中國石化新聞網訊 據安迅思12月16日消息稱,今年迄今為止,印度海外油氣田的產量下降了11%,原因包括油田的自然減產、俄羅斯和阿聯為滿足歐佩克+減產承諾而減產,以及疫情導致的資本支出延遲。
今年4月至10月,石油產量從去年同期的1440萬噸油當量下降至1280萬噸油當量。同期,印度國內油氣產量也下降了9%。
印度國有石油天然氣公司的海外子公司ONGC Videsh在一封回復《經濟時報》詢問的電子郵件中表示:「主要來說,ONGC Videsh的一些大型國際項目受到了東道國政府作為OPEC+集團成員的影響,並遵守了商定的減產協議。由於這個因素,俄羅斯的Vankor、阿聯的Lower Zakum、亞塞拜然的ACG和南蘇丹的GPOC項目的生產受到影響。」
自然下降、蘇丹GNPOC退出、Covid-19對鑽井計劃的影響和資本支出活動的推遲;低油價導致的資本支出和運營支出的優化也影響了產量。
ONGC Videsh表示:「這些因素的綜合影響將約為200萬桶/天,這取決於下半年關鍵要素的變化。」 該公司2019-2020年的產量為1500萬桶石油當量,約佔印度企業海外油田總產量的60%。
Oil India、Indian Oil和巴拉特石油公司等其他國有企業也在海外投資了一些與ONGC類似的生產油田,同樣面臨著類似的挑戰。
ONGC Videsh在幾個國家擁有14個生產資產,但其年產量主要依賴俄羅斯。2018- 2019年,俄羅斯佔ONGC Videsh油氣產量的62%,越南佔10%。阿聯、緬甸和亞塞拜然各佔5%。

Indian companies' oil & gas output from overseas fields drops 11%
Output of Indian companies from overseas oil and gas fields has fallen 11 per cent so far this year on the natural decline in fields, production cuts by Russia and the UAE to meet OPEC plus supply reduction commitments, and pandemic-induced capex delays.
The output declined to 12.8 million metric tonnes of oil equivalent (mmtoe) during April-October this year from 14.4 mmtoe in the same period last year. India’s domestic production of oil and gas has also fallen 9 per cent in the same period.
「Principally, some major international projects of ONGC Videsh have been impacted by host governments being members of OPEC+ group of countries and complying to agreed-upon production cuts. Due to this factor, production has been affected at Vankor in Russia, Lower Zakum in UAE, ACG Azerbaijan and GPOC project in South Sudan,」 ONGC Videsh, the overseas arm of state-run Oil and Natural Gas Corp, said in an emailed response to ET’s query.
「Natural decline, exit from GNPOC in Sudan, Covid-19 impact on drilling schedule and deferment of capex activities; and optimization of Capex and Opex due to low oil price scenario」 were also affecting output, it said
「The combined impact of these factors would be about 2 mmtoe, depending on changes in key elements during the second half of the year,」 said ONGC Videsh, whose production of 15 mmtoe in 2019-20 was about 60 per cent of Indian companies』 total output from overseas fields.
Other state-run firms such as Oil India, Indian Oil, and Bharat Petroleum too have invested in some of the same producing fields abroad as ONGC and are facing similar challenges.
ONGC Videsh has 14 producing assets across several countries but depends predominantly on Russia for its annual output. In 2018-19, Russia contributed 62 per cent of ONGC Videsh’s oil and gas production while Vietnam accounted for a tenth. The UAE, Myanmar, and Azerbaijan made up 5 per cent each.
