Kimmeridge Limestone项目有望新增5600个工作岗位

Future Kimmeridge Limestone oil production projects over the UK’s Weald Basin could generate between approximately 1,000 to 5,600 jobs in the UK per year on average during their lifetime, according to a report from advisory services firm EY, which was commissioned by UK Oil & Gas Investments plc.

The report predicts that the gross value added to the UK economy as a result of the ventures could range from $10 billion (GBP 7.1 billion) to $74.6 billion (GBP 52.6 billion) and stated that future peak oil production from these projects could provide around 4 to 27 percent of the UK’s 2014 daily oil demand. Under a ‘low’ scenario, the report indicates that total production from the lifetime of the projects would be around 140 million barrels. This figure would rise to 560 million barrels in a ‘mid’ scenario, and 1.1 billion barrels in a ‘high’ scenario.

Peak oil production in the mid and high scenarios is around 170,000 and 330,000 barrels per day, according to the report, which states that its production scenarios are “conservative” and highlighted that the results of recent extended flow testing of Kimmeridge Limestone Oil were “far above expectations”.
