石油圈中国石化新闻网讯 据普氏能源资讯8月17日伦敦报道，根据英国爱丁堡的赫里瓦特大学首席科学家约翰·昂德希尔周四发表的研究报告，英国的地质状况不太可能适合水力压裂作业。 该研究报告称，虽然英国的水力压裂技术在很大程度上受到了环境和政治反对派的阻挠，但是英国不利的地质条件意味着这种技术无论如何都将是没有收益和徒劳的。 英国地质调查局在2013年曾估计，英国中部地区包括有希望的鲍兰德盆地地下可能拥有822万亿和2281万亿立方英尺之间的非常规天然气储量。较低的数字代表P90储量——概率为90%，而较高的数字代表P10储量，概率为10%。尽管这些数字与英国已探明的常规天然气储量（2016年年底为7.3万亿立方英尺）相比是巨大的，但它们并不代表可开采的天然气储量。 英国地质调查局在报告中强调，对英国可开采的页岩气资源的评估仍处于初期阶段。同样在2013年，美国能源情报署对英国国内未探明的技术上可采的湿页岩气储量提供了一个更为温和的统计数据：25.8万亿立方英尺。 李峻 编译自 普氏能源资讯 原文如下： UK shale geology structurally potentially unproductive: study The UK’s geology is unlikely to be suitable for hydraulic fracturing, according to research released Thursday by John Underhill, Chief Scientist at Edinburgh’s Heriot-Watt University.
The report said that while fracking in the UK has largely been stymied by environmental and political opposition, unfavorable geology means that the technology would be unproductive in any case.
An estimate by the British Geological Survey found in 2013 that Central Britain, which includes the prospective Bowland basin, could hold between 822 and 2,281 Tcf (23.3-64.6 Tcm) of gas-in-place, the lower figure representing P90 reserves — a 90% probability — and the higher figure P10 reserves — a 10% probability. Although these figures are huge in comparison with the UK’s proved conventional gas reserves, which at end-2016 were just 7.3 Tcf, they do not represent recoverable gas.
The BGS stressed in the report, as it does in others, that assessments of the UK’s recoverable shale gas resource remain in their infancy. Also in 2013, a much more modest figure for the UK’s unproved technically recoverable wet shale gas reserves was provided by the US Energy Information Administration of 25.8 Tcf.
