據世界石油網站7月17日報道 2020年上半年，挪威大陸架的活動受疫情影響，活動受到限制，需求下降、油價下跌。

今年春天，基于石油市場的特殊情況，挪威政府決定從6月起并在今年剩余時間內削減石油產量，以促進石油市場的快速穩定，而不是僅僅依靠市場機制就能確保。

總干事英格麗德·瑟爾伯格表示：“在挪威大陸架，長期的高價值創造仍然有其基礎。這些決定有助于穩定一個非同尋常且要求苛刻的局勢。這一暫時性的變化將有助于維持高活動水平，與我們在大流行和油價下跌之前所預測的水平持平。”

在對《石油稅法案》的臨時修改作出澄清后，已向當局提交了兩份開發和運營計劃，以供批準。這些是Sleipner的部分電氣化和Hod的再開發。同樣令人鼓舞的是，Krafla/Askja地區的合作伙伴已就開發這里的資源的計劃達成一致。

“與此同時，我們注意到，勘探活動有所下降，今年的勘探活動將低于1月份的預期。然而，我們發現，這些公司并沒有取消探井，而是推遲到明年。”

Norway’s offshore oil and gas activity accelerating in 2H 2020

In the first half of 2020, activity on the Norwegian shelf has been characterized by the coronavirus situation with restrictions on activity, a drop in demand and a declining oil price.

This spring, based on the extraordinary situation in the oil market, the Norwegian government decided to cut oil production as of June and through the rest of the year to contribute toward more rapid stabilization of the oil market than what the market mechanism alone would have ensured.

"There is still a basis for high, long-term value creation on the Norwegian shelf. The political decisions have helped stabilize an extraordinary and demanding situation. The temporary change will contribute to a continued high activity level, on par with what we forecasted before the pandemic and the drop in the oil price," Director General Ingrid S?lvberg says.

Following a clarification of the temporary change in the Petroleum Tax Act, two plans for development and operation have been submitted to the authorities for approval. These are the partial electrification of Sleipner and Hod re-development. It is also encouraging that the partners in the Krafla/Askja area have agreed on plans to develop the resources here.

"At the same time, we have noted that exploration activity has declined and will be lower this year than we presumed in January. However, we are experiencing that the companies are not cancelling exploration wells, but rather postponing them until next year," says S?lvberg.
