中国石化新闻网讯 据美国钻井网站2023年1月11日奥斯陆报道，挪威当局在2022年预定区域(APA)生产许可证的颁发中向25家石油和天然气公司颁发了挪威大陆架上总共47份生产许可证的所有权权益。
挪威石油管理局(NPD)表示，挪威当局在2022年秋季评估了来自26家油气公司的申请。
在47份生产许可证中，29份生产许可证在北海，16份生产许可证在挪威海，2份生产许可证在巴伦支海，其中20份生产许可证是现有生产许可证的额外探区。
NPD许可证管理总监Kalmar Ildstad说：“很高兴看到参与公司的多样性，参与公司对APA和挪威大陆架感兴趣。挪威大陆架上进一步创造价值的一个关键因素是利用现有油气基础设施的可用产能。这就是为什么这些油气公司继续积极勘探以找到靠近这些基础设施的资源是很重要的。
在挪威大陆架上的一个地区能够颁发石油生产许可证之前，该地区必须对石油活动开放。生产许可证只能在开放和可进行石油活动的地区颁发。
生产许可证赋予了在许可证地理区域内勘探、钻探和开采石油的独家权利。生产许可证通常通过新一轮许可证出售招标发放。
2022年APA最大的赢家是挪威能源巨头Equinor(获得26份生产许可证)，阿克尔BP公司(获得17份生产许可证)，瓦尔能源公司(获得12份生产许可证)以及挪威DNO石油公司和德国温特斯豪Dea公司(各获得11份生产许可证)。
在另一份声明中，Equinor表示，在26份新的生产许可证中，18份生产许可证是作为运营商颁发的，8份是作为合作伙伴颁发的。其中16份生产许可证在北海，9份在挪威海，1份在巴伦支海。
