海洋油气勘探开发进入深水、超深水阶段,是全球油气资源供应的重要来源。从国际、国内两个层面,资源、技术、政策与企业行为多个维度,系统梳理相关研究成果,形成了全球深水油气勘探开发领域的综合认识。研究结果表明,深水油气盆地集中分布在被动大陆边缘,呈现“三竖两横”分布特征,资源潜力巨大;资源国政府、石油公司和油服公司等多类主体共同参与深水油气勘探开发的全流程多环节,政策体系、商业运作模式和技术装备能力日益成熟。研究认为,深水油气勘探开发面临重大机遇,政府部门和油气行业需高度重视,建议从政策支持、商业运作和技术发展多方面全向发力,积极应对。

 Offshore oil and gas exploration and development have progressed into the deepwater and ultra-deepwater phase, representing a crucial source of global hydrocarbon resources. This paper provides a systematic review of pertinent research findings at home and abroad, as well as across multiple dimensions including resources, technology, policy, and corporate behavior, to establish a comprehensive understanding of global deepwater oil and gas exploration and development. The findings indicate that deepwater oil and gas basins are predominantly located along passive continental margins, exhibiting significant resource potential. Governments of resource-rich countries, alongside oil companies and service providers, jointly participate in the exploration and development processes of deepwater oil and gas. The relevant policy frameworks, business operation models, and technical and equipment capabilities are becoming increasingly sophisticated and matured. The study indicates that deepwater oil and gas exploration and development are presented with substantial opportunities, warranting close attention from government agencies and the oil and gas industry. It is recommended that efforts be made from various perspectives, including policy support, business operations, and technological advancements, to proactively embrace these opportunities.
