石油设备网讯 据世界能源网8月5日消息称，雷斯塔能源预计，与过去五年相比，未来五年在海上和陆上勘探钻井方面的投资将翻一番。传统的陆上需求将由亚洲、非洲和南美推动。
能源研究和商业情报公司表示，另一方面，欧洲将成为海上勘探的热点，主要是对挪威大陆架的投资。
在过去的几年里，传统的勘探钻井一直举步维艰，从2012年的3000口探井下降到2016年的900口，降幅高达70%。
油气勘探不仅受到油价下跌的制约，还受到美国页岩革命等其它油气行业重大变革的制约。
由于勘探活动少，已发现的资源不足以取代已生产的资源。
在过去的十年中，发现的液体量从2010年的290亿桶中大幅下降，最终达到了2016年发现的40亿桶。

Investments in Exploration Drilling to Double
Rystad Energy sees investments both in offshore and onshore exploration drilling doubling in the next five years, compared to the last five years. Conventional onshore demand will be driven by Asia, Africa and South America.
Europe on the other hand, will be a hot spot for offshore exploration, led by investments on the Norwegian Continental Shelf, the energy research and business intelligence company said.
In the past few years conventional exploration drilling has been on a rocky road, dropping from 3000 exploration wells drilled in 2012 down to just 900 wells in 2016 – a whopping 70% decrease.
Exploration has been constrained not only by lower oil prices, but also other major shakeups in the hydrocarbon industry such as the shale revolution in the US.
As a consequence of low exploration activity, discovered resources have been insufficient to replace produced resources.
The past decade has seen an immense drop in discovered liquid volumes from 29 billion barrels discovered in 2010, bottoming out at 4 billion barrels discovered in 2016.
