据道琼斯伦敦8月18日消息,英国政府周二表示,政府将在首轮陆上油气许可证招标活动中向企业提供27个许可证,这是在过去七年中英国首轮陆上油气许可证招标活动。这也是英国在担忧对于能源进口依赖度日益增加的情况下开发页岩气储藏作出的最新努力。
第二批132个区块还将进一步评估以确定在栖息地保护法规下是否适合于开发。所有提供区块的许可证将在今年底授出。

DJ UK Govt Offers Companies 27 Onshore Oil and Gas Blocks, Including Shale Prospects
By Selina Williams
LONDON--The U.K. government said Tuesday that it will offer 27 licenses to companies in the first onshore oil and gas licensing round in seven years--the latest step in efforts to unlock shale gas reserves amid worries over increasing dependence on energy imports.
A second group of 132 further blocks will be subject to further consultation to see if they are suitable under conservation of habitat regulations. The licenses for all offered blocks will be awarded later this year.
