據(jù)油價網(wǎng)8月23日消息稱，挪威能源部長周二表示，在未來十年中，挪威將繼續(xù)以目前的高水平生產天然氣。

能源部長Terje Aasland在接受路透社采訪時表示，為了保持高水平的天然氣產量，該國批準了運營商提出的增加幾個氣田產量的申請。

根據(jù)5月份的預測，挪威計劃今年生產1220億立方米天然氣，比去年增長8%，今年天然氣出口可能創(chuàng)下新紀錄。挪威的天然氣產量今年也可能創(chuàng)下新紀錄。

挪威為歐盟和英國提供了所需天然氣供應的20%-25%，預計今年通過管道向歐洲銷售的天然氣將創(chuàng)紀錄，并成為歐盟最大的天然氣供應國。

在增加產量和出口的計劃出臺之際，挪威對長期需求支持的信心增強。與此同時，由于供應緊張，歐盟天然氣價格飆升，今年冬天的供應前景仍然令人懷疑。

Norway To Maintain High Gas Production Through End Of Decade

Norway will continue to produce natural gas at the current high levels for the remainder of the decade, Norway's energy minister said on Tuesday.

To maintain that high level of natural gas production, the country has approved applications from operators to increase production from several gas fields, energy minister Terje Aasland told Reuters in an interview.

Norway is planning on producing 122 billion cubic meters of gas this year, according to May forecasts, up 8% from last year, with nat gas exports likely setting a new record this year. Norway's gas production could also set a new record this year.

Norway, which supplies the EU and UK with 20%-25% of their needed gas supplies, is expecting record natural gas sales via pipelines to Europe this year and to become the EU's biggest gas supplier.

The plans for increased production and exports come as Norway gains confidence in longer-term demand support. It also comes as nat gas prices spiked in the EU as supplies are tight and this winter's supply outlook remains questionable.
