Since the end of 2011, Iran held many times and a number of military issued a warning, as the oil exports sanctions by the west, will be blocked off global oil transport strategy throat HuoErMuZi strait, thus triggering of Iran's nuclear program, the energy crisis the problems of the worry.
In the energy strategy, strategic petroleum reserves are important component. Strategic petroleum reserve is coping with short-term oil supply shocks (mass to reduce or interruption) one of the effective ways.
The strategic petroleum reserve 150 days
Strategic petroleum reserve system originated in the 1973 Middle East war. At that time, because Opec oil producer in the western developed countries to make oil embargo, developed countries to set up the international energy agency. Member states have oil reserves, in response to the oil crisis. At present the United States, Japan, Germany, France and other developed countries of the strategic petroleum reserve days are up to 90 days or more. The United States is now the world's largest oil reserves countries, and has now reached 727 million barrels, the highest level of history, its and Japan's strategic oil reserve days are up to 150 days or more.
China's strategic oil reserve 30 days
China's oil reserves construction lags far behind, compared with the developed countries start later. January 17, 2010, national energy board first been director said, our country has accomplished all strategic oil reserve a phase of the project. It is reported, the first four oil storage base zhenhai, zhoushan, huang dao, dalian has been put into use, reserves of about 14 million tons. According to the British Reuters quoted industry analysis, the of the oil equivalent to more than 10 days of China's oil imports, plus domestic 21 days of imports commercial petroleum reserve capacity, that is, China's current storage capacity has reached 30 days of imports. In addition, China plans to build 2020 to complete all the work of the strategic petroleum reserve, a total of about 500 million barrels of reserves will be built, roughly equivalent to 90 days of oil imports, will reach the world's second.
But according to the British report, China is the world's second largest oil importer, second only to the United States. Continuous unrest in the Middle East, the global energy supplies, to speed up the pace of China's oil reserves.
Oil import source is too centralized
However, as China's energy dependence on foreign rising energy comes from the economic risk has become China's economic security is one of the biggest risk.
The customs general administration in January, according to figures released in 2010 whole year the our country to import crude oil 239 million tons, 200 million tons of crude oil output last year, external dependence approaching 55%. And according to the prevailing international viewpoint, if one country's dependence on oil imports 50% or more that the country has entered the energy warning period.
In addition, China's oil imports is an important characteristic of import source very concentrated, mainly from the Middle East and Africa. The Middle East, Africa once produce war, crude oil supply chain interrupt, no doubt, will give our economy caused great damage.
Increase "overseas to find oil" strength
Industry experts emphasized, no matter from the domestic market or from external environment to see, speeding up China's oil reserves system construction "urgent". Xiamen university Chinese energy, director of the center for economic research LinBoJiang Suggestions, insure domestic energy supply can be increased by "overseas to find oil" efforts. An oil change between China and Russia loan agreement is a move, the direction of Russian provide $25 billion loan, in exchange for Russia twenty years a total of 300 million tons of crude oil supply, LinBo strong to its image called "contract reserves". Cnooc energy economic institute chief energy researcher said order, take trade forms of contract once cooperation can be a basis of nutrition. This undoubtedly than FenEYou come by spectrum.
