January 17, the National Development and Reform Commission Zhang Xiaoqiang, deputy director of China's economy in the first annual meeting, said China's imports of crude oil last year, about 204 million tons, up about 14%, China's oil consumption, import dependency reached 52%.
This is Fang Jian forecasts. 20, the Chinese Academy of Sciences, China University of Petroleum, Foreign Economic and Trade University, Xiamen University, director of the domestic four Energy Research Center agreed that in 2009 China's dependence on foreign oil for the first time more than 50% of the cordon.
National Development and Reform Commission of Foreign Economic Research Institute, director of international economic cooperation, Zhang Jianping January 21 In an interview with "China's Sankei Shimbun," an interview, said, "In order to ensure energy security, look for oil in 2010 China Overseas momentum will be maintained and will be China 'going out' strategy to continue to play an important role. "
50%, this "international alert line", marking the oil consumption from the original mainly relies on domestic security, to mainly rely on imports to meet.
Despite international major economies are relatively high dependence on foreign oil, but crossed this "red line", China must remain vigilant. Chinese Academy of Sciences Center for International Energy and Security Studies, said Huang Xiaoyong, more than the warning line with last year's strategic oil reserve is not much relationship, but rather China's rapid economic development will determine the demand for rapid growth.
Data show that since 1993, China became a net oil importer for the first time since the dependence on foreign oil by 6% in the year 2008 has climbed to 49%. By 2009 more than 50% warning level, just spent more than 16 years.
Energy experts predict that the next five years will greatly increase in domestic oil demand, average annual growth will reach 4.9%. Difficult for domestic crude oil production in the next few years, with simultaneously increased.
"China's future energy demand is still great, but domestic oil production but has reached the peak. If no measures are taken, China's dependence on foreign oil and may even reach 70%." Xiamen University Energy Research Center Director Lin Boqiang said that as a development the energy consuming country, in the absence of the international oil pricing, will 70% of oil demand on the international arena, it is very unsafe.
Lin Boqiang told the "China's Sankei Shimbun" reporter, fundamentally speaking, China needs to intensify efforts to develop new energy sources, to find alternative energy sources. At present the main way is to allow Chinese oil companies go global, from the multi-channel access to foreign oil interests.
"In the future years, China's energy consumption will continue to grow. Resources, energy, high-tech and advanced manufacturing sectors will continue to be overseas investment of Chinese enterprises in 2010 the focus of direction." Zhang Xiaoqiang, deputy director of Development and Reform Commission said.
In fact, recalling in 2009 the tide of overseas mergers and acquisitions, the surging precisely based on China's oil-based energy companies and other enterprises. Generous, and forms involved in the practice of overseas oil interests last year to obtain clear results.
"This year will not change in this direction." Zhang Jianping told reporters, "technology for oil", "loans-for-oil", "market for oil" and other models will continue, and there will be "innovative."
Zhang Jianping referring to innovation is that the Chinese oil companies have started business with India and other developing countries to increase co-operation. Prior to this, more alone development or business cooperation with developed countries. For example, be regarded as "model also known as" Sino-joint development of oil and British Petroleum Rumaila field cooperation.
"Asia, Africa and Latin America will be the focus of the oil from overseas seeking goal." Said Zhang Jianping, in particular, especially in Central Asia.
Observer analysis, these relatively backward countries or regions rich in natural resources but lack of funds, and that the financial crisis is also a great blow to them. Many businesses and financial institutions have sold assets at a lower price or even the entire enterprise. The Government has also relaxed restrictions on foreign investment restrictions, the market more open.
"Much attention the world's oil industry in Iraq will also have a good chance this year." Sinopec Cao Xiaoxi, director of Economic Institute of Technology told the "China's Sankei Shimbun" reporter. It is understood that the Government of Iraq in the next 6 to 7 years, crude oil output from the current 2.5 million barrels to 600 million barrels. Chinese oil giant hopes of further gains.
In fact, China's oil giant, is already an olive branch toward the Iraqi region. In the first round and second round of bidding in the oil and gas fields are the figures of Chinese enterprises.
Zhang also said Energy Secretary, in order to ensure national energy security, by 2010 China plans to expand the use of overseas energy resources to strengthen the country with energy resources, practical cooperation. (Yan Qin)
