據OE網站3月28日報道，挪威能源部周一表示，Aker BP已獲準增加其Skarv油田的天然氣出口，使該公司能夠利用目前超過石油價格的高企的天然氣價格機會。

到目前為止，Aker BP已經將Skarv近一半的天然氣產量注入到儲層中，以提高石油產量，但該公司上個月表示，正在考慮增加天然氣出口。

挪威石油局的數據顯示，Skarv去年生產了約80億立方米的天然氣，但僅售出45億立方米。

Aker BP沒有立即回應Skarv天然氣產量可能會增加多少的置評請求。

擁有多數股權的國有石油公司Equinor EQNR.OL去年也做出了類似的決定，不再注入儲層，以增加Heidrun和Gina Krog氣田的天然氣出口。

根據天然氣系統(tǒng)運營商Gassco的數據顯示，挪威去年的天然氣總出口量達到1132億立方米。

挪威海北部的Skarv氣田將天然氣輸送到kararstoe加工廠，然后出口到歐洲。

運營商Aker BP持有Skarv 23.8%的股份，合作伙伴Equinor持有36.2%，Wintershall DEA持有28.1%，PGNiG PGN.WA持有11.9%。

Aker BP Gets Gov't OK to Raise Gas Output from Skarv Offshore Field

Norway's Aker BP has won permission to increase gas exports from its Skarv field, the country's energy ministry said on Monday, enabling the company to take advantage of high gas prices that now exceed the price of oil.

Until now, Aker BP has injected almost half of Skarv's natural gas output back into the reservoir in order to boost oil production, but the company last month said it was considering a move to more gas exports.

Skarv produced about 8 billion cubic metres (bcm) of gas last year but sold only 4.5 bcm, data from the Norwegian Petroleum Directorate showed.

Aker BP did not immediately respond to a request for comment on how much Skarv's gas output might rise.

Majority state-owned Equinor EQNR.OL last year made similar decisions to boost gas exports from its Heidrun and Gina Krog fields by switching away from reservoir injections. 

Norway's overall gas exports last year amounted to 113.2 bcm, according to gas systems operator Gassco.

The Skarv field in the northern part of the Norwegian Sea pipes gas to the Kaarstoe processing plant before it is exported to Europe.

Operator Aker BP holds a 23.8% stake in Skarv, while partners Equinor has 36.2%, Wintershall DEA has 28.1% and PGNiG PGN.WA 11.9%.
