據(jù)美國油價網(wǎng)2022年6月10日報道，英國最大的能源公司、英國天然氣公司的母公司森特里卡公司日前向英國政府有關(guān)部門提交了一份正式申請，希望重新開放英國最大的天然氣儲存庫，該儲氣庫5年前因“經(jīng)濟”原因被關(guān)閉。

這家總部位于溫莎的英國公用事業(yè)巨頭已經(jīng)向英國北海能源監(jiān)管機構(gòu)提交了正式申請，希望重新開放位于約克郡東海岸以外海域的Rough天然氣儲存設(shè)施。

森特里卡公司曾在2017年關(guān)閉了這個英國最大的天然氣儲存設(shè)施，原因是英國政府拒絕補貼維修這個北海設(shè)施所需的費用。  

英國政府正在推進增加英國天然氣儲備量的計劃，以期在即將到來的寒冷冬季之前減少能源危機的影響。  

由于疫情以及軍事沖突導(dǎo)致全球天然氣需求反彈，近幾個月來，全球天然氣價格飆升，天然氣供不應(yīng)求。

Rough天然氣儲存設(shè)施包含一個已枯竭的天然氣田，該氣田位于海床以下2.7公里處，距離約克郡海岸18英里。

Centrica Looks To Reopen Britain’s Biggest Natural Gas Facility

Centrica has filed a formal application to reopen Britain’s biggest natural gas storage site after the site was closed five years ago for “economic” reasons.

The Windsor-headquartered utility company has submitted a formal application to the North Sea energy regulator to reopen the Rough facility off the east coast of Yorkshire.

Centrica previously closed its gas storage facility in 2017, after the government refused to subsidise the cost of repairs to the North Sea facility.

The application comes as the government pushes forwards with plans to increase the UK’s gas storage capacity as a means of limiting the impacts of the energy crisis ahead of the coming winter.

The plans come as global natural gas prices have soared in recent months as demand has outstripped supply, due to rebounding global demand following Covid and the war

The Rough facility consists of a depleted natural gas field, which lies 2.7km below the seabed, 18 miles off the coast of Yorkshire.
