Importance and non-renewability.
As an extremely important resource, oil plays a pivotal role in modern industry, manufacturing and many other aspects, so it is known as "black gold". However, because ** is a non-renewable energy source, its formation will go through tens of millions of years of geological activities, but the rate of consumption is faster than the rate of production, so we must cherish and save energy.
As an oil-using country, we have a high demand for ** and it continues to increase. According to the data, our country's annual consumption is more than 500 million tons, while only 30% is in the country, and the remaining 70% depends on imports, both in terms of quantity and amount are considerable, as high as 25 trillion yuan has brought great pressure and challenges to the country's economic and energy security.
Current situation and development dilemma of China's petroleum resources.
Although we are a big oil-using country, it is not an oil-rich country, and compared with places like the Middle East, our ** reserves can only be regarded as midstream, far less than those rich places. Now our country has discovered about 50 billion tons of ** reserves, although the amount is huge, but in terms of our country's per capita consumption capacity, it can support our country for more than 100 years at most, which is not yet difficult to develop.
In fact, in China, the distribution of oil resources is not even, there are many places, some places are very scarce, and many of them are concentrated in complex terrain and environmentally sensitive places, such as the Tarim Basin, where the land is seriously desertified, containing a large number of **, preliminary estimates, the total reserves are more than 17.9 billion tons, however, due to the difficulty of development, huge investment, and taking into account the surrounding ecology and environment, so it can not be unrestricted large-scale development, so as not to bring irreparable consequences.
In addition, there are also deficiencies in the development of oil and gas in China, especially some unconventional oil and gas, such as shale oil, this kind of oil and gas reserves are huge, but the fracturing process must be used to develop, the domestic research in this area has just begun, and there is a large distance from developed countries such as the United States, and it may also have an adverse effect on the stability of underground water sources and underground structures, so it is necessary to use it carefully.
Motivation and strategic thinking of China's ** import.
In short, although the number of our country is large, but not much, the development is difficult, the cost is high, and we cannot meet our increasing needs, so we can only rely on imports to fill this vacancy, which is also a matter of no way.
The introduction of ** from abroad can not only solve the current energy shortage problem, but also protect the country's **, prevent it from being over-exploited and wasted, and leave it to future generations, and can also establish good relations with some oil-producing countries, through economic and trade exchanges, increase mutual understanding and confidence, and show our credibility and strength in the world.
Of course, in the process of exporting, there are also a lot of dangers and problems, such as oil prices in the United States and other Western powers, sometimes sharply, sometimes sharply, sometimes caused a great blow to our economy, plus some people with ulterior motives, trying to blockade our *** choke our neck, this is a problem we must guard against.
To this end, we must strengthen the exploration and exploitation of domestic production in the case of the introduction of the first, improve the production technology and efficiency, so that the scientific and rational use of the first, and strengthen the planning and construction of the first reserves, at present, China's reserves can only be maintained for more than 30 days, compared with a country with a population of more than 1.4 billion, it is still far behind, and it needs to continue to expand.
Third, under the premise of ensuring oil supply, promoting the development of other renewable resources such as wind power, solar energy, and hydropower can not only reduce dependence on the environment, but also reduce environmental pollution, and achieve energy diversification and sustainable development, which is necessary for the country to deal with future energy problems.
