2020年全球油气项目获批数量将减少75%

据7月21日Kallanish Energy报道，2020年获批的全球石油和天然气项目数量将比去年下降75%。Rystad Energy上周五公布的数据显示，全球获批的石油和天然气项目总额预计约为4700万美元。Rystad认为，导致这一数字下降的主要因素是疫情的爆发，这大大减缓了2020年的项目投资。

今年迄今为止，承诺项目总计价值290亿美元，其中海上项目占55%(160亿美元)，陆上项目占45%(130亿美元)。相比之下，2019年批准的项目总额达到1970亿美元，其中1090亿美元用于海上项目，880亿美元用于陆上项目。

Rystad能源服务分析师Karan Satwani表示:“预计2020年的承诺项目将与2019年持平，但由于新冠肺炎导致行业低迷，以致于批准项目大幅下降。展望未来，获批项目力度不会再次加大，也不会很快恢复到2019年的水平。”

Rystad表示，如果没有俄罗斯和挪威最近批准的项目，2020年的全球投资总额将会大大降低。这些投资包括俄罗斯天然气工业股份公司的Kamennomysskoye-More项目和Semakovskoye油田的开发，以及Equinor在挪威的Breidablikk油田的开发。

Global oil and gas project sanctioning to fall 75% in 2020: Rystad Energy

New analysis has found that global oil and gas project sanctioning is due to fall by 75% in 2020 compared to last year, Kallanish Energy reports.

Figures published by Rystad Energy last Friday show that sanctioning of global oil and gas projects is expected to total approximately $47 million. This represents a 75% year-on-year decrease on project sanctioning recorded in 2019.

The primary factor behind the drop according to Rystad is the global Covid-19 pandemic, which has significantly slowed project investments in 2020.

To date this year, committed projects are valued at a combined $29 billion, with offshore projects accounting for 55% ($16 billion) and 45% ($13 billion) going towards onshore projects.

In comparison, total sanctioning value reached $197 billion in 2019, with $109 billion going to offshore projects and $88 billion to onshore projects.

“At the beginning of this year, the project commitments forecast for 2020 were expected to be comparable to 2019, but the industry downturn thanks to Covid-19 has caused commitments to fall sharply,” said Karan Satwani, energy service analyst at Rystad Energy.

“Going forward, Rystad Energy estimates that sanctioning will not pick up again and recover to 2019 levels anytime soon.”

Rystad states that the global total for 2020 would be considerably lower without recent projects sanctioned in Russia and Norway. These include investments in the Kamennomysskoye-More project and Semakovskoye field development by Russian major Gazprom and Equinor’s Breidablikk development in Norway.
