据今日石油2021年1月19日奥斯陆报道，挪威国家石油理事会（NPD）周二（1月19日）表示，挪威在最近一轮挪威大陆架预定区域（APA）许可证出售招标中向30家公司颁发了61份新的石油和天然气勘探活动许可证。
去年秋季，挪威政府有关部门共对33家公司提交的申请进行了评估。
在授出的61份新油气勘探活动许可证中，34份在北海，24份在挪威海，3份在巴伦支海
NPD许可证管理主管卡尔玛 伊尔德斯塔表示，“今年向多达30家公司颁发61份新生产许可证表明，石油行业仍对在挪威大陆架上获得有利可图的发现抱有很大期望。”
伊尔德斯塔表示，“这30家公司对勘探已知地质和接近现有基础设施的地区表现出了极大的兴趣，这是一件好事。”
NPD表示，在此次APA许可证出售招标中获得新油气勘探许可证的参与者非常不同。小型公司和大型国际公司都获得了新生产许可证。
挪威表示，在约翰斯维尔德鲁普大油田等新开发项目的支持下，到2024年，挪威的石油产量将增长19%，同时挪威将在未来几年削减大约40%的碳排放量。

Norway issues 61 new licences for oil and gas exploration activities
Thirty companies have received offers of ownership interests in a total of 61 production licences The authorities assessed applications from a total of 33 companies during autumn last year.
Of the 61 production licences, 34 are in the North Sea, 24 are in the Norwegian Sea and 3 are in the Barents Sea.
“This year’s award of 61 new production licences to as many as 30 companies shows that the petroleum industry still has significant expectations of making profitable discoveries “It’s positive that the companies are showing significant interest in exploring in areas with known geology, and close to existing infrastructure,” Ildstad stated.
The Norwegian Petroleum Directorate said the player landscape in this APA award is very diverse. Both small companies and major international players are being offered exploration acreage.
Norway has said it expects oil production to rise by 19% through to 2024 on the back of new developments such as Johan Sverdrup, while it is eyeing emissions reductions in the order of 40% in the coming years.
