Abstract: Covid-19 was raging worldwide in 2020. The OPEC+ production reduction agreement collapsed in March of the year. Those events seriously affected the global oil economy, leading to a substantial reduction of oil consumption and a serious surplus in oil supply. International oil companies dramatically reduced their investment cost. In the post-Covid-19 era, the United States, Russia, Saudi Arabia and even many other countries may join forces, further increasing the risks for the oil prices to fluctuate in a wide spectrum. China is facing a sterner challenge for its petroleum security. It is proposed to draw attention to the changing situation of global energy game and establish the rigid oil-saving mechanism at home. The efforts should be made for bringing about two “200 million tons” for domestic crude oil productivity and reserves. Meanwhile, it is necessary to establish “East Asia +” consumption alliance abroad to create an interest community of the new era and secure China’s energy supply through the efforts both at home and abroad.
