全球未来3年油气行业退役成本将达到创纪录360亿美元

据钻机地带2019年2月25日奥斯陆报道，挪威著名能源研究和商业情报公司雷斯塔能源公司（雷斯塔能源/Rystad energy）说，未来三年全球油气行业退役总成本将达到创纪录的360亿美元。

雷斯塔能源预计，从2019年到2021年，全球油气行业的退役成本平均每年将达到120亿美元左右，其中大部分支出将来自欧洲和亚洲。

雷斯塔能源的统计数据显示，去年全球油气行业退役成本为117亿美元，2017年为55亿美元，2016年为69亿美元。

雷斯塔能源的合伙人Audun Martinsen在一份公司声明中表示：“去年全球油气行业退役成本为历史最高水平，但未来几年将打破这一最高纪录。”

Martinsen补充称：“考虑到这一点，未来三年内，全球油气行业在量级上在巴伦支海将面临总共6个约翰卡斯特伯格大油田开发项目的退役义务。”

据Wood Mackenzie去年7月的一份报告显示，未来10年，全球范围内的油气设备退役项目将花费1050亿美元。

该报告称，WoodMackenzie预计在2018年至2022年间，全球的油气设备退役支出将达到320亿美元。报告称，未来十年退役支出最高的三个国家将分别是英国、美国和挪威。报告称，未来10年，英国将花费近300亿美元用于油气设备的退役。

据英国油气行业协会11月发布的一份报告，英国预计将在未来10年投入195亿美元(约合153亿英镑)用于油气设备退役。

Global Decom Costs Set to Hit New Record

Global decommissioning costs are set to hit a record $36 billion over the next three years, according to Rystad Energy.

The company projects decommissioning obligations in the global oil and gas sector to come in at an average of about $12 billion per year from 2019 to 2021, with the bulk of the spend stemming from Europe and Asia.

Global decommissioning costs were $11.7 billion in 2018, $5.5 billion in 2017 and $6.9 billion in 2016, according to Rystad Energy.

“2018 was an all-time high, and the next years are set to break this record,” Rystad Energy Partner Audun Martinsen said in a company statement.

“To put this into context, the global oil and gas industry is facing total decommissioning obligations in the magnitude of six Johan Castberg field development projects in the Barents Sea within the next three years,” Martinsen added.

According to a report from Wood Mackenzie (WoodMac) back in July last year, up to $105 billion could be spent on decommissioning worldwide over the next decade.

The report, which stated that WoodMac expects $32 billion to be spent on decommissioning around the world between 2018 and 2022, said the top three largest decommissioning spenders in the next ten years would be the UK, the United States and Norway, respectively. The report said the UK will spend almost $30 billion on decommissioning in the next 10 years.

According to a report from industry body Oil & Gas UK released in November, the UK is expected to spend $19.5 billion (GBP 15.3 billion) on decommissioning over the next decade.
