解放前的石油工业是处于极其落后的状态。帝国主义者和买办资产阶级垄断了中国石油市场,使中国的石油工业不能得到发展。加上帝国主义及其御用学者们长期散布中国贫油论,因之在石油科学方面很少有人从事研究工作。在期刊上曾发表过的寥寥几篇论文因为结合不上生产,只能起些点缀门面的作用。 The oil industry before liberation was in a state of extreme backwardness. The imperialists and the comprador bourgeoisie monopolized the Chinese oil market and prevented the Chinese oil industry from developing. In addition, imperialism and its imperial scholars have long disseminated the theory of China’s oligopolies. As a result, few people are engaged in research work in petroleum science. The few papers that have been published in the journal can only be used to embellish the facade because they cannot be combined with production.
