據7月21日Kallanish Energy報道，2020年獲批的全球石油和天然氣項目數量將比去年下降75%。Rystad Energy上周五公布的數據顯示，全球獲批的石油和天然氣項目總額預計約為4700萬美元。Rystad認為，導致這一數字下降的主要因素是疫情的爆發，這大大減緩了2020年的項目投資。

今年迄今為止，承諾項目總計價值290億美元，其中海上項目占55%(160億美元)，陸上項目占45%(130億美元)。相比之下，2019年批準的項目總額達到1970億美元，其中1090億美元用于海上項目，880億美元用于陸上項目。

Rystad能源服務分析師Karan Satwani表示:“預計2020年的承諾項目將與2019年持平，但由于新冠肺炎導致行業低迷，以致于批準項目大幅下降。展望未來，獲批項目力度不會再次加大，也不會很快恢復到2019年的水平。”

Rystad表示，如果沒有俄羅斯和挪威最近批準的項目，2020年的全球投資總額將會大大降低。這些投資包括俄羅斯天然氣工業股份公司的Kamennomysskoye-More項目和Semakovskoye油田的開發，以及Equinor在挪威的Breidablikk油田的開發。

Global oil and gas project sanctioning to fall 75% in 2020: Rystad Energy

New analysis has found that global oil and gas project sanctioning is due to fall by 75% in 2020 compared to last year, Kallanish Energy reports.

Figures published by Rystad Energy last Friday show that sanctioning of global oil and gas projects is expected to total approximately $47 million. This represents a 75% year-on-year decrease on project sanctioning recorded in 2019.

The primary factor behind the drop according to Rystad is the global Covid-19 pandemic, which has significantly slowed project investments in 2020.

To date this year, committed projects are valued at a combined $29 billion, with offshore projects accounting for 55% ($16 billion) and 45% ($13 billion) going towards onshore projects.

In comparison, total sanctioning value reached $197 billion in 2019, with $109 billion going to offshore projects and $88 billion to onshore projects.

“At the beginning of this year, the project commitments forecast for 2020 were expected to be comparable to 2019, but the industry downturn thanks to Covid-19 has caused commitments to fall sharply,” said Karan Satwani, energy service analyst at Rystad Energy.

“Going forward, Rystad Energy estimates that sanctioning will not pick up again and recover to 2019 levels anytime soon.”

Rystad states that the global total for 2020 would be considerably lower without recent projects sanctioned in Russia and Norway. These include investments in the Kamennomysskoye-More project and Semakovskoye field development by Russian major Gazprom and Equinor’s Breidablikk development in Norway.
