据OE网站8月18日报道，根据挪威国家统计局（SSB）周四公布的一项调查显示，挪威油气公司提高了对2022年和2023年的投资预测，因为他们计划勘探更多并开发新项目。

据国家统计局表示，该国最大的商业部门现在预计2022年投资1728亿挪威克朗（约合177亿美元），高于5月份预测的1672亿挪威克朗。明年的投资预计为1353亿挪威克朗，高于之前的1306亿挪威克朗，但随着公司计划在今年年底前批准更多项目，这一数字有望增加。

只有当企业向当局提交开发和运营（PDO）计划时，新海上油田的支出才会被纳入调查范围。

挪威对新开发项目投资的临时税收优惠将于今年年底到期，SSB表示，预计届时将有“大量”新的PDO，包括Equinor的Wisting和Aker BP的NOAKA和King Lear运营计划。

如果预期项目的时间表保持不变，2023年油田开发的投资将大大高于目前调查中包含的数字。

Norway's Oil and Gas Firms Raise Spending Forecasts

Norway's oil and gas firms have raised their investment forecasts for 2022 and 2023 as they plan to explore more and develop new projects, a national statistics office (SSB) survey showed on Thursday.

The country's biggest business sector now expects to invest 172.8 billion Norwegian crowns ($17.7 billion) in 2022, up from a forecast of 167.2 billion made in May, the SSB said.

Next year's investments are seen at 135.3 billion crowns, up from a previous view of 130.6 billion, but the figure is expected to increase as companies plan to approve more projects by the end of this year, it added.

Spending on new offshore fields is only included in the survey when companies submit plans for development and operation (PDO) to the authorities. 

Norway's temporary tax incentives for investment into new developments expire by the end of this year, and SSB said it expected "a very high number" of new PDOs by then, including Equinor's Wisting and Aker BP's NOAKA and King Lear. 

"If the schedules for the expected projects are maintained, there will be significantly higher investments in field development in 2023 than what is currently included in the survey," it added.
