石油设备网讯 据今日油价网站5月20日消息 据雷斯塔能源称,北海原油和租赁凝析油产量将在夏季下滑,这将进一步收紧全球石油市场,该市场已与两OPEC成员国减产、欧佩克的减产以及俄罗斯向欧洲供应的部分管道的污染问题作斗争。
能源研究公司上周五表示,目前北海奥塞伯格和弗洛塔的计划外停机将使北海总产量下降16万桶/日。
雷斯塔能源估计,5月份北海的电力中断将使总产量下降18.5万桶/日。然而,最大的破坏预计将在下个月发生,由于埃科菲斯克的定期维护,北海石油产量将降至2014年8月以来的最低水平。
根据雷斯塔能源的油田生产和维护预测,6月北海石油产量将下滑至228万桶/日,届时将因停产而下降46.2桶/日。供给Ekofisk的油田的周转活动将是北海下游产量的主要原因,占2019年6月总停机量的23万桶/日。
雷斯塔能源公司表示:“石油市场的确将迎来一个艰难的夏天。”
除了今年夏天的定期维护外,北海的生产最近还受到计划外停机的影响。其中一家位于奥塞伯格,其原油是布伦特原油基准的组成部分之一。本月早些时候,由于消防水泵出现问题,挪威国家石油公司停止了生产,并将停产期延长了超过最初预期的时间。
根据挪国油给标准普尔全球平台的一封电子邮件,奥塞伯格油田周一恢复生产。
在英国北海,截止上周五,管道的维修关闭了三个平台的生产:Claymore、Golden Eagle以及Tartan平台。
运营商雷普索尔公司发言人对《能源之声》称:“我们正在对从Claymore至Flotta终端的主出口管道上的阀门进行维修。”

Faltering North Sea Oil Production Set To Tighten Global Markets
Crude and lease condensate production in the North Sea is set for lower levels in the summer months, further tightening the global oil market which is already grappling with production declines in 2 countries of OPEC, OPEC’s cuts, and a contamination issue that shut some Russian pipeline supplies to Europe, according to Rystad Energy.
Current unplanned outages at Oseberg and Flotta in the North Sea restrict a total of 160,000 bpd of North Sea production, the energy research firm said on Friday.
Rystad has estimated that outages in the North Sea in May will be 185,000 bpd. Yet, the biggest disruption is expected next month, when North Sea oil production is seen down to its lowest level since August 2014 because of scheduled maintenance at Ekofisk.
According to Rystad Energy’s field production and maintenance forecast, North Sea oil production will slump in June to 2.28 million bpd, when 462,000 bpd will be lost due to outages. Turnaround activity at the oil fields feeding Ekofisk will be the primary driver for the lower North Sea production, accounting for 230,000 bpd of the total outage in June 2019.
“The oil market is in for a tight start to the summer indeed,” Rystad Energy said.
Apart from scheduled maintenance this summer, North Sea production has been recently disrupted by unplanned outages. One was at Oseberg—whose crude oil is one of the components of the Brent Crude benchmark—where Equinor stopped production earlier this month as a precaution due to issues with fire water pumps, and then extended the shutdown period more than initially expected.
According to an Equinor email to S&P Global Platts, the Oseberg oil field resumed production on Monday.
In the UK North Sea, repairs on pipelines shut down production at three platforms as of last Friday: Claymore, the Golden Eagle, and Tartan.
“We are carrying out repairs to a valve on the main export pipeline from Claymore to the Flotta terminal,” a spokeswoman for the operator Repsol Sinopec told Energy Voice.
