地球上到底有多少石油? 法国石油研究所估计,世界石油资源的极限数可能是一万亿吨,至少是现在探明的常规石油储量的十倍。而可采石油储量的极限数在二千六百亿吨左右,如果包括深海(二百米以上)和南北两极地区,可达三千亿吨。其中有一千三百五十亿吨埋在海底。这是对地球石油资源的比较 How much oil is there on earth? The French Institute of Petroleum estimates that the world’s oil resources may have a limit of one trillion tons, at least ten times the current proven oil reserves. The limit of the recoverable oil reserves is about 260 billion tons. If it includes the deep sea (more than 200 meters) and the north and south polar regions, it can reach 300 billion tons. Of these, 135 billion tons were buried under the sea. This is a comparison of the petroleum resources of the earth
