据统计,全世界每年的石油消耗量为200亿桶,或者说比全世界每年的石油发现量大约多50亿桶。在50年代和60年代的初期,每年的石油发现量为350亿桶,而如今下降到了当时的40％。产油的高峰时期是1979年,那时每天产油6570万桶,当年的油价为每桶30美元。由于价格上涨致使生产下降,1983年的油产量为5640万桶;现在石油输出国组织正设法使每天的油产量再减少360万桶,以阻止价格的下跌。虽然产油区的人们不关心改进油的探查技术,
According to statistics, the world’s annual oil consumption is 20 billion barrels, or about 5 billion barrels more than the world’s annual oil discoveries. In the early 1950s and early 60s, the annual amount of oil discovered was 35 billion barrels, which is now down to 40%. The peak period of oil production was 1979. At that time, 65.7 million barrels of oil were produced each day, and the oil price was 30 US dollars per barrel. Due to the drop in production caused by rising prices, the oil production in 1983 was 56.4 million barrels; now the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries is trying to reduce the daily production of oil by 3.6 million barrels a day to stop the price from falling. Although people in oil-producing areas do not care about improving oil exploration technology,
