自1993年成为石油净进口国开始,我国石油进口量每年递增1000万吨左右,石油对外依存度逐年攀升,2009年超过50%,到2020年中国石油对外依存度将上升至60%。国际原油市场受政治、经济、军事形势的影响,价格多变。国际形势一旦出现风吹草动影响石油进口,必将危及国民经济建设和社会稳定。因此,为了保证国家能源安全和利益,规避国际市场原油供应的不确定因素和价格剧烈波动而造成的风险,建设原油储备库,提升原油储备能力,具有非常重要的政治意义和战略意义。 Since China became a net importer of oil in 1993, China’s oil imports have increased by 10 million tons every year. The degree of dependence on foreign oil has risen every year. In 2009, it exceeded 50%. By 2020, China’s dependence on foreign oil will increase to 60%. The international crude oil market is affected by the political, economic and military conditions and its prices are changing. In the event of a turmoil in the international situation that affects oil imports, it will certainly jeopardize the national economic construction and social stability. Therefore, in order to ensure the country’s energy security and interests, to avoid the uncertainty of the international market of crude oil supply and the price volatility caused by the risk of building a crude oil reserve pool, improve crude oil reserve capacity, has a very important political significance and strategic significance.
