北海最大未开发油田因设备坠海面临数月延误

英国最大未开发油气田Rosebank的生产计划因一场设备事故面临延误。14月18日，位于设得兰西北方约80英里的该油田钻井平台发生意外，两件关键钻探设备（包括安全阀）坠落至1100米深的海床。1运营公司Adura表示，钻井平台可能停运长达4个月。1

原定于2024年年底启动的生产计划现已推迟至2027年。1Rosebank油田预计可产300百万桶原油，产油期为25年。1同时，相邻的Jackdaw气田预计可在10月开始供气。1英国新任能源部长Miatta Fahnbulleh将在8月后就该油田前景做出决定。1

Production at the Rosebank oil field, Britain's largest undeveloped petroleum reserve, is facing a significant setback after critical drilling equipment accidentally fell into the North Sea on April 18, 2024 1. Two essential drilling tools, including a safety valve, plunged approximately 1,100 meters to the seafloor during the incident 1. Operator Adura now anticipates that production will be pushed back to 2027, rather than commencing by the end of 2024 as originally planned 1. The drilling platform is expected to remain out of operation for up to four months as a result of the accident 1.

The Rosebank field, located approximately 80 miles northwest of Shetland, is projected to yield around 300 million barrels of oil over a 25-year production period 1. The nearby Jackdaw gas field is expected to begin supplying gas in October 1. Britain's newly appointed Energy Secretary Miatta Fahnbulleh is scheduled to make a decision on the future of the Rosebank project after August 1.
