挪国油与Aker BP达成挪威海岸油气开发协议

据路透社6月11日报道，挪国油Equinor和Aker BP公司周四表示，已经就如何联合开发挪威海岸最大的剩余油气储量达成了协议。

Krafla、Fulla和Alvheim北部地区油气储量预计超5亿桶，这些资源将接受双方联合投资开发，预计2022年开始建造平台和设备。

这两家公司长期以来一直在开发问题上陷入僵局，现在也没有提供具体投产日期，和开发该油田的成本估算。

就在这一突破性进展宣布的几天前，挪威议会同意对石油行业实施一系列临时减税措施，以刺激投资并拯救当前的石油行业就业危机。

Norwegian oil firms finally agree offshore development plan

Equinor and Aker BP have struck a deal on how to jointly develop one of the largest remaining oil and gas reserves off the coast of Norway, the companies said on Thursday.

The Krafla, Fulla and North of Alvheim area, estimated to contain more than 500 million barrels of oil equivalent, will be subject to joint investment, with the construction of platforms and equipment expected to begin in 2022.

The companies, which have long been gridlocked over the development, did not present a startup date for production or an estimate for the cost of developing the field.

The plan consists of a processing platform in the southern part operated by Aker BP and an unmanned processing platform in the north operated by Equinor, with options for several smaller satellite units that can feed into those main units.

The breakthrough was announced just days after Norway’s parliament agreed to a set of temporary tax cuts for the oil industry in a bid to spur investment and save jobs threatened by cost cuts amid the coronavirus pandemic.
