挪威提议在巴伦支海进行石油勘探

据哈特能源3月30日消息，挪威曾在3月30日提议，向石油公司提供36个海上勘探区块，在成熟地区进行年度许可，但这是10年来首次不包括北极巴伦支海的任何面积。

能源部于3月30日宣布了这一计划。它们表示，尽管环境具有挑战性，但对未来进行规划仍然很重要。不过，投标的拟议区块数目较一年前的90个减少，其中政府最终批出69个。

挪威石油和能源部表示，所有区块都位于挪威海西部，有兴趣的各方应在5月11日之前的公开听证会上提交意见。

Norway Proposes Oil Exploration Blocks, None in Barents Sea

Norway proposed on March 30 offering oil firms 36 offshore exploration blocks in an annual licensing round in mature areas, but for the first time in a decade it didn’t include any acreage in the Arctic Barents Sea.

The energy ministry, announcing the plan on March 30, said it was still important to plan for the future despite the challenging environment, which has oil prices slump. However, the proposed number of blocks on offer was down from 90 blocks proposed in the previous round a year ago, of which the government eventually awarded 69 blocks.

All the blocks are offered in the western part of the Norwegian Sea, with interested parties asked to submit comments in a public hearing by May 11, the oil and energy ministry said.
