埃尼把北极戈里亚特油田投产时间推迟到明年年初

据路透社12月22日奥斯陆报道，意大利石油巨头埃尼公司22日在米兰表示，该公司预计其位于挪威北部海上的戈里亚特油田晚于先前预测，在2016年年初生产出第一批石油。

来自世界最北端生产油田戈里亚特油田的产量预计达到年产3400万桶石油的峰值。

埃尼公司在一份电子邮件中对路透社说：“我们时下正在接近生产启动并预见准备在明年的第一周内生产出第一批石油。”

埃尼公司在9月份曾表示，在开发这个油田过程中经过数次推迟以后，该公司预计在今年年底前开始石油生产。

戈里亚特油田的开发计划早在2009年就已获得挪威当局的批准，然而，开发这个大油田的成本已从2009年看到的大约300亿挪威克朗原始估计数大幅增加到了467亿挪威克朗（54.7亿美元）。

担任作业者的埃尼公司拥有这个油田的65%股份，其合作伙伴挪威国家石油公司拥有剩余35%的股份。

ENI Delays First Oil from Arctic Goliat Field to Early 2016

Tuesday, December 22, 2015

OSLO- Italian oil company ENI now expects first production from its Goliat field offshore northern Norway at the beginning of 2016, later than previously expected, the company said on Tuesday.

Due to become the world's most northerly producing oilfield, output from the field is due to peak at some 34 million barrels of oil per year.

"We are coming close to production start-up and foresee readiness for first oil in the first weeks of 2016," the company told Reuters in an email.

The company said in September it expected oil production to start by the end of this year after several delays in developing the field.

The cost of Goliat has so far surged to 46.7 billion crowns ($5.47 billion) from an original estimate of around 30 billion seen in 2009, when the development plan was approved by the authorities.

ENI has a 65-percent stake in the field, where it is operator, with Statoil holding the remaining 35 percent.
