LNG和深水石油项目明年或因油服瓶颈延误

据能源世界网12月22日新德里报道，据独立能源研究公司雷斯塔能源公司称，随着石油和天然气运营商提出的新项目数量急剧增加，油田服务业可能面临2020年的产能限制。

雷斯塔在其有关全球服务市场的最新市场报告中表示，到2020年，约有250个新的油气项目可能会被批准开发，而2016年为160个，供应商之间的瓶颈似乎不可避免。

雷斯塔能源的油田服务主管Audun Martinsen表示，深水项目目前面临挑战，由于该项目严重依赖SURF和FPSO承包商。近几年来，深水油田一直是仅次于页岩资源的最受追捧的供应来源之一，而向深水行业的参与者授予的合同大量增加，可能会限制油田的进一步审批活动。

另一个复杂因素是某些海上能源公司大力推动海上风电项目。根据雷斯塔能源公司的数据显示，250亿瓦的海上风力发电能力现已投入使用，到2022年将增加一倍，达到500亿瓦以上。

这意味着对海上风电电缆安装的需求将大大增加，从2019年的1800公里增加到2022年空前的4300公里，从而超过了油气行业的海底电缆安装工作量。

LNG, deepwater oil projects likely to face delays on service industry bottlenecks in 2020:

With a sharp growth in the number of new projects being brought forward by oil and gas operators the oilfield service industry is likely to face capacity constraints heading into 2020, according to independent energy research firm Rystad Energy.

“About 250 new oil and gas projects are likely to be sanctioned for development in 2020, up from 160 in 2016, and bottlenecks among suppliers appear inevitable,” the Rystad said in its latest market report on the global service market.

Floating production contractors, subsea installation players and fabricators of liquefied natural gas facilities will all likely struggle to keep up with the surge in demand for their services, thus causing projects schedules to slip, the firm said, adding exploration and production companies will find themselves in a fierce competition to secure capacity.

“Deepwater projects are now in a challenging situation as they are heavily dependent on SURF and FPSO contractors,” says Audun Martinsen, Head of Oilfield Services at Rystad Energy. “Deepwater fields have been among the most sought after supply sources in recent years, next to the shale bonanza, and the increase in massive contract awards to players in the deepwater industry now could put constraints on further field sanctioning activity.”

Another complicating factor is the massive push by certain offshore energy companies to move ahead with offshore wind projects. According to Rystad Energy, 25 gigawatts (GW) of offshore wind capacity is now operational, and this is poised to double to more than 50 GW by 2022.

This implies a massive increase in demand for installation of offshore wind power cables, climbing from 1800 km in 2019 to an unprecedented 4300 km in 2022 – thereby surpassing the amount of subsea cable installation work from the oil and gas industry.
