中国石化新闻网讯 据WENews网站12月24日休斯敦报道,美国地质调查局(USGS)日前公布的统计数据显示,美国阿拉斯加州的国家石油储备区和邻近的陆地估计蕴藏着87亿桶可采石油储量,远远高于USGS在2010年作出的大约150万桶的估计。 最新估计数显示,在位于阿拉斯加州北部海岸线西半部的北斜坡上的国家石油储备区-A估计拥有25万亿立方英尺的天然气储量。 尽管对除国家石油储备区-A以外区域的估计没有得到实质性的改变,但总的来说,美国地质调查局估计在阿拉斯加州国家石油储备区-A、邻近的西波弗特海以及其它毗邻的陆地共拥有大约176亿桶石油储量以及超过50万亿立方英尺的有待发现的可采天然气储量。 此次评估没有包括位于北斜坡东侧的北极圈国家野生动物保护区。最近通过的税收改革法案包括一个允许在北极圈国家野生动物保护区内进行钻井作业的条款,但要想从该地区开采石油还需要数年的时间。 李峻 编译自 WENews.com 原文如下: Alaska’s Petroleum Reserve at 9 bln bbl – USGS Alaska’s National Petroleum Reserve and adjacent lands have an estimated 8.7 billion barrels of recoverable oil, the U.S. Geological Survey said on Friday, up from an estimate of about 1.5 million barrels made in 2010.
The newest estimate shows an estimated 25 trillion cubic feet of natural gas in the NPR-A, located on Alaska’s North Slope, on the western half of the northern coastline.
Overall, the USGS estimated that there is about 17.6 billion barrels of oil in both the NPR-A, the nearby Western Beaufort Sea and other adjacent lands, though the estimates for areas other than NPR-A were not substantially altered. Overall undiscovered, recoverable natural gas comes to more than 50 trillion cubic feet.
The assessment did not include the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, on the eastern side of the North Slope. The recently passed tax reform bill includes a provision to allow for drilling in ANWR, but it will be years before oil is potentially extracted from that location.
