东南亚深海油气勘探开发形势及对外合作前景

Deepwater E&P in Southeast Asia and prospects for international cooperation

东南亚地区是世界重要的具有深海油气潜力的地区之一,约有100多个深海沉积盆地。2003-2008年,在东南亚发现的新增探明油气可采储量近96亿桶油当量(包括陆地和浅海)。目前在大于200米水深的海域中,近5年新增探明储量最多的国家为马来西亚(17.8亿桶)和印度尼西亚(5.54亿桶),占东南亚地区这一时期总的新增探明可采储量的24.3%。目前东南亚的深海油气活动规模较小,但深海油气资源潜力不容忽视。该地区深海勘探开发因受边界利益争端等政治问题的影响,存在一定的不确定性和复杂性,这是其对外合作的一个制约因素。我国与东南亚国家的深水合作勘探和开发还处于起步阶段,我们应充分利用地缘优势,适时进入,为我国能源供应多元化提供保障。

Southeast Asia is one of the world' s most important regions in terms of deep-sea oil and gas development potential,with some 100 sedimentary basins.From 2003 to 2008,newly proved oil and gas reserves discovered in Southeast Asia are nearly 9.6 billion barrels of oil equivalent(including on land or in shallow sea).Presently,in sea area more than 200 meters deep,Malaysia and Indonesia have the most newly proved reserves in the past 5 years,with 1.78 billion barrels and 5S4 million barrels,respectively.This accounts for 24.3% of all newly proved oil and gas reserves for Southeast Asia during this period.Apart from these two countries,other deep-sea sedimentary basins are mainly located in the South China Sea,Vietnam,Burma,Thailand,the Philippines,and Brunei,some of them in disputed areas.Current deep-sea oil and gas activities in Southeast Asia are on a relatively small scale,but the potential of deep-sea oil and gas resources cannot be ignored.The deep-sea E&P in this area is affected by political problems,including border disputes,making international cooperation an uncertain and complex matter.The cooperation of China and Southeast Asian countries about deep-water E&P is in its infancy.We should pursue our geographical advantage and seize this opportunity to develop international cooperation and diversify the nation' s energy supply.
