依靠自主设备 开发深海油气

Developing oil and gas from deep waters with the self-manufactured equipment

海洋深水—超深水区是世界油气发展的热点,但目前面临勘探开发设备不足的瓶颈。依托中国在机器制造、钢铁、造船上的优势和在这些方面正由大国向强国转变的机遇,中国石油海洋工程设备得以迅速发展。目前不仅在浅水设备制造体系上已臻成熟,而且在深水—超深水海工设备制造上也取得重大进展,到2020年前后可望完善体系配套并跻身这方面的强国之列。中国可主要依托自已的海工设备开展南海自营油气勘探开发,首先在外国干扰较小的南海北部区中、东段深水—超深水区实现油气勘探开发,继而向南海南部和其他地区发展,从而取得南海开发油气的主动权;与此同时,争取外国公司多方面的合作,同时制止或削弱其与侵犯中国主权国家的合作。中国将更全面地进入世界海洋油气勘探开发市场。

Oil and gas development in deep and ultra-deep waters has become a hot issue in worldwide petroleum industry. However, lack of exploration and development equipment for these resources constrains whole progress. With advantage of its capacity in machinery, steel and ship building industries, China ocean petroleum engineering equipment has developed quickly. Currently, China is not only perfecting its manufacturing system for shallow-water prospecting equipment, but also making big progress in producing prospecting equipment for ultra- deep waters. Around 2020, China will be one of best countries of the ocean petroleum engineering equipment. China can rely on its own pe- troleum equipment to explore hydrocarbons of deep and ultra-deep water in the central and eastern part of northern South China Sea, where foreign powers have not interfered so much, and then turn to southern South China Sea and other area. Thus, China can take initiative in oil and gas development of this area. Meanwhile, China also jointly develop oil and gas in deep and ultra-deep waters with certain foreign companies, and by this way, stop or weaken their cooperation with circumjacent countries that have violated China~ s sovereignty. By then, China will be able to enter the world＇s offshore oil and gas exploration and development market in an all-around way.
