英国本国是一个贫油的国家。从1950—1957年天然原油和页岩原油的产量每年在15万吨左右。1952—1956年英国进口原油2300—2900万吨/年。1956年进口的液体燃料中,原油占75.0%,石油产品占25.0%。英国垄断组织所控制的原油年产量达1.5亿吨,主要产地在中东。1957年下半年爱丁堡附近的气田开始供应天然气,每天约产10万呎~3(2.800公尺~3),这个气田1937年就被发现,当时认为无工业价值,而近来因煤的供应不足,煤造气成本日益昂贵,这样才进行开发。
Britain itself is a country that is oil-poor. From 1950 to 1957 crude oil and crude oil production was about 150,000 tons a year. 1952 - 1956 Britain imported 2300-2900 tons of crude oil / year. In 1956 imported liquid fuels, crude oil accounted for 75.0%, petroleum products accounted for 25.0%. The annual output of crude oil controlled by British monopolies amounts to 150 million tons, mainly in the Middle East. In the second half of 1957, gas fields near Edinburgh began to supply natural gas, with an annual output of about 100,000 feet -3 (2.800 meters ~ 3). This gas field was discovered in 1937 when it was thought to have no industrial value. However, due to insufficient supply of coal recently, The cost of coal gasification is becoming more and more expensive so that it can be exploited.
