the green light to 90-plus offshore projects in 2018, 62 in 2017 and 43 in 2016, Rystad highlighted in the statement.
