Progress and Suggestions on CNPC’s Multinational Oil and Gas Exploration and Development

Abstract

Abstract: It is more and more difficult to find large conventional oil and gas fields worldwide in the past three decades. The offshore and unconventional oil and gas areas become the focus of exploration. Some national oil companies (NOC) have risen to become the main force for discovery of large onshore oil and gas fields. International oil companies (IOC) remain as the main force for discovery of large offshore deepwater oil and gas fields. Competition for global resources becomes more intense than ever. China National Petroleum Corporation (CNPC) has engaged itself in overseas exploration and development for 27 years and experienced three stages -- progressive exploitation, large-scale risk exploitation and rapid multi-element development. It has established five main oil and gas cooperative regions in the world. The overseas gross shared oil and gas production exceeded 1×108t oil equivalent in 2019, decreasing 6.7% of integrated import dependency (IID) in China and making important contribution for the country’s energy security. Facing a series of challenges, such as more intense international competition, complicated investment environment and harsh contract conditions, CNPC should expand its efforts to open up new projects, focus on the Belt and Road Initiative, increase investment for deepwater conventional oil and gas exploration and development projects and carefully involve itself into the unconventional projects. In addition, the company should increase technological investment, enhance operation of exploration assets, improve economic performance of the exploration projects, launch risk exploration fund, and step up multi-company joint operation.

摘要： 近30 年来，全球发现常规大油气田的难度加大，海上和非常规油气成为勘探热点。一些国家石油公司先后崛起，成为陆上大油气田发现的主力军，跨国石油公司是海上深水大油气田发现的主力军，世界资源争夺更加激烈。中国石油天然气集团有限公司跨国勘探开发经过27 年的快速发展，经历了滚动勘探开发、大型风险勘探开发、多元化快速发展3 个阶段，已在全球建成五大油气合作区，2019 年海外权益油气产量超过1×108t 油当量，降低了我国油气综合对外依存度6.7%，为保障国家能源安全做出了重要贡献。面对更加激烈的国际竞争、复杂的投资环境、苛刻的合同条件等挑战，中国石油需加大新项目开拓力度，以“一带一路”为重点，加大深水常规油气勘探开发项目投入，慎重进入非常规项目，加大科技投入，加强勘探资产运作，提高勘探项目创效性，建立风险勘探基金，加强多公司联合作业。
