据今日油价网站3月29日消息 据彭博社报道,英国海上能源协会(OEUK)本周表示,英国天然气行业正在努力提高产量,否则英国将更加依赖进口。
该协会的前身为英国石油天然气协会,其表示,如果没有对新的天然气生产进行新的投资,到2030年,英国70%-80%的天然气消费将依赖进口。
该协会提醒称,今年英国的天然气产量与去年相比几乎没有变化,而需求将显著增长。与此同时,挪威去年成为英国最大的天然气供应商。
据OEUK称,斯堪的纳维亚国家是一个可靠的供应商,但英国并不是其唯一的客户,这表明它可能需要替代供应,因为挪威已经处于紧张状态,这要归因于自去年以来一直困扰欧洲的需求激增和供应下滑。
该协会还表示,如果不对新能源基础设施进行新投资,英国的石油和天然气总产量每年将下降15%。
OEUK表示:“这种下降比预测英国能源需求的减少要快得多,所以如果没有这样的投资,2030年我们将依赖其他国家至少80%的天然气和70%的石油。”
本周早些时候,OEUK公布了一项全面计划,该计划在不损害气候目标的情况下保护英国的能源安全。该协会在报告中表示,未来两年,国内生产的天然气可供应英国消费量的40%左右,相当于石油消费量的65%以上。
与此同时,根据OEUK的说法,协会优先考虑从化石燃料过渡,这已经严重破坏了对新油气生产的投资。

UK Gas Output Stagnation Threatens Supply
The UK’s natural gas industry is struggling to boost production, and this will likely make the country more reliant on imports, industry association Offshore Energies UK said this week, as quoted by Bloomberg.
Without fresh investment in new gas production, the body, formerly known as Oil and Gas UK, by 2030, the country would rely on imports for between 70 and 80 percent of its gas consumption.
The body warned that this year’s gas production in the UK would be little changed from last year, while demand was set to grow more markedly. Meanwhile, Norway became the largest supplier of gas to the UK last year.
According to Offshore Energies UK, the Scandinavian country is a reliable supplier, but the UK is not its only client, suggesting it might need alternative supplies because Norway is already stretched as it is, thanks to the surge in demand and the slump in supply that has been plagued Europe since last year.
The body also warned that total oil and gas production in the UK was seen declining by as much as 15 percent every year without “rapid” new investment in new energy infrastructure.
“This decline is much faster than the predicted reduction in U.K. energy demand so, if there is no such investment then, by 2030, we will be reliant on other countries for at least 80% of our gas and 70% of our oil,” OEUK said.
Earlier this week, the OEUK published what it dubbed a comprehensive plan that protects UK energy security without compromising on climate goals. In it, the body said domestic production could supply some 40 percent of the gas the country consumes and the equivalent of more than 65 percent of oil consumption over the next two years.
At the same time, the industry body prioritized the transition away from fossil fuels, which has already seriously undermined investments in new oil and gas production, according to OEUK itself.
