据路透社9月2日奥斯陆报道，挪威石油理事会周一表示，能源公司Equinor已获准在秋季启动其巨型北海Johan Sverdrup油田。

上周五，该公司通知石油市场参与者，这座22亿至32亿桶油田可能在10月份开始石油运输，比此前预期的要早。

一位贸易消息人士称，首个装货计划在10月份列出了11批货物，这意味着每天产量约为22.6万桶。

Equinor称，预计2020年夏季日产量将达到44万桶，一旦第二阶段于2022年末投产，日产量将进一步升至66万桶。

NPD称，2010年伦丁石油公司发现的斯维德鲁普油田(Sverdrup)是挪威外储量第三大的油田，预计未来40年将生产石油。

Equinor及其合作伙伴伦丁石油、Aker BP、道达尔和挪威国有企业Petoro估计，第一阶段的开发成本为830亿克朗(93亿美元)。

Norway grants Equinor permission to start Sverdrup oilfield in autumn

Energy firm Equinor has won permission to start its giant North Sea Johan Sverdrup oilfield in the autumn, the Norwegian Petroleum Directorate said on Monday.

On Friday the company notified oil market participants that the 2.2-3.2 billion barrel field could begin oil shipments in October, earlier than previously expected.

The first loading programme lists 11 cargoes in October, implying output of around 226,000 barrels per day (bpd), a trading source said.

Production is expected to hit 440,000 bpd in the summer of 2020 and should rise further to 660,000 bpd once the second phase comes on stream in late 2022, Equinor has said.

Sverdrup, discovered by Lundin Petroleum in 2010, is the third-largest field off Norway by reserves, and is expected to produce oil for the next 40 years, the NPD said.

Equinor and its partners Lundin, Aker BP, Total and Norwegian state-owned Petoro have estimated the first phase of development to cost 83 billion crowns ($9.3 billion).
