拉美地区油气投资环境及中拉合作建议

Oil and gas investment environment in Latin America and cooperation suggestions

2018年是拉美地区大选之年,地区政治风向右转,政局总体保持稳定.2019年,拉美地区资源国新总统执政后,油气行业对外合作政策向放松转变.随着国际油价回暖和经济复苏,拉美地区石油工业开始恢复发展,油气行业投资吸引力将逐步增强.委内瑞拉作为拉美最大的资源大国,因受到美国的制裁,其油气生产受到严重影响,导致地区石油和天然气产量持续下降.此外,拉美地区经济整体增长缓慢,社会安全问题普遍存在,中国石油企业在拉美地区的投资面临诸多风险和挑战.面对机遇和风险,中国石油企业应积极创新合作模式,探寻新的合作领域,规避风险,将中拉油气合作推向新的高度.

2018 was the year of general elections in Latin America,with the regional political direction turning to the right and the overall political situation remaining stable.In 2019,after the new president of the resource-rich countries of Latin America took office,the foreign cooperation policies of the oil and gas industry were deregulated.With the recovery of international oil prices and economic recovery,the oil industry in Latin America has started to recover,and the investment attraction of the oil and gas industry will gradually increase.As Latin America’s largest resource country,Venezuela’s oil and gas production has been severely affected by US sanctions,leading to a continuous decline in regional oil and gas production.In addition,the overall economic growth in Latin America is slow,social security problems are widespread,and Chinese oil companies would face many risks and challenges in their investment in the region.Faced with opportunities and risks,Chinese oil companies should actively innovate cooperation modes,explore new areas of cooperation,avoid risks and push China-Latin America oil and gas cooperation to a new height.
