据Rigzone网站2019年5月13日伦敦报道，根据全球数据公司（Global Data）的最新统计数据，荷兰皇家壳牌公司在英国的油气开发项目中将承担英国运营商中最大的报废和退役费用（ABEX）责任。
Global Data透露，该公司估计有超过30亿美元的ABEX债务将放弃在英国的生产领域，并计划到2025年将花费15亿美元。GlobalData强调，这主要是受布伦特油田的推动，但也与皮尔斯(Pierce)和杓鹬(Curlew)油田等老龄化开发项目的支出有关。
Global Data上游油气分析师Daniel Rogers在一份公司声明中称，"仅布伦特油田的堵漏和废弃总支出就可能达到9亿美元，从2008年到2020年，将有超过150口油井投入使用。"
根据Global Data的最新研究，继壳牌之后，在英国生产油田有ABEX敞口最大的五家公司，分别是:
•阿帕齐公司
•道达尔公司
•埃克森美孚公司
•英国石油公司
根据英国油气行业组织去年11月的一份报告，预计英国将在未来10年花费195亿美元(153亿英镑)用于拆撤。报告显示，未来10年的支出比2017年的预测低近20%。
据Rystad Energy称，未来三年全球拆撤成本将达到创纪录的360亿美元。

Shell Set to Have Biggest UK Decom Costs
Royal Dutch Shell plc is set to have the largest abandonment and decommissioning expenditure (ABEX) liability of UK operators in producing UK oil and gas developments, according to GlobalData.
The company is estimated to have over $3 billion in ABEX liability to abandon producing fields in the UK and is set to spend as much as $1.5 billion by 2025, GlobalData revealed. This is driven mainly by the Brent oil field but also relates to expenditure in aging developments such as Pierce and Curlew, GlobalData highlighted.
“The total plug and abandonment expenditure alone for the Brent field could reach $900 million and spans from 2008 to 2020 with over 150 wells in total,” Daniel Rogers, upstream oil and gas analyst at GlobalData, said in a company statement.
Following Shell, the remaining top five companies with the greatest ABEX exposure from producing fields in the UK, according to GlobalData’s latest research, are:
· Apache Corp
· Total SA
· ExxonMobil Corp
· BP plc
According to a report from industry body Oil & Gas UK in November last year, the UK is expected to spend $19.5 billion (GBP 15.3 billion) Global decommissioning costs are set to hit a record $36 billion over the next three years, according to Rystad Energy.
