拉美是第三世界经济发展较快的地区,又是人均能源消费量最多的地区。拉美石油和水力资源十分丰富,1986年底探明的可采石油储量为124亿吨(不含委内瑞拉1000多亿吨的重油储量),在世界各大地区中仅次于中东。煤的储量很少,仅为70亿吨,是世界总储量的0.7%,大多集中在哥伦比亚。天然气资源也较缺乏,探明储量仅5.5万亿立方米,为世界储量的5.2%。1986年拉美地区商业能源产量为5亿吨石油当量,消费量为3.9亿吨石油当量。
Latin America is a region where the economy of the third world has developed rapidly and is the region with the largest energy consumption per capita. Latin American oil and water resources are very rich. At the end of 1986, proven recoverable oil reserves of 12.4 billion tons (excluding Venezuela’s more than 100 billion tons of heavy oil reserves), second only to the Middle East in major regions of the world. Coal reserves are very small, only 7 billion tons, 0.7% of the world’s total reserves, mostly concentrated in Colombia. Natural gas resources are also scarce, with proven reserves of only 5.5 trillion cubic meters, accounting for 5.2% of the world’s reserves. In 1986, the commercial energy output in Latin America was 500 million tons of oil equivalent and the consumption was 390 million tons of oil equivalent.
