據鉆機地帶6月3日消息，英國可能有望成為能源領域的“硅谷”，這就是英國石油天然氣公司(OGUK)首席執行官迪爾德麗·米基(Deirdre Michie)在本周該組織年會的開幕詞中所說的。她補充表示,在正確的支持下, 英國將成為未來關鍵領域的全球領導者，例如減排、清潔能源和低碳技術。

　　在演講中，米基強調，北海過渡協議是該國出口增長部門的基石，并指出該協議是七國集團(G7)國家的首個此類協議。

　　米基在演講中稱：“我們的產業仍然是皇冠上的一顆明珠，是英國工業的成功故事，還有很多其他的“明珠”——造船、紡織、鋼鐵和采礦等等?！?/p>

　　“所有這些產業的共同點是，當對其產品的需求仍然存在時，它們卻消失不見了，留下可怕的后果，我們無需粉飾這一事實，它會對被遺忘的人和工作、社區以及企業造成可怕的后果，并失去改變的機會?！?/p>

　　“理解我們為什么讓這種事情發生是關鍵，因為歷史不需要重演。但是我們必須做出慎重的選擇。我們選擇責任，在投資未來能源的同時降低行業排放——以全球領先的速度。”米基繼續說道。

　　“對我們的排放負責，支持就業，為處于變化邊緣的能源社區提供動力;放開投資，同時也放開我們需要的工程技術，以便更快實現目標;支持供應鏈上數百家公司，他們在石油和天然氣行業磨練了技能，現在正為整個能源行業工作?！?/p>

　　“這個選擇意味著我們將以一種公平的方式實現我們的氣候目標，不讓任何人掉隊?！?/p>

　　OGUK的年度會議于6月1日至3日上午通過三個免費的網絡研討會舉行。OGUK網站強調，該活動匯集了來自各個領域的行業領先專家，討論在COP26 (2021年聯合國氣候變化大會)之前英國海上油氣行業的變化。

　　早在3月份，英國政府就與該行業達成了一項北海過渡協議。在該協議達成后，OGUK贊揚了行業和政界對該協議的支持，并補充稱，該協議得到了其成員的支持，該組織表示，這些成員代表了橫跨英國各地的400多家公司。

　　UK Could Become Silicon Valley of Energy

　　The UK could become the Silicon Valley of energy.That’s what Oil & Gas UK’s (OGUK) Chief Executive Deirdre Michie said in the opening speech of the organization’s annual conference this week, adding that, with the right support, the UK will be the global leader in the critical areas of the future, such as emissions reduction, clean energy, and low carbon technologies.

　　In the speech, Michie highlighted that the North Sea Transition Deal was the cornerstone of this exportable growth sector for the country and pointed out that the deal is the first of its kind by a G7 country.

　　“Our sector is still a jewel in the crown and an industrial success story for the UK,” Michie said in the speech. “There have been many other jewels – shipbuilding, textiles, steel and mining to name just a few,” Michie added.

　　“What all of these have in common is that they were all lost while the demand for their products continued. With dire consequences – let’s not sugarcoat it – on people and jobs, communities and businesses that were left behind and opportunities to transform being lost,” Michie said.

　　“Understanding why we let this happen is key because history doesn’t have to be repeated. But we have to make conscious choices,” Michie continued. “We are choosing to be responsible and drive down our industry emissions while investing in the energies of the future – at a pace which is leading the way globally,” Michie went on to say.

　　“Being accountable for our emissions, supporting jobs, and powering energy communities which are very much on the cusp of change; unlocking the investment but also the engineering expertise we need to get there faster; supporting the hundreds of companies across the supply chain who have sharpened their skills in the oil and gas sector and are now working across the energy industry,” Michie said.

　　“That is the choice that means we will meet our climate goals in a way which is fair and leaves no one behind,” Michie added.

　　OGUK’s annual conference is taking place via three free to attend morning webinars from June 1-3. The event brings together industry leading experts from across the sector and beyond to discuss the changing face of the UK offshore oil and gas industry, in the run up to COP26, OGUK’s website highlights.

　　Back in March, the UK government agreed a North Sea Transition Deal with the industry. Following the deal, OGUK praised industry and political backing for the agreement, adding that the deal was supported by its members, which it said represent over 400 companies spanning the length and breadth of the UK.
