20 19 65438+ 10/0/5, Norwegian Minister of Petroleum Industry Kjell-B? RgeFreiberg announced at the national petroleum industry seminar that Norway issued 83 exploration and exploitation licenses to 33 oil companies in 20 19. Last year, the figure was only 75. The biggest winner is still Statoil (formerly Statoil, March 20 18 in Equinor), which has 29 exploration and mining licenses. Norwegian companies Aker BP and DNO followed closely, 2 1 and18 respectively; The remaining 65,438+05 companies are divided by international giants such as Total, ConocoPhillips and Shell.
Frejborg raised his eyebrows unceremoniously, because Beihai Oilfield, the treasure house of this wealthy small Nordic country, is running out. If we can't intensify oil exploration and find new oil, the 50-year-old Norwegian oil industry may withdraw from the historical stage in the near future. In 20 18, the average daily oil production in Norway was1490,000 barrels, which was 6.3% lower than last year's1590,000 barrels per day. Compared with the heyday of 200 1, this figure is only half of that time. According to the estimation of the Norwegian National Petroleum Committee, Beihai Oilfield has been determined to have no future.
From rough seismic wave physical exploration to detailed drilling and core sample exploration, to cost accounting and development permit application, the development of submarine oil fields takes a long time, usually more than five to ten years. In the past ten years, the discovery of oil reserves on the Norwegian continental shelf is not satisfactory. Not only can it not be compared with the big oil fields discovered in1970s and1980s, but it can't even make up for the decline of old oil fields. What's even more frightening is that besides John? Svay Droop Oilfield and John? Beyond Castberg oil field, the Norwegian oil industry can no longer find a suitable recoverable oil field. This means that after 2030, Norway's oil production will drop sharply. Once the oil industry declines, it will not only mean that this fiscal revenue will not be lost, but also seriously affect the Norwegian labor market.
