據油氣新聞4月23日消息稱，作為上游油氣田電氣化的領導者，Equinor參與了橫跨挪威大陸架的正在進行和即將進行的電氣化項目。據領先的數據分析公司GlobalData稱，該項目管道的成功啟動將使該公司到2025年通過陸上電力使其總油氣生產基地的35%以上實現電氣化。

　　GlobalData高級油氣分析師Daniel Rogers評論道:“上游油氣運營商正面臨來自政府、股東和金融機構的越來越大的壓力，要求他們減少排放和碳足跡。油田電氣化是減少生產運營中溫室氣體（GHG）排放的有效方法。通過取代傳統的燃氣渦輪和柴油渦輪機進行發電并連接到挪威電網，挪威運營商可以大大減少排放。

　　“在Equinor參與的海上電氣化項目中，Troll和Johan Sverdrup通過電氣化每年減少超過60萬噸的二氧化碳排放，避免了最大的排放量。Equinor正在通過Utsira High項目積極擴大其電氣化工作，該項目包括對Gina Krog、Edvard Grieg和Ivar Aasen海上油田的電氣化，以及Sleipner和Gudrun的部分電氣化。據估計，該項目每年將減少100多萬噸二氧化碳的排放?！?/p>

　　“Equinor在油田電氣化方面是一個明顯的領導者，它的一些主要開發項目已經從岸上提供電力或部分電力，一個強大的項目管道將推動其電氣化生產基地成為該地區最大的。在挪威的其他地方，倫丁能源公司的產量可能無法達到Equinor的規模，但到2025年，該公司將使該地區90%以上的生產基地實現電氣化。雖然小型本土企業OKEA目前有50%的生產流實現了電氣化，但如果宣布電氣化努力繼續推進，到2025年，該公司將擁有一個完全電氣化的生產基地?！?/p>

　　上游運營商已表示有興趣為挪威大陸架上在營的或即將建成的20多個油氣田是實現電氣化，最近實施的二氧化碳稅上調可能會鼓勵進一步的電氣化努力，特別是在排放密集的作業中。對于新的開發項目，盡管前期投資增加，運營成本降低，生產效率提高，但長期來看，油田電氣化在經濟上是可行的。

　　Rogers總結說：“挪威可再生能源電網與海上石油作業的互聯互通，使得石油和天然氣生產效率更高，碳足跡更低。海上電氣化的努力可能有助于可再生能源的更快增長，海上可再生能源技術的進步，海上傳輸基礎設施的擴大，并使油氣和可再生能源參與者之間建立伙伴關系。因此，挪威正在采取的措施應該促進整個行業的努力，以提高效率和降低排放?！?/p>

　　Equinor on track to see over 650,000boed of its oil and gas production base powered from shore by 2025

　　As a leader of upstream oil and gas field electrification, Equinor is involved in both active and upcoming electrification projects across the Norwegian Continental Shelf. Successful commencement of its total project pipeline could see the company electrifying over 35% of its total oil and gas production base by 2025 through power from shore, according to GlobalData, a leading data and analytics company.

　　Daniel Rogers, senior oil and gas analyst at GlobalData comments “Upstream oil and gas operators are under ever-growing pressure from governments, shareholders and financial institutes to curb emissions and reduce carbon footprints. Field electrification is an effective way to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from production operations. By replacing traditional gas and diesel burning turbines for power generation and connecting to the Norwegian electricity grid, Norwegian operators can significantly curb their emissions.

　　“Of the active offshore electrification projects that Equinor is involved in, Troll and Johan Sverdrup have avoided the largest emission volumes through electrification at over 600,000 tons of CO2 per year each. Equinor is aggressively expanding its electrification efforts through the Utsira High project, which entails electrification of offshore fields Gina Krog, Edvard Grieg and Ivar Aasen, as well as partial electrification of Sleipner and Gudrun. The project is estimated to reduce emissions of over one million tons of CO2 per year.”

　　“Equinor is a clear leader in field electrification with a number of its major operated developments already being powered/partially powered from shore and a strong pipeline of projects that will boost its electrified production base to be the largest in the region. Elsewhere in Norway, the likes of Lundin Energy may not produce volumes on the scale of Equinor but it is on track to electrify over 90% of its total production base in the region by 2025. While small local player OKEA currently has 50% of its production stream electrified, by 2025 the company could have an entirely electrified production base if announced electrification efforts go forward.”

　　Upstream operators have expressed interest in electrifying over 20 oil and gas fields either active or upcoming across the Norwegian continental shelf, and recent CO2 tax hikes implemented will likely encourage further electrification efforts – particularly at emissions-intensive operations. For new developments, despite greater upfront investment, lowered operating costs and improved production efficiency over the longer term can make field electrification economically viable.

　　Rogers concludes: “The interconnection of Norway’s renewable-fuelled electricity grid and its offshore petroleum operations allow for more efficient oil and gas production with a lowered carbon footprint. Offshore electrification efforts will likely contribute to faster growth of renewables, advances in offshore renewable technology, expansion of offshore transmission infrastructure and enable partnerships between oil and gas and renewable power players. As a result, steps being made in Norway should foster efforts across the industry to achieve improved efficiency and lower emissions.”
