据能源之声1月19日报道，未来几年，北海最大的几家能源巨头将加大对该地区风力发电的投资，而不是石油和天然气。
壳牌(Shell)、道达尔能源(TotalEnergies)和英国石油(bp)本周赢得了苏格兰海上风电场的开发权。随着能源转型加速，他们正从这个日渐老化的石油省撤出，正在调整支出重点。
咨询公司伍德麦肯兹（Wood Mackenzie）研究主管诺曼?瓦伦丁(Norman Valentine)表示，即使在ScotWind融资之前，道达尔未来几年在海上风力发电上的投入，就已经超过了在英国油气开发上的投入。即使没有新的ScotWind项目，BP在英国海上风电的资本投资也将在2025年超过石油和天然气。
目标到2030年每年在全球可再生能源上投入50亿美元(37亿英镑)的英国石油公司，计划在苏格兰投资100亿美元(73亿英镑)的风能项目。瓦伦丁表示，对于壳牌而言，其两个拟议的苏格兰项目可能会在本世纪二十年代后五年推动其风能投资超过英国的石油和天然气支出。该公司目前每年向全球可再生能源领域投入30亿美元（22亿英镑），向其上游部门投入80亿美元（58亿英镑）。
尽管这些能源巨头仍然在北海石油和天然气领域占有一席之地，但它们的地位已今非昔比。半个世纪前，壳牌(Shell)和英国石油(BP)发现了标志性的布伦特(Brent)和福蒂斯(Forties)油田，这两个油田产量峰值时日产量均为50万桶。如今，壳牌正在剥离布伦特原油，而英国石油公司已不再拥有Forties，后者的日产量已降至仅2万桶。

North Sea oil majors to spend more on UK wind than fossil fuels
The biggest North Sea majors are set to invest more in the region’s wind power in the coming years than in its oil and gas.
Shell, TotalEnergies and BP, which won rights to develop wind farms off Scotland this week, are shifting their spending priorities as they retreat from the aging oil province amid the accelerating energy transition.
“Even before the ScotWind round, TotalEnergies was set to spend more over the next few years on offshore wind than on oil and gas development in the UK,” said Norman Valentine, a research director at consultant Wood Mackenzie. “BP’s capital investment in UK offshore wind was also set to eclipse oil and gas by mid-decade even without its new ScotWind projects.”
BP, which aims to spend $5 billion (￡3.7 bn) a year on renewables worldwide by 2030, plans a $10 billion (￡7.3 bn) Scottish wind project. For Shell, its two proposed Scottish sites could push its wind investment above UK oil and gas spending in the second half of this decade, Valentine said. The firm currently channels as much as $3 billion (￡2.2 bn) a year into renewables globally and $8 billion (￡5.8 bn) to its upstream unit.
While the majors still retain a presence in North Sea oil and gas, they’re a shadow of what they once were. Half a century ago Shell and BP discovered the iconic Brent and Forties fields, which at their peak each pumped half a million barrels a day. Now Shell is in the process of dismantling Brent, while BP no longer owns Forties, whose daily output has dwindled to just 20,000 barrels.
