挪威石油公司上调今明两年的投资预测 热点评

中国石化新闻网讯 据离岸能源网站5月25日报道，根据挪威国家统计局(SSB)周四的一项调查显示，成本通胀导致挪威油气公司上调了2023年和2024年的投资预测。

SSB表示，该国最大的商业部门预计2023年将投资1978亿挪威克朗（约合188.6亿美元），高于2月份预测的1878亿挪威克朗。并补充道，(自上次调查以来)没有新项目，所以增加的是现有的领域……估计数的增加部分与许多投资品价格的上涨有关。

根据官方统计数据显示，第一季度石油行业的投资成本同比增长8.1%。SSB还表示，挪威克朗对美元和欧元的走弱加强了以克朗计价的价格上涨。

各石油公司还将明年的投资预期从2月份最初估计的1786亿克朗上调至1819亿克朗。只有当公司向当局提交开发和运营计划(PDO)时，新海上油田的支出才会包括在调查中。

各石油公司赶在2022年底前批准新项目，当时挪威支持海上投资的临时税收优惠政策将到期。

SSB表示，由于预计未来几年将交付的新项目很少，因此应谨慎解读2024年的预期增长。

Norway Oil Firms Raise 2023 and 2024 Investment Forecasts Due to Cost Inflation

Cost inflation has led Norwegian oil and gas companies to increase their investment forecasts for 2023 and 2024, a national statistics office (SSB) survey showed on Thursday.

The country"s biggest business sector expects to invest 197.8 billion Norwegian crowns ($18.86 billion) in 2023, up from a forecast of 187.8 billion made in February, SSB said.

"There have been no new projects (added since the previous survey), so the increase is in already existing fields... Some of the increase in the estimate is related to the growth in the prices of many investment goods," SSB added.

Official statistics showed investment costs in the petroleum sector increasing by 8.1% in the first quarter from a year earlier. SSB also said the weakening of the Norwegian crown against U.S. dollar and euro had reinforced price increase measured in crowns.

Oil companies also raised their investment forecast for next year to 181.9 billion crowns, from an initial estimate of 178.6 billion in February. Spending on new offshore fields is only included in the survey when companies submit plans for development and operation (PDO) to the authorities.

Oil companies rushed to approve new projects by the end of 2022, when Norway"s temporary tax incentives to support offshore investments expired.

Since few new projects are expected to be delivered in the next couple of years, the indicated growth estimated for 2024 should be interpreted with caution, SSB said.
