Lavest i verden

I neste måned starter produksjonen fra Johan Sverdrup-feltet.

I en pressemelding skriver Lundin Norway dette:

“During phase 1, Johan Sverdrup will produce 440 Mbopd when plateau production is reached by summer of 2020, increasing to 660 Mbopd after phase 2 commences in the fourth quarter 2022. At phase 2 plateau, Johan Sverdrup will contribute up to 25 percent of Norway’s total production of oil and gas, while power from shore gives the field carbon emissions intensity of just below 1 kg CO2 per barrel, which is among the lowest in the world and 25 times lower than the oil and gas industry average.”

“25 times lower than the oil and gas industry average”.

Dette viser alltså at norsk oljeproduksjon har lavere utslipp enn snittet for hele verden. Hvorfor vi i Norge skal avslutte vår produksjon for å redusere utslipp, slik noen hevder, når vi til de grader går foran med et godt eksempel, er en gåte.
