據油價網2021年5月26日報道，挪威國家統計局周三在其季度調查報告中表示，與3個月前的預測相比，挪威石油公司預計今年在挪威海上油氣業務上的支出將增加4.8%，這得益于更多油田的投產。

　　今年，挪威包括管道運輸在內的石油和天然氣活動的總投資估計為218億美元(1819億挪威克朗)，比上一季度的估計高出4.8%。挪威國家統計局表示，較高的投資預期主要是由油田開發和投產帶來的。

　　自上個季度以來，挪威石油公司已向有關部門提交了兩個油氣田的開發計劃，這兩個油氣田沒有包括在此前的估計中。

　　對預期投資的向上修正顯示，今年與2020年相比，挪威海上油氣業務的支出將有0.9%的小幅增長。

　　然而，目前對挪威2022年石油和天然氣投資的估計——盡管最新調查的數據高于前一次調查——仍然表明，與今年相比，明年挪威的石油和天然氣投資總體上會下降。最新的2022年投資預測為172億美元(1428億克朗)，比2月份的調查估計增長3.1%。

　　去年年底，挪威石油和天然氣協會表示，與2020年相比，2021年挪威海上油氣投資將下降4.2%，降幅小于該協會在2020年初擔心的水平。

　　挪威石油和天然氣協會上周對國際能源署(IEA)的一份令人震驚的報告發表評論稱，如果世界想在2050年實現凈零排放，就不需要在石油和天然氣領域進行新的投資。

　　Norway's Oil Industry Boosts Investment Despite IEA Report

　　Oil firms expect to spend 4.8 percent more on oil and gas operations offshore Norway in 2021 compared to the previous estimate three months ago, thanks to more fields coming on stream, Statistics Norway said in its quarterly survey on Wednesday.

　　Total investments in oil and gas activity, including pipeline transportation, are now estimated at US$21.8 billion (181.9 billion Norwegian crowns) for this year, which is 4.8 percent higher than estimated in the previous quarter. The higher investment forecast is mainly driven by field development and fields coming on stream, Statistics Norway said.

　　Since the last quarter, the industry has filed with authorities development plans for two oil and gas fields, which were not included in the previous estimate.

　　The upward revision of expected investments now point to slight growth of 0.9 percent in 2021 compared to 2020.

　　Yet, current estimates for investments in oil and gas in Norway in 2022—albeit higher in the latest survey than in the previous one – still point to an overall drop next year compared to this year. The latest investment forecast for 2022 is US$17.2 billion (142.8 billion crowns), up by 3.1 percent compared to the estimate in the previous survey in February.

　　At the end of last year, the Norwegian Oil and Gas Association said that investments in oil and gas offshore Norway were set to decline by 4.2 percent in 2021 compared to 2020, a smaller drop than what the industry feared in early 2020.

　　The association, the main industry body and employer’s organization for the sector, commented last week on the bombshell report of the International Energy Association (IEA) that suggests no new investments in oil and gas are needed if the world wants to reach net-zero emissions in 2050.
