据钻机地带6月3日消息,英国可能有望成为能源领域的“硅谷”,这就是英国石油天然气公司(OGUK)首席执行官迪尔德丽·米基(Deirdre Michie)在本周该组织年会的开幕词中所说的。她补充表示,在正确的支持下, 英国将成为未来关键领域的全球领导者,例如减排、清洁能源和低碳技术。
在演讲中,米基强调,北海过渡协议是该国出口增长部门的基石,并指出该协议是七国集团(G7)国家的首个此类协议。
米基在演讲中称:“我们的产业仍然是皇冠上的一颗明珠,是英国工业的成功故事,还有很多其他的“明珠”——造船、纺织、钢铁和采矿等等。”
“所有这些产业的共同点是,当对其产品的需求仍然存在时,它们却消失不见了,留下可怕的后果,我们无需粉饰这一事实,它会对被遗忘的人和工作、社区以及企业造成可怕的后果,并失去改变的机会。”
“理解我们为什么让这种事情发生是关键,因为历史不需要重演。但是我们必须做出慎重的选择。我们选择责任,在投资未来能源的同时降低行业排放——以全球领先的速度。”米基继续说道。
“对我们的排放负责,支持就业,为处于变化边缘的能源社区提供动力;放开投资,同时也放开我们需要的工程技术,以便更快实现目标;支持供应链上数百家公司,他们在石油和天然气行业磨练了技能,现在正为整个能源行业工作。”
“这个选择意味着我们将以一种公平的方式实现我们的气候目标,不让任何人掉队。”
OGUK的年度会议于6月1日至3日上午通过三个免费的网络研讨会举行。OGUK网站强调,该活动汇集了来自各个领域的行业领先专家,讨论在COP26 (2021年联合国气候变化大会)之前英国海上油气行业的变化。
早在3月份,英国政府就与该行业达成了一项北海过渡协议。在该协议达成后,OGUK赞扬了行业和政界对该协议的支持,并补充称,该协议得到了其成员的支持,该组织表示,这些成员代表了横跨英国各地的400多家公司。

UK Could Become Silicon Valley of Energy
The UK could become the Silicon Valley of energy.That’s what Oil & Gas UK’s (OGUK) Chief Executive Deirdre Michie said in the opening speech of the organization’s annual conference this week, adding that, with the right support, the UK will be the global leader in the critical areas of the future, such as emissions reduction, clean energy, and low carbon technologies.
In the speech, Michie highlighted that the North Sea Transition Deal was the cornerstone of this exportable growth sector for the country and pointed out that the deal is the first of its kind by a G7 country.
“Our sector is still a jewel in the crown and an industrial success story for the UK,” Michie said in the speech. “There have been many other jewels – shipbuilding, textiles, steel and mining to name just a few,” Michie added.
“What all of these have in common is that they were all lost while the demand for their products continued. With dire consequences – let’s not sugarcoat it – on people and jobs, communities and businesses that were left behind and opportunities to transform being lost,” Michie said.
“Understanding why we let this happen is key because history doesn’t have to be repeated. But we have to make conscious choices,” Michie continued. “We are choosing to be responsible and drive down our industry emissions while investing in the energies of the future – at a pace which is leading the way globally,” Michie went on to say.
“Being accountable for our emissions, supporting jobs, and powering energy communities which are very much on the cusp of change; unlocking the investment but also the engineering expertise we need to get there faster; supporting the hundreds of companies across the supply chain who have sharpened their skills in the oil and gas sector and are now working across the energy industry,” Michie said.
“That is the choice that means we will meet our climate goals in a way which is fair and leaves no one behind,” Michie added.
OGUK’s annual conference is taking place via three free to attend morning webinars from June 1-3. The event brings together industry leading experts from across the sector and beyond to discuss the changing face of the UK offshore oil and gas industry, in the run up to COP26, OGUK’s website highlights.
Back in March, the UK government agreed a North Sea Transition Deal with the industry. Following the deal, OGUK praised industry and political backing for the agreement, adding that the deal was supported by its members, which it said represent over 400 companies spanning the length and breadth of the UK.
