據(jù)海上工程師網(wǎng)2022年8月31日倫敦報(bào)道，英國(guó)石油和天然氣監(jiān)管機(jī)構(gòu)周二在倫敦表示，,總部位于伯克希爾溫莎的英國(guó)跨國(guó)公用事業(yè)公司森特理克（Centrica）位于英格蘭東海岸以外海域的Rough天然氣儲(chǔ)存設(shè)施已獲得所有監(jiān)管部門的批準(zhǔn)，可以重新開始儲(chǔ)存天然氣。

歐洲各國(guó)一直在冬季來臨之前建立天然氣庫(kù)存，為天然氣供應(yīng)中斷做好準(zhǔn)備，但自2018年Rough天然氣儲(chǔ)存設(shè)施關(guān)閉以來，英國(guó)的天然氣存儲(chǔ)能力非常有限。

英國(guó)北海轉(zhuǎn)型管理局（NSTA）表示，NSTA已批準(zhǔn)和同意森特理克海上英國(guó)有限公司重新開放Rough天然氣儲(chǔ)存設(shè)施的第一階段儲(chǔ)氣。 

英國(guó)天然氣公司（BG）的母公司森特理克首席執(zhí)行官克里斯·奧謝7月份曾表示，該公司正在進(jìn)行必要的工程工作，以便使Rough天然氣儲(chǔ)存設(shè)施盡快重新開放。 

奧謝說，森特理克準(zhǔn)備在這個(gè)項(xiàng)目上投資20億英鎊（23.3億美元）。

Rough天然氣儲(chǔ)存設(shè)施此前提供了英國(guó)70%的天然氣儲(chǔ)存量。 

奧謝7月份曾說，如果Rough天然氣儲(chǔ)存設(shè)施在去年冬天開放，每年可以為英國(guó)家庭節(jié)省大約100英鎊的能源賬單。

UK Allows Centrica to Reopen Rough Gas Storage Facility

Centrica's Rough gas storage site off England's east coast has received all the regulatory approvals to start storing gas again, Britain's oil and gas regulator said on Tuesday.

Countries across Europe have been building gas stocks ahead of winter to prepare for disruptions to supply of Russian gas, but Britain has had very little storage capacity since Rough's closure in 2018.

Britain's North Sea Transition Authority (NSTA) said it had granted the required approvals and consents to Centrica Offshore UK Limited for Phase 1 of the Rough gas storage site.

Centrica's Chief Executive Chris O'Shea said last month the company was carrying out the necessary engineering work to enable the site to reopen. 

It would be prepared to invest 2 billion pounds ($2.33 billion) in the project, he said.

The Rough site previously provided about 70% of Britain's gas storage capacity. 

Had the site been open last winter, it could have saved households about 100 pounds on their annual energy bills, O'Shea said last month.
