    Let's be realistic. First, in the past, China's exploration technology was not advanced enough. So even if there is oil, it is very difficult to explore.

    Moreover, the level of mining is not high, and it is easy to waste. Second, China's population is too large, and even if there is more oil, it will be less per capita. Third, and I think the most important, was that at that time, China's status in the international community was very low, and it was not recognized by Western countries.

    In the eyes of others, Chinese are the sick men of East Asia, and China is poor and backward, and nothing is advanced. Because we look at China with contempt, we say that China is an oil-poor country.

    Because their theory of finding oil is very poor, but they are very dogmatic, saying that your geological characteristics are either not right or that is not good, and as a result, they say that you have no oil after reading a few places.

    The whole world thinks that China is an oil-poor country, why does Li Siguang say that China has big oil fields?

    Western academics have long believed that only marine sedimentary basins can be rich in oil. Because in addition to temperature, pressure and time, oil production requires a large amount of organic matter and a good sedimentary layer. Through the exploration of eastern China, Chinese and foreign scholars have found that eastern China is covered by extensive strata formed after the extinction of the dinosaurs, and is basically a continental sedimentary basin.

    Therefore, they assert: China is an oil-poor country.

    Chinese scholars have also questioned China's assertion that it is poor in oil. The first census evaluated the country's large and small basins, focusing on the history of their formation and the possibility of the presence of oil. Subsequently, in a place called Daqing on the Songliao Plain, the first oil well in New China was born.

    Chinese petroleum scientists have come up with the theory that large oil fields can be produced in continental sedimentary basins. This is the famous theory of terrestrial oil production, which is a major breakthrough in the theory of world oil development. Under the guidance of this theory, China has successively discovered several large oil fields, such as Shengli, Dagang, Liaohe, North China, and the Central Plains.

    By the end of 1963, Premier *** solemnly declared at the fourth session of the Second National People's Congress that China was basically self-sufficient in petroleum.

    Because before the discovery of the Daqing oilfield, foreign experts said that China did not have a large oil field after their investigation, so they asserted that China was an oil-poor country. Soon, however, China's own experts discovered several large oil fields, such as Daqing and Shengli, through investigations. So, after that, China's oil-poor theory collapsed.

    If China has no oil, can PetroChina be so invincible?

    China's oil reserves are much smaller than those in Africa and the Middle East, and coal is not our dominant energy source.

    Because before the discovery of the Daqing oil field, Chi Buwang's foreign experts said that China did not have a large oil field after their investigation, so they asserted that China was an oil-poor country. Soon, however, China's own experts conducted inspections and discovered several large oil fields, such as Daqing and Shengli. So, after that, China's oil-poor theory collapsed.

    The Daqing Yiqiao Oilfield, which was built in the second five-year plan, was discovered by exploration according to the original petroleum geology theory created by Chinese geologists. In the first work report, Li Siguang's thoughts and theories on oil search were fully affirmed.

    It should be due to China's large population, large base, and per capita reserves of oil and gas resources, which means that oil-poor countries have a large population in the world.

  12. Anonymous users2024-01-31

    The per capita storage capacity is too low, the demand is very large, and the proportion of imports is also large.

    First of allFor nowChina is indeed an oil- and gas-poor country, as evidenced by the fact that in addition to its own exploitation, it imports huge quantities of oil and gas from East Russia every year.

    Secondly, it depends on the year of China to which the title "oil-poor country" applies, if this sentence refers to China before 1955. The meaning of this sentence is that at that time, foreign experts asserted that China did not have large oil fields, which made China bear the title of "oil-poor country", but with the development of the Karamay and Daqing oilfields, the "oil-poor country" declared before 1955 was overthrown.

    But if this "oil-poor country" is to describe China after 2012, then the term has another meaning. Although China's oil reserves are not too low, the average distribution to the population of 1.4 billion is somewhat small. After the turn of the millennium, China's development entered a period of **.

    The quality of human life is gradually improving, urbanization and industrialization are building rapidly, and behind high-speed urbanization and industrialization, oil and iron are inseparable. However, China's local saturation and exploitation are far from meeting the oil needs of 1.4 billion people, not to mention that oil must be provided in high-tech industries such as aerospace and heavy industry. Secondly, the quality of China's oil is not as good as that of the Middle East, and many of China's oil are heavy oil, and the refining effect is not good.

    To sum up the above reasons, China is called an "oil-poor country".

    In terms of oil transportation content, China cannot be regarded as an oil-poor country. But on a per capita basis, China is an oil-poor country. The reason why our country wants to import oil from abroad is also for a strategic purpose, and if a war breaks out, maybe it will not be able to import oil from abroad, so we can only use local oil, otherwise it will be difficult to run out of oil.

  15. Anonymous users2024-01-28

    The main reason is that the quality of domestic oil is not very good, and oil is a strategic resource, so it is definitely not possible to exploit too much domestic oil.

    In addition, the small per capita quantity is also a reason, so it is imported.

    In terms of total reserves, China ranks among the top in the world and is a non-oil-poor country. In terms of per capita reserves, China is an oil-poor country.

    No, China also has a lot of oil, but there are many Chinese mouths and small per capita quantity, so I will think that my country is an oil-poor country!

    China used to be an oil-poor country, and during the previous war, China lacked oil, and it took a lot of trouble to ship it from foreign countries: but now China has extracted it itself and built oil factories, among which the Daqing Petroleum Factory is very famous, so China is now free from the bad news of poor oil.

    Just as China is both a big country with resources and a country with small resources, the total amount is large and the per capita is small.

    First of all, China is still very developed for some backward countries, and its national income is much higher than that of those backward countries.

    China's industry and military are also very developed, especially after entering the 21st century, China's high-speed rail, China's nuclear industry and China's 5G are at the forefront of the world.

    Therefore, many countries think that China is developed, and there is a certain reason.

    First, it is precisely because of their constant aggression and unbridled extortion that China is getting poorer and poorer.

    Second, their aggression has led to the displacement of more and more Chinese people.

  26. Anonymous users2024-01-17

    The aggression of Western countries in modern times is an important reason for China's poverty and backwardness, but China's isolation from the rest of the country and its lack of attention to development are also the main reasons.

    The invasion of China by Western countries in modern times led to China's poverty and backwardness, and the important reason was the influence of China's feudal system and capitalist society at that time.

    It's not an oil-poor country, China itself produces oil.

    China has a vast territory, a large population base, and is in the stage of socialist construction, so there are too many places that need to use oil, and the consumption is also large. As a result, there is an imbalance between supply and demand, and only imports can be made.

    The situation of the United States is similar, otherwise it would not have developed a Middle East strategy around the year 2000. The purpose is oil.
