据路透社2019年11月11日奥斯陆报道，挪威著名石油和天然气公司阿克尔BP(Aker BP)周一在奥斯陆表示，该公司将加快启动位于挪威海的阿尔夫格尔（Aerfugl）天然气田的生产。
令人意外的是，阿克尔BP现在计划在2020年上半年启动Aerfugl气田的天然气生产，比其最初宣传的第二阶段提前了3年。
这个投资80亿挪威克朗(约合8.75亿美元)的项目的合作伙伴包括阿克尔BP、挪威Equinor、德国Wintershall DEA和波兰PGNiG。
阿克尔BP在一份声明中表示，原计划的第一阶段(现在排在第二)将于2020年第4季度投产。
阿克尔BP补充称，Aerfugl气田是挪威沿海最赚钱的开发项目之一，其盈亏平衡点在每桶油当量15美元左右。
位于挪威海的这个气田拥有大约3亿桶油当量的储量，这个气田生产的天然气将通过一艘浮式产油储油卸油船(FPSO)进行处理，这艘浮式产油储油卸油船已在附近的斯卡夫油田就位。
阿克尔BP表示，提前启动Aerfugl气田是通过修改FPSO来提高其天然气处理能力。

Aker BP plans early startup at Norway’s Aerfugl gas field
Oil and gas firm Aker BP will accelerate the startup of production from Norway’s Aerfugl natural gas field, the company said In a surprise move, the company now plans to start Aerfugl production in the first half of 2020, three years ahead of what had originally been billed as the field’s second phase.
Partners in the 8 billion Norwegian crown ($875 million) project are Aker BP, Equinor, Wintershall DEA and PGNiG.
The original first phase of development, which now comes second, is meanwhile The Aerfugl field is among the most profitable development projects off the coast of Norway, with a break-even price of around $15 per barrel of oil equivalent, it added.
The Norwegian Sea reservoir, containing some 300 million barrels of oil equivalent, will be processed via a floating production, storage and offloading (FPSO) vessel that is already in place at the nearby Skarv field.
The early startup was made possible by modifying the FPSO to boost its gas processing capacity, Aker BP said.
