BP的英国两旗舰油田受到生产挫折打击

据石油新闻2021年3月18日伦敦报道，英国石油公司（BP）旗下的位于英国设得兰群岛西部的两个旗舰油田克莱尔油田和斯希哈林油田的少数股份持有者英国领先的独立勘探和生产公司Chrysaor公司在3月18日的一份声明中说，BP的两个旗舰油田的表现均低于预期，补救措施如新增钻井作业预计需要时间来实施。

克莱尔油田和斯希哈林油田位于大西洋东部恶劣的海洋环境中，在过去10年中先后进行了数十亿美元的升级，分别在2017年和2018年安装了新的生产设施。BP称，就英国的增长前景而言，该地区是BP的主要关注点，而不是传统的北海。

不过，在克莱尔油田和斯希哈林油田中分别持有7.5%和10%股份的Chrysaor公司在其年度报告中指出，这两个旗舰油田如今都遇到了难题。

这两个油田生产的是重质原油，而不是像布伦特和克莱尔那样的轻质低硫原油，后者是布伦特基准原油的组成部分。克莱尔原油在设得兰群岛的Sullom Voe装载，而斯希哈林原油则直接运往鹿特丹炼油厂进行加工。

BP's flagship UK oil fields hit by production setbacks

BP's flagship Clair and Schiehallion oil fields in the UK West of Shetland area have both been performing below expectations, with remedial measures such as new drilling expected to take time to implement, minority stakeholder Chrysaor said in a March 18 statement.

Schiehallion and Clair, located in a harsh maritime environment in the eastern Atlantic, have both undergone multi-billion dollar upgrades in the last decade, with new production facilities installed in 2017 and 2018 respectively. BP has described the region as its main focus in terms of UK growth prospects, rather than the conventional North Sea.

However, Chrysaor, which holds stakes of 7.5% and 10% in Clair and Schiehallion respectively, noted both were encountering problems, in its annual report.

The fields produce heavy crude, rather than light sweet grades such as Brent and Clair that contribute to the Dated Brent benchmark, with Clair crude loaded at Sullom Voe in the Shetland Islands and Schiehallion crude shipped directly to Rotterdam for processing.
