???? 據石油新聞2021年3月18日倫敦報道，英國石油公司（BP）旗下的位于英國設得蘭群島西部的兩個旗艦油田克萊爾油田和斯希哈林油田的少數股份持有者英國領先的獨立勘探和生產公司Chrysaor公司在3月18日的一份聲明中說，BP的兩個旗艦油田的表現均低于預期，補救措施如新增鉆井作業預計需要時間來實施。

????克萊爾油田和斯希哈林油田位于大西洋東部惡劣的海洋環境中，在過去10年中先后進行了數十億美元的升級，分別在2017年和2018年安裝了新的生產設施。BP稱，就英國的增長前景而言，該地區是BP的主要關注點，而不是傳統的北海。

????不過，在克萊爾油田和斯希哈林油田中分別持有7.5%和10%股份的Chrysaor公司在其年度報告中指出，這兩個旗艦油田如今都遇到了難題。

????這兩個油田生產的是重質原油，而不是像布倫特和克萊爾那樣的輕質低硫原油，后者是布倫特基準原油的組成部分。克萊爾原油在設得蘭群島的Sullom Voe裝載，而斯希哈林原油則直接運往鹿特丹煉油廠進行加工。

????BP's flagship UK oil fields hit by production setbacks

????BP's flagship Clair and Schiehallion oil fields in the UK West of Shetland area have both been performing below expectations, with remedial measures such as new drilling expected to take time to implement, minority stakeholder Chrysaor said in a March 18 statement.

????Schiehallion and Clair, located in a harsh maritime environment in the eastern Atlantic, have both undergone multi-billion dollar upgrades in the last decade, with new production facilities installed in 2017 and 2018 respectively. BP has described the region as its main focus in terms of UK growth prospects, rather than the conventional North Sea.

????However, Chrysaor, which holds stakes of 7.5% and 10% in Clair and Schiehallion respectively, noted both were encountering problems, in its annual report.

????The fields produce heavy crude, rather than light sweet grades such as Brent and Clair that contribute to the Dated Brent benchmark, with Clair crude loaded at Sullom Voe in the Shetland Islands and Schiehallion crude shipped directly to Rotterdam for processing.
