技术进步对储量增大的影响目前世界原油探明储量有四分之三其生产成本不足4美元/桶,但90%位于中东。在今后二十年,由于低价原油储量枯竭,探明储量的成本将增加,可能出现高成本原油(20—30美元/桶),但技术进步可以减缓储量成本的增长,降低高成本原油的成本(图1)。 The impact of technological progress on the increase of reserves At present, three-quarters of the world’s proved reserves of crude oil have a production cost of less than 4 U.S. dollars per barrel, but 90% are located in the Middle East. Over the next two decades, the cost of proved reserves will increase as a result of the depletion of low-cost crude oil reserves and the possible emergence of high-cost crude oil (US $ 20-30 / bbl). However, technological advances may slow the growth of reserve costs and reduce the cost of high-cost crude oil Cost (Figure 1).
