據鉆機地帶4月6日消息稱，蘇格蘭首席統計師最近宣布的最新統計數據顯示，從2018年到2019年，蘇格蘭的石油和天然氣產量下降。

據估計，蘇格蘭(包括蘇格蘭附近海域)2019年的石油產量為7400萬噸油當量，比2018年下降了3.9%。2019年的產量為7400萬噸，占英國總產量的78%。

2018年至2019年，原油和天然氣液體產量增加了2.3%，達到5400萬噸油當量。據稱這是自2010年以來的最高水平，但這一數字被天然氣下降17.4％所抵消，至2000萬噸油當量。

2019年，蘇格蘭生產的石油和天然氣的銷售價值估計為305億美元(220億英鎊)。蘇格蘭政府指出，由于產量下降和油氣價格下降，與2018年相比，這一數字下降了13.7%。不包括退役在內的運營支出增加到102億美元(74億英鎊)，蘇格蘭鄰近海域的資本支出增加到84億美元(61億英鎊)。

蘇格蘭指出，其石油和天然氣統計數據與英國商業、能源和工業戰略部(BEIS)和石油和天然氣管理局(OGA)發布的英國石油和天然氣總產量、收入和支出信息一致。蘇格蘭強調，對蘇格蘭的估算是基于位于蘇格蘭或鄰近海域的每個油氣田的生產數據。

Scottish Oil and Gas Production Decreases

Oil and gas production in Scotland decreased from 2018 to 2019, according to new statistics announced recently by Scotland’s chief statistician.

Production in Scotland, including Scottish adjacent waters, is estimated to have been 74 million tons of oil equivalent in 2019, which marked a decrease of 3.9 percent compared to 2018. The 2019 figure of 74 million tons accounted for 78 percent of total UK production.

The production of crude oil and natural gas liquids increased by 2.3 percent to 54 million tons of oil equivalent from 2018 to 2019. The figure, which was said to be the highest level since 2010, was offset by a fall of 17.4 percent in natural gas production, to 20 million tons of oil equivalent.

The approximate sales value of oil and gas produced in Scotland is estimated to have been $30.5 billion (GBP 22 billion) in 2019. This number has fallen 13.7 percent compared to 2018 due to a combination of declining production and a reduction in oil and gas prices, the Scottish government noted. Operating expenditure, not including decommissioning, increased to $10.2 billion (GBP 7.4 billion) and capital expenditure in Scottish adjacent waters increased to $8.4 billion (GBP 6.1 billion).

The Scottish government noted that its oil and gas statistics are consistent with information published by the UK Department for Business, Energy, and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) and the Oil and Gas Authority (OGA) for total UK oil and gas production, income, and expenditure. Estimates for Scotland are based on production data for each individual oil and gas field which is located in Scotland or Scottish adjacent waters, the Scottish government highlighted.
