据钻机地带6月16日消息称，挪威能源巨头Equinor和英国Centrica宣布达成协议，将向英国提供额外的天然气供应。
Equinor周四在一份声明中表示，供应协议将在未来3个冬天为英国提供进一步的能源安全保障。
新的供应协议在Equinor与Centrica现有的双边合同基础上，每年增加约10亿立方米的供应量，使合同规定的总供应量超过每年100亿立方米。
Equinor表示，由于英国目前大约三分之一的天然气需求从挪威进口，该声明强调了挪威与英国能源安全关系的战略重要性。
“这项协议对国家和我们的客户来说都是好消息。在能源安全至关重要的时刻，我很高兴我们能够尽自己的一份力来缓解压力，并在可能艰难的冬天到来之前提供更多的确定性。”
Centrica集团首席执行官Chris O’shea声称：“作为英国最大的能源供应商，通过英国天然气公司，我们非常认真地承担起为800多万国内和企业客户确保供应的责任。与Equinor签订的这项重要协议既巩固了重要的国内供应，也加强了英国和挪威之间的战略关系。”
Equinor总结称，该公司每年通常向英国供应200亿～220亿立方米天然气，覆盖了超过25%的英国天然气需求市场。

Equinor Adds More Gas To UK Winter Supply
Norwegian energy giant Equinor and UK’s Centrica have announced an agreement to deliver additional gas supplies to the UK.
Equinor said in a statement on Thursday that the supply agreement would provide further energy security for the UK over the coming three winters.
The new supply agreement adds around 1 billion cubic meters (bcm) per year to Equinor’s existing, bilateral contract with Centrica and brings the total volume under the contract above 10 bcm per year.
With Britain currently importing around a third of its gas requirements from Norway, the announcement underlines the strategic importance of the Norwegian relationship to UK energy security, Equinor stated.
“This agreement is good news for the country and for our customers. At a time when energy security is paramount, I’m delighted that we are able to do our bit to ease the pressure and provide some more certainty ahead of what may be a difficult winter.
“As Britain’s biggest energy supplier, through British Gas, we take our responsibility to secure supplies for over 8 million domestic and business customers very seriously. This important agreement with Equinor both underpins vital domestic supplies and strengthens the strategic relationship between the UK and Norway”, Chris O’Shea, Centrica Group Chief Executive, claimed.
Equinor concluded by stating that it typically supplies 20-22 bcm of natural gas to the UK every year which covers over 25 percent of UK gas demand.
