“Jack No. 2″: the American Petroleum stunning discovery

eyes had been fixed on Middle East oil, the United States, now in their own doorstep found a giant oil field. U.S. oil giant Chevron announced on the 5th of this month, in the Gulf of Mexico may be found as high as 150 billion barrels of reserves in a major oil field, U.S. crude oil reserves are likely to result in increased over 50%.

international oil prices that day and yesterday, resulting in a dramatic correction to below 68 dollars then.

“Jack No. 2″ Jingxian

Chevron in the U.S. local time, Tuesday and another two partners, Devon Energy Corporation and Statoil jointly announced that in the Gulf of Mexico, called a “Jack No. 2″ deep exploration of up to 30 billion barrels of discovered reserves to 150 million barrels of new oil fields.

Chevron said, “Jack No. 2″ deep drilling depth of 8452 meters. Sunrise is currently testing the well during the more than 6,000 barrels of oil, higher than the market had expected.

“This may be the U.S. oil industry, a generation time of the largest new oil fields discovered.” Chevron is responsible for deep exploration of Paul Siegle said, “Jack No. 2″ will be the U.S. oil exploration in the history of “an important milestone,” he Gulf of Mexico region, expressed optimism about the prospects for oil exploration. According to the U.S. “Wall Street Journal” saying that this is likely to be the U.S. oil industry since the 1968 discovery since Alaska’s Prudhoe Bay, the biggest oil field discovery.

the U.S. Gulf of Mexico region is an important energy base of the United States of its crude oil production accounts for about 25% of country’s total output. Given the region’s geological formations suitable for reserves of crude oil, currently including the United States, Exxon - Mobil Oil, British Petroleum and a number of international oil giants are all here for exploration.

large positive

hundred years was announced the same day, sitting on the field, 50% of the shares of Chevron stock price rose 1.51 U.S. dollars will be, to close at 66.34 U.S. dollars, while smaller companies Devon Energy has a 25% of the interests, but also a valuable commodity of time that day, shares rose as high as 12%.

findings to other oil companies may not be considered as a good thing. As the original in the Gulf of Mexico under the threat of hurricanes Katrina and Rita caused oil prices soaring, the Gulf of Mexico, a major oil discovery reckon will drop.

the New York Mercantile Exchange, in October the day of light crude fell 58 cents to close at 68.60 U.S. dollars. To reporters before and after the deadline, in electronic trading in New York in October crude oil futures price is below 68 U.S. dollars, hovering around 67.80 U.S. dollars, the highest since the lowest level since June. Yesterday, while London Brent crude fell 81 cents intraday, stay in the vicinity of 67.28 U.S. dollars.

However, the United States on imported oil addiction in terms of, this discovery can be said to be a major positive hundred years. Once the estimated 150 billion barrels of proven reserves have been the final, it will mean throughout the United States resulting crude oil reserves increased by 50% or more. 293 billion barrels, this is after all the accumulated resources of the U.S. oil industry.

In fact, since the last century, 60 years found that Alaska’s Prudhoe Bay oil field, the United States has been in oil exploration for 40 years on the long-lost any major gains. Chevron is release pronouncements, if the new successful exploitation of proven reserves, its capacity may even exceed the Prudhoe Bay oilfield, the largest U.S. oil field.

“This is a very positive sign, but it can not change the U.S. crude oil production and oil consumption, large gaps between.” energy consulting firm’s chief executive officer Harold Smith commented that the United States in any case will remain an energy more than 50% dependence on foreign countries. For the last century, before the executive leaves the world’s crude oil production had become the leader of the birth of numerous oil-king of the United States, self-sufficiency is the past.

Even if dependence on foreign energy will remain as high as 50%, but two-thirds of the current crude oil imports by the United States is a huge step forward. U.S. daily consumption of more than 2000 million barrels of oil, accounting for about a quarter of total global consumption, imports from the Middle East will account for 1 / 4. U.S. President George W. Bush called on from the front of the stage began, the U.S. oil industry should change their thinking, and more to take a look at the door.

库尔最大的油田，在美国发现的国际市场石油价格大幅下跌

“杰克2号”：美国石油惊人的发现

眼睛一直对中东石油的固定，美国，现在在自家门口发现了一个巨大的油田。美国石油巨头雪佛龙公司在本月5日，在墨西哥湾可能高达150亿桶石油储量高发现的主要油田，美国原油储量可能导致超过50％的增长。

国际油价当天和昨天，导致出现大幅回调至低于68美元，然后。

“杰克2号”泾

雪佛龙在美国当地时间星期二，另外两个伙伴，Devon能源公司和挪威国家石油公司共同宣布，在墨西哥湾，被称为“杰克2号”深海勘探最多已发现储量30亿桶至150万桶的新油田。

雪佛龙说，“杰克2号”的8452米深海钻探深度。日出目前正在测试的过程中以及石油超过6000桶，高于市场预期。

“这可能是美国石油工业的一个最大的新油田新一代及时发现。”雪佛龙公司的保罗西格勒深层勘探负责人介绍说，“杰克2号”将在“历史上一个重要的里程碑，美国石油勘探，”他对墨西哥湾地区，关注石油勘探前景表示乐观。据美国“华尔街日报”说，这很可能是美国石油工业自自阿拉斯加的普拉德霍湾的油田发现的最大的1968年发现。

的墨西哥湾地区是美国墨西哥湾的原油产量占美国重要的能源约25全国总产量的％基地。鉴于该地区的地质构造的原油储量合适的，目前包括美国，埃克森-美孚石油公司，英国石油公司和一些国际石油巨头都在这里进行勘探。

大型积极

百年宣布同一天，坐在场，雪佛龙50股价％的股份上涨1.51美元将，收于66.34美元，而较小的戴文能源公司拥有25 ％的权益，也是有价值的商品的时间，当天，股价上涨了高达12％。

结果其他石油未必是件好事公司认为。由于在墨西哥湾在卡特里娜飓风和丽塔威胁，造成石油价格飞涨，原来，墨西哥石油的重要发现，估计将下降海湾。

，纽约商品交易所10月份轻质原油当天下跌58美分，收于68.60美元。之前和之后的最后期限记者，在纽约电子交易在10月原油期货价格到68美元，大约六十七点八零美元，这是自6月以来的最低水平最高徘徊。昨天，而伦敦北海布伦特原油期货盘中下跌81美分，停留在67.28美元附近。

然而，对进口石油的依赖美国的国家而言，这一发现可以说是一个重大的积极百年。一旦估计有1.5亿美元的石油探明储量已决赛，这将意味着整个美国造成的原油50％或以上的增长储备的国家。 293000000000桶，这毕竟是美国石油工业积累的资源。

事实上，自上个世纪，60年来发现阿拉斯加普拉德霍湾的油田，美国在石油勘探已有40失传已久的重大成果年。雪佛龙公司发布的声明，如果新探明储量的成功开发，其能力甚至可能超过普拉德霍湾油田是美国最大的油田。

“这是一个非常积极的迹象，但不能改变美国原油生产和石油消费大差距。”能源咨询公司哈罗德的首席执行官史密斯评论说，在任何情况下，美国仍将是能源的50％以上依赖外国。在过去的世纪里，长官离开前世界原油生产已成为众多石油诞生领先的美国，自国王自给自足是过去。

即使对国外能源的依赖仍将高达50％，但三分之二的电流美国原油进口量的三分之二，是一个巨大的进步。美国每天消费2000多万桶原油，约占总额的全球消费量的四分之一，从中东进口的占1 / 4。美国总统布什呼吁从前台开始，美国石油业应该转变思想，采取更在门口看。06.9.7
