Oil and Gas Resources, Strategic Reserve System, Exploration and Exploitation, Storage, Emergency WarningAbstract
As an important strategic resource, hydrocarbon resources guarantee national energy security worldwide. As a major consumer of hydrocarbon resources, China urgently needs to establish a strategic reserve system to promote high-quality development. This paper analyses the current situation of China's oil and gas resources reserves and identifies existing problems. I propose that the technical level of exploration and exploitation should be upgraded through capital investment and technological innovation and the scale of storage should be expanded by optimizing the construction of reserve bases, enhancing the emergency warning capability of oil and gas resources by constructing an emergency plan system, and optimizing the specific operation strategies via legislation, administration, and commerce. Such efforts will provide policy references to guarantee China’s energy security.
