據世界天然氣網站9月15日消息 英國石油和天然氣管理局（OGA）將披露重要的歷史地震數據，幫助勘探者和開發人員發現北海潛在的碳和氫儲存點。

經過2019年的磋商，OGA決定根據勘探許可證提供10年或15年以上的地震數據，具體取決于數據類型。

為此，OGA正在發布指南，其中概述了2018年前根據勘探許可證創建或獲取地球物理調查數據的發布條件。

類似指南涵蓋了近期和未來地球物理調查數據（即2017年后創建或獲得的數據）的發布。

OGA運營總監Scott Robertson表示：“在通過國家發改委成功披露其他數據的基礎上，OGA就地震數據的報告和披露進行了廣泛的磋商。”

“這些額外的數據對于探險商和開發商來說，在實現MER UK目標方面以及通過確定對英國實現2050年及以后減排目標至關重要的潛在碳和氫儲存點，支持零排放的未來極為重要。”

“我們預計，將公布的遺留數據的重新加工和再加工將顯著增加，此類分析所確定的機會將導致活動，為工業、更廣泛的英國經濟以及英國向凈零未來過渡帶來實際利益。”

UK: OGA seismic data for potential carbon and hydrogen storage sites

Oil and Gas Authority UK (OGA) will disclose ‘vital’ historic seismic data that could help explorers and developers spot potential carbon and hydrogen storage sites in the North Sea.

Following consultation in 2019, the OGA has decided to make seismic data available, under an exploration licence and which are more than 10 or 15 years old, depending on the type of data.

For the purpose of this, the OGA is publishing guidance which outlines the publishing conditions under which geophysical survey data created or acquired under an exploration licence pre-2018

A similar guidance covers the publication of more recent, and future, geophysical survey data (i.e. those created or acquired post-2017).

Scott Robertson, OGA director of operations, said:

“The OGA has consulted extensively on the reporting and disclosure of seismic data, building on the success of disclosure of other data via the NDR.

“These additional data will be extremely valuable to explorers and developers in meeting MER UK goals, and in supporting a net zero future by identifying potential carbon and hydrogen storage sites that are vital for the UK to meet its emissions abatement targets for 2050 and beyond.

“We expect to see a significant increase in the reworking and reprocessing of the legacy data which will be published and the opportunities identified by such analysis will lead to activity that should bring real benefits to industry, the wider UK economy and the UK’s transition to a net zero future.”
