我国是世界上开发利用石油和天然气最早的国家。远在三千多年前,我国古书《易经》上,就有关于石油的文字记载。至于海上石油的开发,因限于当时人类征服自然的能力,面对波涛汹涌、变幻莫测的大海,只能“望洋兴叹”而已。在科学技术高度发达的今天,征服海洋,打开海底宝库,向海洋要石油,已经不再是力所不及的奢望了。如今在世界石油、天然气产量中,海上石油部分占有十分重要的地位,所占比重越来越大,目 Our country is the earliest country in the world to develop and utilize oil and natural gas. Far more than 3000 years ago, our ancient book “Book of Changes”, there are written records of oil. As for the development of offshore oil, limited to the ability of mankind to conquer nature at that time, in the face of the choppy and unpredictable sea, it can only be “disappointed”. In today’s highly developed science and technology, conquering the oceans, opening the seabed treasury, to the ocean to oil, is no longer an extravagant hopeless. Nowadays, among the world’s oil and natural gas production, the offshore oil sector occupies a very important position with an increasing share of the total.
