据WENew网站11月23日奥斯陆报道，挪威国家统计局（SSB）周四公布的一项调查结果显示，挪威的油气公司已把2019年的投资预测从8月份的1651亿挪威克朗上调到了1753亿挪威克朗(206亿美元)。
挪威国家统计局补充说，挪威油气公司今年的投资已从1563亿挪威克朗下调到了1555亿挪威克朗。
不过，挪威国家统计局表示，即将修订的数据很有可能会提高今年的预测，以反映该行业正在进行的工作，这意味着同比增长可能没有目前建议的那么明显。
SSB在一份声明中表示：“对2019年的强劲增长应该谨慎解读。”
SSB补充说：“我们有理由相信这一点，即2018年和2019年的可比估计值将在2019年第一季度的调查中趋于一致，这意味着2019年的增长将低于当前调查的预期。”
由于原油价格上涨和成本削减提振了行业活动，挪威的油气投资已从大幅下跌中反弹。这是SSB第3次发布企业对2019年的预测以及企业对2018年的第7次预测。

Norway Oil Firms Raise 2019 Investment Forecast
Oil and gas companies operating in Norway have raised their investment forecasts for 2019 to 175.3 billion Norwegian crowns ($20.6 billion) from 165.1 billion seen in August, a survey by the country's statistics agency (SSB) showed Investments for 2018 were revised down to 155.5 billion crowns from 156.3 billion, it added.
However, upcoming revisions to the numbers are likely to increase the forecast for this year to reflect "The strong growth indicated for 2019 should be interpreted with caution," SSB said in a statement.
"There is reason to believe that comparable estimates for 2018 and 2019 will converge in the survey in the first quarter of 2019, thus implying lower growth for 2019 than indicated in the present survey," SSB added.
Norway's oil and gas investments have rebounded from a sharp fall as rising crude prices and cost cuts lifted industry activity. It was SSB's third release of companies' forecasts for 2019 and the seventh prediction for 2018.
