據離岸工程網站4月20日消息 挪威石油管理局（NPD）周二公布的初步數據顯示，挪威3月份的油氣產量略低于官方預期。

　　原油產量較2月份下降1.1%，至3月份的177.3萬桶/天，而挪威石油管理局對當月的預測為178.5萬桶/天。

　　石油產量比2020年3月增長了3.8%。

　　包括天然凝析油和凝析油在內，挪威3月份的石油液體總產量為209萬桶/天。

　　國際能源署（IEA）預測，到2021年底，挪威的液體總產量將達到230萬桶/天，創下10多年來的最高水平，高于挪威石油管理局預測的217萬桶/天。

　　IEA表示，預計石油產量的增加部分是由于西歐最大油田Johan Sverdrup產量的上升，以及新油田的投產。

　　據運營商Equinor稱，到2021年年中，Sverdrup的日產量預計將從年初的50萬桶左右增至53.5萬桶。

　　挪威3月份的天然氣總產量為98.1億立方米，低于挪威石油管理局預測的98.8億立方米，也低于去年同期的107.2億立方米。

　　Norway's March Oil and Gas Output Slightly Below Expectation

　　Norway's oil and gas production slightly lagged official expectations in March, preliminary data from the Norwegian Petroleum Directorate (NPD) showed on Tuesday.

　　Crude oil output fell 1.1% from February to 1.773 million barrels per day (bpd) in March, while the NPD's forecast for the month had stood at 1.785 million bpd.

　　Oil output was 3.8% higher than in March of 2020.

　　Including natural gas liquids (NGL) and condensate, Norway's overall oil liquids production amounted to 2.09 million bpd in March.

　　The International Energy Agency (IEA) predicts Norway's overall liquids production will reach 2.3 million bpd by end-2021, its highest in more than 10 years and above the NPD's forecast of 2.17 million bpd.

　　The increase is expected to come partly as a result of rising output from western Europe's largest oilfield, Johan Sverdrup, as well as the startup of new fields, the IEA has said.

　　Sverdrup's daily production is expected to increase to 535,000 bpd by mid-2021, up from around 500,000 bpd at the start of the year, according to operator Equinor.

　　Norway's output of natural gas in March totalled 9.81 billion cubic meters (bcm), below the NPD's forecast of 9.88 bcm and down from 10.72 bcm a year earlier.
