    According to Chinese customs data, the country's oil imports reached 7.4 million barrels per day, equivalent to one-third of the world's daily oil consumption, surpassing the 7.2 million barrels per day imported by the United States, becoming the world's largest oil importer.

    U.S. oil imports were once as high as 10 million barrels per day, accounting for more than half of the country's oil consumption. The shale revolution led to a significant increase in domestic production in the United States, reducing the country's dependence on imported oil, while China's oil demand continued unabated amid an economic slowdown, leading to a further increase in China's imports.

    The oil power is Kuwait.

    Oil countries include Venezuela, Canada, Saudi Arabia, Iran, Kuwait, etc., and many countries in the world have rich oil reserves. Kuwait is located in the northeastern part of the Arabian Peninsula, east of the Persian Gulf, the country is rich in oil resources.

    Oil extraction is the main economic lifeline of Kuwait, with more than 90% of its fiscal revenue coming from oil, and Kuwait is sometimes referred to as a country that floats on an oil lake. Oil, one of the main objects of geological exploration, is a viscous, dark brown liquid that is called"The blood of industry"。There are oil reserves in parts of the upper crust.

    The main ingredient is a mixture of various alkanes, naphthenes, and aromatic hydrocarbons.

    The former is widely accepted, believing that oil is formed by organisms in ancient oceans or lakes after a long period of evolution, which belongs to biological sedimentation to oil and is non-renewable. The latter believes that oil is generated from the carbon within the earth's crust itself, is biologically independent, and is renewable.

    Petroleum is mainly used as fuel oil and gasoline, and is also a raw material for many chemical industry products such as solutions, fertilizers, pesticides, and plastics.

    The application scope of PetroChina

    In people's daily life, transportation is indispensable. Then transportation is unavoidable, and most of the vehicles need petroleum as raw materials, decomposed and processed into gasoline, diesel, etc. In this way, it provides the power of the vehicle.

    Of course, there are no more than new energy vehicles, but there are also a minority.

    In addition to industrial manufacturing and daily transportation, high-tech industries in other countries are also widely used. For example, rocket launches, lunar exploration trips, etc., cannot escape the application of oil. It is necessary to decompose the oil into fuel and add it to the bottom of the rocket to boost the rocket to lift off, open up China's exploration of the world outside the earth, and promote the development of China's science and technology.

    The world's largest oil country is Venezuela.

    As early as 2011, Venezuela had 296.5 billion barrels of proven oil reserves, ranking first in the world, more than 30 billion barrels more than Saudi Arabia.

    According to the latest US estimates, Venezuela's heavy oil reserves have exceeded 500 billion barrels, more than double the internationally accepted amount. The reserves of one Orinoco oil belt alone are equal to the total reserves of Saudi Arabia.

    Introduction

    Although the reserves are the largest in the world, these oil resources, which are buried nearly 10,000 meters underground, belong to the poor quality of high-sulfur heavy oil. This kind of ** is contained in the form of oil sands in the deep underground, which is not only extremely difficult to mine, but also extremely costly. And it must be refined and blended before it can be exported.

    The quality is much worse than that of light oil, so it can only rely on the low-price strategy and sell it to some economically backward areas.

    Secondary processing due to difficult extraction and poor oil quality has seriously affected the efficiency and cost of Venezuelan oil. Under the premise that the world is rich in light quality, oil and gas exploitation companies are naturally reluctant to exploit heavy oil. Especially today, when oil prices have plummeted, no one wants to lose money and make money.
