Russia is gearing up for an oil boom on the same scale as the US, as the techniques that sparked the shale revolution are applied to Siberia’s deposits of unconventional oil, according to one of the country’s top oil executives.
俄羅斯一位石油業高管表示，俄羅斯將迎來一場規模堪比美國的石油熱潮，引發美國頁巖氣革命的技術正應用于西伯利亞的非常規石油儲量。
Leonid Fedun, vice-president of Lukoil, said Russia, the world’s second-largest oil producer after Saudi Arabia, will be able to maintain crude output of 10m barrels a day for years to come as output from West Siberia’s Bazhenov Shale offsets declines in its mature oilfields.
盧克石油公司(Lukoil)副總裁列奧尼德•費頓(Leonid Fedun)表示，僅次于沙特阿拉伯的全球第二大產油國——俄羅斯將有能力在未來幾年保持1000萬桶的原油日產量，來自西西伯利亞地區巴熱諾夫頁巖油田(Bazhenov Shale)的產量將抵消俄羅斯成熟油田產量下滑的影響。
But he said such an outcome hinged on tax breaks the government has promised for the industry. Ministers have proposed a waiver of Russia’s onerous mineral extraction tax for groups drilling in the Bazhenov.
但他表示，這一局面取決于政府承諾向該行業提供的稅收優惠措施。部長們已提出免除在巴熱諾夫鉆采的石油集團繁重的礦產開采稅。
Mr Fedun told the Financial Times that President Vladimir Putin’s goal of keeping Russian oil production at 10m b/d till 2020 was “absolutely realistic”, “but only if these fiscal innovations are introduced”.
費頓告訴英國《金融時報》，俄羅斯總統弗拉基米爾•普京(Vladimir Putin)提出的在2020年前將俄羅斯石油日產量保持在1000萬桶的目標“絕對切合實際”，“但前提是落實這些財政創新措施”。
Experts have long placed Russia at or near the top of the list of countries with the potential to replicate North America’s shale revolution. It has huge unconventional resources, a sophisticated oil industry and little of the environmental opposition that has blocked shale in some European countries.
長期以來，專家們一直將俄羅斯列在有可能復制北美頁巖能源革命的國家名單的首位或前列。俄羅斯擁有巨大的非常規資源，技術實力雄厚的石油業，同時幾乎沒有遭到環保組織的反對，此類反對阻止了一些歐洲國家開采頁巖資源。
