美国几家石油公司在过去五年中耗费了30亿美元,以寻找大西洋中大陆架以外的石油。这些公司共钻了35口井,但丝毫未发现有油气的迹象,故到1982年就中止了钻井活动。现在,东山再起,这次耗资和所冒的风险都要比过去大得多。壳牌石油公司、加利福尼亚标准石油公司和大西洋富田公司均打算今年或明年在大西洋海岸以外钻五口井。和过去作法不同之处,这次新的勘探活动将在大陆架边缘或以外的深水中进行。实际上,在新泽西州大西洋域东南190公里处,壳牌
Several U.S. oil companies spent 3 billion U.S. dollars over the past five years in search of oil outside the continental shelf of the Atlantic Ocean. These companies drilled a total of 35 wells but found no signs of oil and gas. As a result, drilling activities were suspended in 1982. Now that Dongshan is making a comeback, the cost and the risk it has to take are much greater than in the past. Shell Petroleum, California Standard Oil, and Atlantic Farm are all planning to drill five wells off the Atlantic coast this year or next. Differing from past practice, this new exploration activity will be carried out in deep water on the edge of the continental shelf or beyond. In fact, Shell is about 190 kilometers southeast of the Atlantic Ocean in New Jersey.
