据钻机地带网2019年7月17日伦敦报道，自2008年以来，新进入英国大陆架的油气勘探和生产（E&P）公司现在已控制46%的油气产量。

这是韦斯特伍德全球能源集团经过研究分析得出的结论。韦斯特伍德全球能源集团在其网站上最近发布的一份声明中透露，新进入者购买生产性资产的兴趣迄今尚未与其投资新产量的兴趣相匹配。

韦斯特伍德全球能源集团强调，自2008年以来，新进入者仅投产了5.77亿桶石油储量，占同期总储量的16%，仅为勘探钻井提供了16%的资金。

但韦斯特伍德全球能源集团指出，这种情况将发生改变，因为新进入者“掌握着维持英国大陆架产量的关键，控制着英国大陆架17亿桶油当量未批准的潜在商业资源的60%以上。”

韦斯特伍德全球能源集团指出，新进入者也在加紧勘探工作，将在未来两年内为16口净勘探井提供资金，占计划总数的70%。

据韦斯特伍德全球能源集团所说，自2008年以来，新进入者已在英国大陆架已宣布考虑的资产和公司交易上花费了290亿美元。

根据韦斯特伍德全球能源集团的网站，该公司为全球能源市场提供独立的信息、研究和咨询服务。该公司总部位于阿伯丁，由能源专业私募股权公司Energy Ventures在2015年1月成立。

New Entrants Hold 46 Percent of UKCS Production

New entrant exploration and production companies to the UK Continental Shelf (UKCS) since 2008 now control 46 percent of production.

That’s according to Westwood Global Energy Group, which revealed in a recent statement posted on its website that the appetite of new entrants for buying producing assets has not yet been matched by their appetite for investment in new production.

Westwood highlighted that new entrants have so far moved only 577 million barrels of reserves into production since 2008, 16 percent of the total in that time, and funded only 16 percent of exploration drilling.

The company noted that this is set to change though, as new entrants “hold the key to sustaining UKCS production, controlling over 60 percent of the 1.7 billion barrels of oil equivalent of unsanctioned and potentially commercial resources in the UKCS”.

New entrants are also stepping up exploration efforts and will be funding over 16 net exploration wells -70 percent of the total planned - in the next two years, Westwood pointed out.

According to Westwood, new entrants since 2008 have spent $29 billion in UKCS asset and corporate deals where a consideration has been announced.

Westwood delivers independent information, research and consulting services for global energy markets, according to its website. The company, which is headquartered in Aberdeen, was formed in January 2015 by Energy Ventures, an energy specialist private equity firm.
