据油价网10月6日报道，政府周四在其预算草案中称，西欧最大的石油和天然气生产国挪威预计，随着Johan Sverdrup油田二期开发和Johan Castberg油田的启动，其石油和液体产量明年将增长15%。

政府的最新估计显示，挪威的天然气产量预计将在2022年比2021年增长8%。挪威的天然气供应约占欧盟和英国天然气消费量的25%。

挪威表示：“欧洲的能源危机使挪威的天然气销售对欧洲比以往更加重要。”

根据政府的预算草案，2023年，来自石油活动的收入预计将达到1320亿美元(1.4万亿挪威克朗)，创历史新高，而2022年预计将达到1130亿美元(1.2万亿挪威克朗)，比2021年来自石油和天然气的收入高出近5倍。石油活动的高预期收入将主要反映预期的高油价，特别是天然气价格，以及挪威克朗的弱势汇率。

今年早些时候，挪威当局批准了运营商的申请，以提高几个正在运营的天然气田的产量，从而在其主要合作伙伴——欧盟和英国——在冬季前争夺天然气供应之际，实现更高的天然气产量。

挪威石油和能源部长Terje Aasland在评论预算时说，新的石油和天然气开发项目将帮助挪威在2030年之前保持相对较高的石油和天然气产量，继续成为欧洲稳定的能源供应国。

然而，Aasland表示，挪威需要大陆架运营商持续努力，以增加产量，开发新油田，并发现新油田，以抵消随着时间的推移，正在运营的油气田产量的自然下降。

Norway To Boost Oil & Gas Production As It Expects Record 2023 Revenue

Western Europe’s biggest oil and gas producer, Norway, expects its oil and liquids production to rise by 15% next year with the second phase of the Johan Sverdrup oilfield development and the start-up of the Johan Castberg oilfield, the government said in its draft budget on Thursday.

Natural gas production in Norway, which supplies around 25% of the gas consumed in the EU and the UK, is expected to rise by 8 percent in 2022 compared to 2021, the government’s latest estimates showed.

“The energy crisis in Europe makes Norwegian gas sales even more important for Europe than before,” Norway says.

Revenues from petroleum activities are expected at $132 billion (1.4 trillion Norwegian crowns) – a record high – in 2023, compared to an expected $113 billion (1.2 trillion crowns) for 2022, and nearly five times higher than the 2021 revenues from oil and gas, according to the government’s budget draft. The high expected income from petroleum activities will mostly reflect expected high oil prices, and especially gas prices, as well as a weaker exchange rate for the Norwegian crown.

Earlier this year, Norway’s authorities approved applications from operators to boost production from several operating gas fields, to allow higher gas production as its key partners, the EU and the UK, scramble for gas supply ahead of the winter.  

The new oil and gas development projects will help Norway maintain a relatively high level of oil and gas production until 2030 and continue to be a stable energy supplier to Europe, Norway’s Minister of Petroleum and Energy, Terje Aasland, said, commenting on the budget.

However, Norway needs continuous efforts from operators on the shelf to increase production, develop new fields, and make new discoveries in order to offset a natural decline in production from operating oil and gas fields over time, Aasland said.
