据世界石油网站9月14日报道 英国石油和天然气管理局（OGA）公布了截至2019年底的英国油气储量和资源，提供了对英国大陆架剩余可开采石油资源的估计。报告估计，石油当量仍在100-200亿桶之间，包括已发现和未发现的石油资源。
政府的官方预测表明，在可预见的未来，随着我们向零排放的过渡，石油和天然气仍将是我们能源结构中重要和关键的部分。
管理盆地不断下降的产量，以最大限度地提高英国石油公司的价值，对于满足英国的能源需求以及减少对进口和相关碳足迹的依赖，仍然至关重要。英国石油天然气管理局认为，最大限度地恢复英国剩余石油和天然气的经济复苏不必与能源转型相冲突，该行业拥有帮助英国实现净零排放所需解决方案的技能、技术和资本。

UK projects up to 20 billion barrels of oil remain to be found offshore
The Oil and Gas Authority (OGA) has published the UK Oil and Gas Reserves and Resources as at end 2019. It provides an estimate of the UK Continental Shelf’s remaining recoverable petroleum resources. The report estimates that there remains in the range 10 to 20 billion barrels or more of oil equivalent, including discovered and undiscovered petroleum resources.
Official government forecasts suggest that oil and gas will remain an important and critical part of our energy mix for the foreseeable future, as we transition to net zero.
Managing the basin’s declining production to maximize value from the UKCS is still vital to meet our energy demands as long as they exist, as well as reducing reliance on imports and their associated carbon footprint. The OGA believes that maximizing the economic recovery of the UK’s remaining oil and gas need not be in conflict with the energy transition and that the industry has the skills, technology and capital to help unlock the solutions required to help the UK achieve net zero.
