Oil is a very important resource and has a wide range of uses. Middle East Many countries export large amounts of oil to the world every year because of their rich oil resources, making a lot of money. China imports a huge amount of oil every year, most of which are imported from abroad. In many deserts in our country, oil reserves are also very rich. Why not mine them yourself but instead import them in large quantities?
According to data, in recent years, my country has imported more than 500 million tons of oil from abroad every year, as long as it is imported from Saudi Arabia , Russia, Iraq and other countries. Although my country also has many oil fields, it is far from meeting the growing domestic demand, and most of them are imported from abroad every year.
The northwest region of my country has large areas of deserts, and these deserts also contain rich oil resources. However, my country does not mine large-scale areas, but imports are mainly used. It is mainly because the climate conditions in the desert are too harsh and are not suitable for humans to live in, nor are humans working for a long time in the desert.
In the desert, it is relatively difficult to detect the exact location of oil and will consume a lot of energy. Moreover, a lot of oil is buried deep underground, reaching 5 or 6,000 meters deep from the ground, and it is very difficult to mine. Even if oil is mined in the desert, transporting a large amount of oil is a problem.
is transported either through pipelines or by train, which are difficult to achieve in the desert. The temperature difference between day and night in the desert is large, and the environment is relatively harsh. The dunes sometimes move continuously, so the conventional mode of transportation is not possible.
Also, oil is a non-renewable resource and it will be gone after it is used up. At present, my country is in a stage of rapid development and consumes a lot of oil. If it can be imported, it will definitely be better to import. When the technology becomes more mature in the future, it will not be too late to mine again, but it is actually equivalent to resource reserves.
is precisely because of various restrictions, so my country's oil is still mainly imported.
