OPEC：北海石油将是全球能源供应的重要部分

中国石化新闻网讯 据6月11日Neftegaz.RU.苏格兰报道，OPEC秘书长穆罕默德?巴尔金都(Mohammed Barkindo)表示，尽管其它能源市场有所增长，但世界将继续“吞噬”北海石油。

Barkindo表示，到2040年，石油和天然气将继续占全球能源需求的50%，其中北海石油是这个比例中的一个重要部分。

在英国邓迪大学(Dundee University)的年度能源论坛上，他表示:“尽管偶尔会出现波动、受到挑战或是炒作，但世界将继续“吞噬”北海石油。我们在北海，特别是在苏格兰，我们所看到的是正确的道路。不仅满足目前的需求，而且要满足中长期的需求。碳氢化合物的前景依然光明，数据和迹象都证明了这一点。”

Barkindo还指出，尽管他“赞扬”苏格兰在能源多样化方面所做的努力，但据OPEC的数据显示，到2040年，可再生能源将只占10%。

他补充道，对替代能源的投资是必要的。他说:“我们都将继续依赖化石燃料，但我们承认，未来我们需要所有这些可再生和不可再生能源。这就是为什么我们没有仅仅投资于勘探和生产，还投资于其他资源——如果我们不这样做，我们就会搬起石头砸自己的脚。”

OPEC Chief: World will continue to ‘gulp’ North Sea oil

The world will continue to “gulp” North Sea oil despite the growth of other energy markets, according to the OPEC chief Mohammed Barkindo.

Barkindo said that leading up to 2040 oil & gas will continue to account for 50% of the energy need worldwide, with North Sea oil an important part of that percentage.

Speaking at Dundee University’s annual Energy Forum, he said: “Despite all the occasional volatility and the challenges and the hype, the world will continue to gulp North Sea oil.

“What we’ve seeing in the North Sea, in particular here in Scotland, is the right path, not only in meeting current demand but also in the medium to long term. The future of hydrocarbons remains bright.The data and the signs support this."

Barkindo said that while he “commends Scotland” for its efforts in energy diversification, he said that OPEC figures show that renewables will still only account for 10% by 2040.

But added that investment in alternative energy sources was necessary. He said: “We will all continue to rely upon fossil fuels, but we do acknowledge that going forward we need all these sources of energy. That’s why we have not totally invested in just exploration and production, but also in these other sources – if we didn’t we’d be shooting ourselves in the foot.”
