全球石油产业引人注目的一个最新变化是,从2007年1月1日开始,石油输出国组织欧佩克的成员名单上增加了一个新的非洲产油大国——安哥拉。已历经半个世纪发展的欧佩克,为何能够一直稳定存在和发展?特别是此次安哥拉的加入,即30多年来欧佩克的首次扩容,引发了业内对该组织继续扩容的遐想。在当今石油市场,欧佩克举足轻重,扩容将更加提升其影响力。其对中国以及世界经济的影响以及中国应采取的对策是一个亟须探讨的话题。 One of the most dramatic changes in the global oil industry is that from January 1, 2007, a new oil-producing African country, Angola, has been added to the list of OPEC members. Why has OPEC, which has gone through half a century’s development, has been stable and has been developing? Especially since the accession of Angola, the first expansion of OPEC in more than 30 years, has caused the industry’s reverie to continue its expansion. In today’s oil market, OPEC holds the pivotal position and expansion will further enhance its influence. Its impact on China and the world economy and the countermeasures China should take are a topic that needs urgent discussion.
