Equinor 发言人表示,挪威海 Njord A 石油和天然气平台的运营因石油泄漏而暂停,将于 4 月 18 日恢复正常水平。

该发言人表示,在发现漏油量不足 200 升(很可能来自取样柜)后,该平台已于 4 月 17 日减压并停止生产。

据挪威天然气管道系统运营商 Gassco 称,此次停电导致天然气供应量每天减少 560 万立方米。

Njord 油田的产量于 2016 年停止,但在升级后于 12 月恢复生产,使生产能够持续到 2040 年,与附近的 Bauge 和 Fenja 油田持平。

来自油田的天然气被送往卡尔斯托码头,而石油首先被送往储存船,然后通过油轮运往市场。

Equinior 是 Njord 的运营商,持有 Njord 27.5% 的股权,Wintershall Dea 持有 50%,Neptune Energy 持有剩余的 22.5%。

Norwegian Oil and Gas Platform to Resume Operations After Spill

Operations at the Njord A oil and gas platform in the Norwegian Sea will resume on April 18 after an oil leak was found on April 17 of less than 200 liters.

Operations at the Njord A oil and gas platform in the Norwegian Sea will resume at normal levels on April 18 after being halted because of an oil leak, a spokesperson for operator Equinor said.

The platform had been depressurized and production shut down on April 17 after discovery of an oil leak of less than 200 liters that is likely to have come from a sampling cabinet, the spokesperson said.

The outage has cut gas supplies by 5.6 million cubic meters per day, according to Norway's gas pipeline system operator Gassco.

Output from the Njord field stopped in 2016 but resumed in December after upgrades to allow production to continue until 2040, tying in the nearby Bauge and Fenja fields.

Gas from the field is sent to the Kaarstoe terminal while oil is first sent to a storage vessel and then by tankers to the market.

Equnior is the operator and holds a 27.5% ownership stake in Njord, with Wintershall Dea owning 50% and Neptune Energy the remaining 22.5%.
