據(jù)今日油價(jià)網(wǎng)站3月29日消息 據(jù)彭博社報(bào)道，英國(guó)海上能源協(xié)會(huì)（OEUK）本周表示，英國(guó)天然氣行業(yè)正在努力提高產(chǎn)量，否則英國(guó)將更加依賴進(jìn)口。

該協(xié)會(huì)的前身為英國(guó)石油天然氣協(xié)會(huì)，其表示，如果沒有對(duì)新的天然氣生產(chǎn)進(jìn)行新的投資，到2030年，英國(guó)70%-80%的天然氣消費(fèi)將依賴進(jìn)口。

該協(xié)會(huì)提醒稱，今年英國(guó)的天然氣產(chǎn)量與去年相比幾乎沒有變化，而需求將顯著增長(zhǎng)。與此同時(shí)，挪威去年成為英國(guó)最大的天然氣供應(yīng)商。

據(jù)OEUK稱，斯堪的納維亞國(guó)家是一個(gè)可靠的供應(yīng)商，但英國(guó)并不是其唯一的客戶，這表明它可能需要替代供應(yīng)，因?yàn)榕餐呀?jīng)處于緊張狀態(tài)，這要?dú)w因于自去年以來一直困擾歐洲的需求激增和供應(yīng)下滑。

該協(xié)會(huì)還表示，如果不對(duì)新能源基礎(chǔ)設(shè)施進(jìn)行新投資，英國(guó)的石油和天然氣總產(chǎn)量每年將下降15%。

OEUK表示：“這種下降比預(yù)測(cè)英國(guó)能源需求的減少要快得多，所以如果沒有這樣的投資，2030年我們將依賴其他國(guó)家至少80%的天然氣和70%的石油。”

本周早些時(shí)候，OEUK公布了一項(xiàng)全面計(jì)劃，該計(jì)劃在不損害氣候目標(biāo)的情況下保護(hù)英國(guó)的能源安全。該協(xié)會(huì)在報(bào)告中表示，未來兩年，國(guó)內(nèi)生產(chǎn)的天然氣可供應(yīng)英國(guó)消費(fèi)量的40%左右，相當(dāng)于石油消費(fèi)量的65%以上。

與此同時(shí)，根據(jù)OEUK的說法，協(xié)會(huì)優(yōu)先考慮從化石燃料過渡，這已經(jīng)嚴(yán)重破壞了對(duì)新油氣生產(chǎn)的投資。

UK Gas Output Stagnation Threatens Supply

The UK’s natural gas industry is struggling to boost production, and this will likely make the country more reliant on imports, industry association Offshore Energies UK said this week, as quoted by Bloomberg.

Without fresh investment in new gas production, the body, formerly known as Oil and Gas UK, by 2030, the country would rely on imports for between 70 and 80 percent of its gas consumption.

The body warned that this year’s gas production in the UK would be little changed from last year, while demand was set to grow more markedly. Meanwhile, Norway became the largest supplier of gas to the UK last year. 

According to Offshore Energies UK, the Scandinavian country is a reliable supplier, but the UK is not its only client, suggesting it might need alternative supplies because Norway is already stretched as it is, thanks to the surge in demand and the slump in supply that has been plagued Europe since last year.

The body also warned that total oil and gas production in the UK was seen declining by as much as 15 percent every year without “rapid” new investment in new energy infrastructure.

“This decline is much faster than the predicted reduction in U.K. energy demand so, if there is no such investment then, by 2030, we will be reliant on other countries for at least 80% of our gas and 70% of our oil,” OEUK said. 

Earlier this week, the OEUK published what it dubbed a comprehensive plan that protects UK energy security without compromising on climate goals. In it, the body said domestic production could supply some 40 percent of the gas the country consumes and the equivalent of more than 65 percent of oil consumption over the next two years.

At the same time, the industry body prioritized the transition away from fossil fuels, which has already seriously undermined investments in new oil and gas production, according to OEUK itself.
