随着行业困境加剧挪威石油产量再次下滑

据普氏能源资讯5月22日报道称,根据周三公布的官方统计数据, 4月份挪威石油日产量进一步下滑至173万桶,较3月份水平下滑1.4%,较上年同期下滑7.5%,原因是该行业在北极扩张过程中存在技术问题和失误

挪威石油管理局(NPD)的数据显示,2019年前四个月,该国的石油产量比去年同期下降了9%,平均为180万桶/日,较2016年近200万桶/日的年度峰值减少了约20万桶/日。

预计挪威石油产量将在11月份开始恢复,届时巨型Johan Sverdrup油田投产; Sverdrup预计需要12个月才能实现其44万桶/日的第一阶段目标。

但该行业和国有控股的挪威国家石油公司正遭受一系列技术难题,这表明该公司正在努力管理传统产出。

此外,由于首个此类石油项目Goliat存在一系列错误导致北极地区的扩张受到严重打击,该项目招致越来越多的批评,这些批评的焦点集中在意大利运营商埃尼集团和石油安全局的监督问题上。

计划外的停产,包括Statfjord油田的明显漏油以及季节性维护,表明本月产量可能仍然低迷。

Norway oil output slips again as industry difficulties mount

Norway's oil production slid further in April, by 1.4% from March levels and 7.5% from a year earlier, to 1.73 million b/d, according to official statistics published Wednesday, as the industry grapples with technical problems and errors in its Arctic expansion.

For the first four months of 2019 the country's oil production was 9% lower than the same period a year earlier, averaging 1.8 million b/d, down some 200,000 b/d from a recent annual peak of 2 million b/d in 2016, figures from the Norwegian Petroleum Directorate (NPD) showed.

Norway's oil output is expected to regain ground with the start of production from the giant Johan Sverdrup field, expected in November; Sverdrup is expected to take 12 months to reach its first-phase target of 440,000 b/d.

But the industry, and state-controlled Equinor, are suffering a spate of technical difficulties that suggest it is struggling to manage legacy output.

And expansion into the Arctic has taken a severe knock due to a catalog of errors at the first such oil project, Goliat, which has attracted growing criticism centered on Italian operator Eni and issues with supervision by the Petroleum Safety Authority.

Unplanned outages, including an apparent oil spill at the Statfjord field, as well as seasonal maintenance, suggest production may remain depressed this month.
