台湾石油天然气工业的发展

HISTORY OF OIL INDUSTRY OF TAIWAN

台湾石油、天然气工业发展较早.早期的记载多以天然气为主,主要见于台南嘉义县、台北凤山与淡水一带.最早发现和开采石油的地区是苗栗出磺坑(1878年).日本侵台期间(1895-1945)进行了三次大规模的石油调查,钻井251口,共发现、开发了7个油气田,累计掠夺石油约120.9万桶,天然气约10.4亿立方米.台湾光复后,于陆地与海域都有新的发现.至1986年,共发现、开采油气田19个:共生产天然气339.8亿立方米,平均年产8.5亿立方米,最高年产19.76亿立方米(1978年);共生产原油315.36万吨,平均年产7.5万吨,最高年产21.89万吨(1977年).

The oil industry of Taiwan has a long history, whose early accounts deal mainly with the natural gas in Jiayi of south Taiwan, and Fengshan and Danshui of north Taiwan. The area where oil was found and recovered earliest is Syukkoko of Miaoli. In the 50 years from 1895 to 1945 when Japanese invaders occupied Taiwan, three large-scale oil surveys were conducted, with 251 wells drilled, 7 oilfields found and opened up, and 1.209 million bbl of oil and 1040 million cubic meters of gas plundered. After the recovery of Taiwan, a number of new oilfields were found both on land ane offshore. By 1986, 19 oil and gas fields had been found and developed. During the 40 years between 1946 and 1986, 33980 million cubic meters of gas were produced per year on an average and the highest output of 1976 million cubic meters of gas in 1978. From 1946 to 1988, 31.536 tons of oil were produced, with 75000 tonsper ear on an average and the highest output of 218400 tons in 1977.
