Due miliardi e duecento milioni di barili?
30/3/2007Pechino afferma di aver fatto una importante scoperta in campo petrolifero.
For 15 years, China’s oil companies have scoured its territory for new oil sources, drilling in Central Asian deserts and the floor of the Pacific, hoping to reduce rising dependence on imports.
After years of disappointment, PetroChina Ltd. announced it has found an offshore field that could become China’s biggest new domestic-petroleum source in a decade, with reserves of 2.2 billion barrels, the official Xinhua News Agency said Wednesday.
Such a field would be a “world-scale discovery,” said Gavin Thompson, an oil consultant in Beijing for the Scottish firm Wood Mackenzie.
“In terms of energy security, a 2-billion-barrel discovery is going to be very welcome, not only to PetroChina but to China’s energy planners,” he said.
