2020年11月2日， 國(guó)有控股的挪威國(guó)家石油公司新任CEO Anders Opedal表示，該公司計(jì)劃到2050年實(shí)現(xiàn)運(yùn)營(yíng)和產(chǎn)品消費(fèi)的凈零排放，同時(shí)重申了2019-2026年每年增加3%石油和天然氣產(chǎn)量的目標(biāo)。

2020/11/2  Norway's state-controlled Equinor aims to achieve net zero emissions from its operations and consumption of its products by 2050, new CEO Anders Opedal said Nov. 2, while reiterating the goal of increasing oil and gas output by 3% annually in 2019-26.

 

今年2月，挪威國(guó)家石油公司曾宣布到2050年將 "凈碳強(qiáng)度 "降低50%，包括其自身運(yùn)營(yíng)排放和產(chǎn)品排放。同時(shí)它還設(shè)定了到2030年在全球范圍內(nèi)實(shí)現(xiàn)自身運(yùn)營(yíng)凈零排放，目前這一目標(biāo)依然存在。

In February, Equinor had announced it would target a 50% reduction in "net carbon intensity," comprising its own operational emissions and those from its products, by 2050. It also set the goal, which remains in place, of achieving net zero emissions from its own operations globally by 2030.

 

不過(guò)，挪威國(guó)家石油公司油氣生產(chǎn)消費(fèi)凈零排放的目標(biāo)與BP、殼牌和道達(dá)爾等歐洲競(jìng)爭(zhēng)對(duì)手目標(biāo)一致。

However, the goal of net zero emissions from consumption of the company's oil and gas production aligns it with European rivals such as BP, Shell and Total.

 

"挪威國(guó)家石油公司致力于成為能源轉(zhuǎn)型的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)者，這是一個(gè)穩(wěn)健的商業(yè)戰(zhàn)略，以確保公司在全社會(huì)邁向凈零能源系統(tǒng)的深刻變革時(shí)期保持長(zhǎng)期競(jìng)爭(zhēng)力，"11月2日，接替Eldar Saetre的Opedal說(shuō)。"未來(lái)幾個(gè)月，我們將更新戰(zhàn)略，繼續(xù)為股東創(chuàng)造價(jià)值，并實(shí)現(xiàn)這一雄心。"

"Equinor is committed to being a leader in the energy transition. It is a sound business strategy to ensure long-term competitiveness during a period of profound changes in the energy systems as society moves towards net zero," Opedal, who took over from Eldar Saetre on Nov. 2, said. "Over the coming months, we will update our strategy to continue to create value for our shareholders and to realize this ambition."

 

挪威國(guó)家石油公司還表示，預(yù)計(jì)從2030年左右開(kāi)始，世界油氣需求將逐步下降，但他們對(duì)未來(lái)十年的油價(jià)仍保持相對(duì)樂(lè)觀的看法，并在10月29日預(yù)測(cè)布蘭特油價(jià)將在2025年升至65美元/桶，并在2030年前進(jìn)一步提升。即將離任的首席財(cái)務(wù)官Lars Christian Bacher當(dāng)天也對(duì)分析師表示，對(duì)石油市場(chǎng)的預(yù)期過(guò)于受需求疲軟的影響，而投資不足可能導(dǎo)致對(duì)供應(yīng)短缺認(rèn)識(shí)不足。

The company added that it expects a gradual decline in world oil and gas demand from around 2030, but has also maintained a relatively positive view of oil prices over the coming decade, forecasting on Oct. 29 Brent prices to rise to $65/b in 2025, with a further rise to 2030. Outgoing chief financial officer Lars Christian Bacher also told analysts the same day that perceptions in the oil market were overly influenced by weak demand and not enough by the likely supply shortfall resulting from insufficient investment.

 

在最新的聲明中，挪威國(guó)家石油公司為其持續(xù)的石油和天然氣承諾辯護(hù)說(shuō)："公司在具有巨大價(jià)值創(chuàng)造潛力且有吸引力的地區(qū)擁有世界一流的全球資產(chǎn)。通過(guò)財(cái)務(wù)紀(jì)律和優(yōu)先次序優(yōu)化其投資組合，公司將繼續(xù)開(kāi)發(fā)具有競(jìng)爭(zhēng)力和彈性的項(xiàng)目，同時(shí)保持行業(yè)領(lǐng)先的采收率、單位成本和碳效率。"

In its latest statement, Equinor defended its continued oil and gas commitments, saying, "Equinor is well positioned with world-class global assets in attractive areas with substantial value creation potential. By optimizing its portfolio through financial discipline and prioritization, Equinor will continue to develop competitive and resilient projects whilst maintaining industry-leading recovery rates, unit costs and carbon efficiency."

 

挪威國(guó)家石油公司第三季度的石油和天然氣產(chǎn)量同比增長(zhǎng)7%，其中挪威石油產(chǎn)量因新投產(chǎn)的Johan Sverdrup油田而猛增25%。 

The company's oil and gas output was up 7% on the year in the third quarter, including a 25% jump in its Norwegian oil production on the back of the newly producing Johan Sverdrup field.
