-- 英国に拠点を置くハーバー・エナジー社は木曜日、2026年第1四半期の生産量が日量50万バレル相当(boepd)に増加したと発表した。これは前年同期の50万boepdから増加したもので、ノルウェーでの好調な生産実績と複数の地域で稼働を開始した新規プロジェクトが寄与した。 英国に拠点を置く独立系石油・ガス生産会社である同社は、同四半期の生産構成比は液体燃料40%、欧州産ガス40%、その他のガス20%だったと述べた。 同社は、特にノルウェーにおける国際ポートフォリオからの生産量増加が、英国での減少と、2月11日に予定より早く完了したベトナムでの資産売却の影響を相殺したと説明した。 ハーバー社は、ノルウェーの主要拠点における高い操業信頼性、最新のニョルド油田からの力強い生産、そして同社が操業するギョア衛星油田における堅調な油層生産が、好調な生産実績の主な要因であると指摘した。 同社はまた、米国、ノルウェー、アルゼンチン、エジプトで新たなプロジェクトと油井の稼働を開始しました。 第1四半期の単位操業コストは、前年同期の1バレル当たり13ドルから12.80ドルに改善しました。 ハーバー社は、通期生産量見通しを従来の47万5000~50万バレル相当日(boepd)から48万~50万boepdに上方修正しました。これは、英国とノルウェーで計画されているメンテナンスプログラムに先立ち、4月に52万boepdの生産量を達成するなど、年初来の好調な業績を反映したものです。
