英国电力产量增加而天然气产量下降

据海上石油新闻1月16日消息称，英国政府一份有关该国生产行业的报告显示，电力和天然气是截至2019年11月的三个月里唯一产量增加的行业。

这份报告由英国国家统计局汇编，比较了制造业、矿业和采石业、水和废物处理以及电力和天然气行业的产量增长。

发电和输电增长了1.2%，而天然气开采业下降了1.3%。

与2018年同期相比，天然气开采业下降了7%。

贸易机构英国石油和天然气商业情报经理Ross Dornan表示：“ 2019年的初步数据显示国内天然气产量下降。

贸易机构英国石油和天然气商业情报经理Ross Dornan 称：“这主要是由于近年来进行的天然气项目较少，并且需要稳定的新投资来支持生产水平。总体而言，过去5年，石油和天然气产量增长了20%，主要是受到石油产量增长的推动。

“但然而，该盆地正在开发一系列新的天然气生产机会，如北海南部的托尔蒙特气田和设得兰群岛以西的格伦德龙纳赫。

“与Culzean项目的产量一起，这将有助于在未来几年支持国内天然气生产，符合行业2035年路线图的雄心。”

截至2019年11月的三个月，发电量比2018年增长了0.6%。由于气温下降导致需求小幅上升，电力和天然气产量环比分别上涨0.1%和0.3%。

在截至2019年11月的12个月里，天然气和电力总计增长了0.84%，而此前两年的产量一直在下降。

UK electricity production grows and gas declines

A UK government report align="justify">Compiled by the UK Office for National Statistics, the report compares production growth by the manufacturing, mining and quarrying, water and waste, and electricity and gas sectors.

Generation and transmission of electricity grew by 1.2% in contrast to gas manufacturing, which fell by 1.3%.

Compared with the same period in 2018, gas manufacturing fell by 7%.

Trade body UK Oil and Gas business intelligence manager Ross Dornan said: “Initial figures for 2019 show a decrease in domestic gas production.

“This is mainly due to fewer gas projects being progressed in recent years, with a steady stream of new investment required to support production levels. Overall, oil and gas production has increased by 20 per cent over the last five years, driven primarily by increased oil production.

“There is, however, a range of new gas production opportunities being progressed in the basin such as the Tolmount field in the southern North Sea and Glendronach, west of Shetlands.

“Along with production from the Culzean project, this will help support domestic gas production in the coming years in line with the ambitions within industry’s Roadmap 2035.”

Electricity production was 0.6% greater in the three months to November 2019 than in 2018. Month-on-month, electricity and gas rose by 0.1% and 0.3% respectively, as falling temperatures caused a small rise in demand.

In the 12 months to November 2019, gas and electricity together grew by 0.84%, after two years of falling production.
