據離岸工程網站5月26日消息 挪威國家統計局（SSB）周三的一項調查顯示，隨著更多項目的開發，挪威的石油和天然氣公司在 過去三個月里提高了對2021年和2022年的投資預測。

　　挪威國家統計局表示，挪威最大的商業部門預計今年將投資1819億挪威克朗（219.5億美元），高于2月份預測的1736億挪威克朗。

　　挪威國家統計局在一份聲明中表示：“2021年的向上調整是由在開發油田和油田開發類別內的較高估計值所推動。”

　　“除其他外，兩個新的發展和運營計劃（PDO）已經提交。”

　　目前對2022年的預測為1428億克朗，表明與2021年相比可能有所下降，但這一預測高于三個月前的1385億克朗，隨著企業正式 確定明年的預算，這一預測可能繼續攀升。

　　挪威國家統計局表示，目前預計2022年投資下降的原因是油田開發量下降10%，部分被不斷增長的勘探活動所抵消。

　　隨著基礎設施的建設，石油行業的投資水平影響到挪威經濟的近期增長，以及該國的長期石油產量。

　　Oil Firms in Norway Raise Spending Forecasts

　　Oil and gas firms in Norway have increased their 2021 and 2022 investment forecasts during the last three months as more projects are being developed, a national statistics office (SSB) survey showed on Wednesday.

　　The biggest business sector in Norway now expects to invest 181.9 billion Norwegian crowns ($21.95 billion) this year, up from a forecast of 173.6 billion made in February, the SSB said.

　　"The upward adjustment for 2021 is driven by higher estimates within the categories of fields on stream and field development," SSB said in a statement.

　　"Among other things, two new plans for development and operation (PDO) have been submitted," it added.

　　The prediction for 2022 now stands at 142.8 billion crowns, indicating a potential decline compared to 2021. But the forecast was up from 138.5 billion seen three months ago and may continue to climb as companies formalize next year's budgets.

　　For the time being, the predicted decline in investments in 2022 is expected to be driven by a 10% drop in field developments, partly offset by growing exploration activities, SSB said.

　　Oil industry investment levels impact the near-term growth of Norway's economy as infrastructure is being built, as well as the country's longer-term output of petroleum.
