中国油气资源勘探现状与前景展望

Present state of petroleum exploration in China and its prospective

石油供求矛盾日益突出,给中国油气勘探提出了更高更紧迫的要求。为了增加油气供给,保障国家能源安全,必须寻求油气勘探的新途径,强化油气勘探,促进油气发现。在总结过去油气勘探,特别是“十五”期间所取得的成就的基础上,分析了当前和今后中国油气勘探面临主要问题,包括资源品位降低、勘探条件更加复杂、关键理论技术研究滞后、投入不足等,进而探索未来油气勘探的战略方向和储量增长趋势,即立足大型盆地,不断开拓勘探新领域,稳定东部、发展西部、加快海上、开拓新区。

Growing petroleum supply and demand contradiction in China sets still higher and more pressing requirements on petroleum exploration in China. In order to increase domestic oil and gas supply and ensure national energy security, China must look for a new way of petroleum exploration, strengthen petroleum exploration and promote petroleum discovery. Based on summing up the outcomes of petroleum exploration obtained in the past years, especially during the tenth Five-Year Plan period （2001-2005）, the paper analyzes main problems facing China＇s petroleum exploration, including the lowering of the grade of petroleum resources, worsening of exploration conditions, insufficiency of investment and lagging of research on key sciences and technologies. In addition, the paper probes into the strategic direction for future petroleum exploration and estimates the trend of reserve increase. The strategic direction of petroleum exploration is to ＂be based on exploration of large basins, open new exploration areas, develop the eastern region of China steadily, develop the western region of China, accelerate offshore exploration and exploit new areas＂.
