英国油气管理局披露潜在碳氢储存点地震数据

据世界天然气网站9月15日消息 英国石油和天然气管理局（OGA）将披露重要的历史地震数据，帮助勘探者和开发人员发现北海潜在的碳和氢储存点。

经过2019年的磋商，OGA决定根据勘探许可证提供10年或15年以上的地震数据，具体取决于数据类型。

为此，OGA正在发布指南，其中概述了2018年前根据勘探许可证创建或获取地球物理调查数据的发布条件。

类似指南涵盖了近期和未来地球物理调查数据（即2017年后创建或获得的数据）的发布。

OGA运营总监Scott Robertson表示：“在通过国家发改委成功披露其他数据的基础上，OGA就地震数据的报告和披露进行了广泛的磋商。”

“这些额外的数据对于探险商和开发商来说，在实现MER UK目标方面以及通过确定对英国实现2050年及以后减排目标至关重要的潜在碳和氢储存点，支持零排放的未来极为重要。”

“我们预计，将公布的遗留数据的重新加工和再加工将显著增加，此类分析所确定的机会将导致活动，为工业、更广泛的英国经济以及英国向净零未来过渡带来实际利益。”

UK: OGA seismic data for potential carbon and hydrogen storage sites

Oil and Gas Authority UK (OGA) will disclose ‘vital’ historic seismic data that could help explorers and developers spot potential carbon and hydrogen storage sites in the North Sea.

Following consultation in 2019, the OGA has decided to make seismic data available, under an exploration licence and which are more than 10 or 15 years old, depending on the type of data.

For the purpose of this, the OGA is publishing guidance which outlines the publishing conditions under which geophysical survey data created or acquired under an exploration licence pre-2018

A similar guidance covers the publication of more recent, and future, geophysical survey data (i.e. those created or acquired post-2017).

Scott Robertson, OGA director of operations, said:

“The OGA has consulted extensively on the reporting and disclosure of seismic data, building on the success of disclosure of other data via the NDR.

“These additional data will be extremely valuable to explorers and developers in meeting MER UK goals, and in supporting a net zero future by identifying potential carbon and hydrogen storage sites that are vital for the UK to meet its emissions abatement targets for 2050 and beyond.

“We expect to see a significant increase in the reworking and reprocessing of the legacy data which will be published and the opportunities identified by such analysis will lead to activity that should bring real benefits to industry, the wider UK economy and the UK’s transition to a net zero future.”
