问题1.如果油价太低,石油就会被留在地下。低油价可能会导致石油产量迅速下降。油价较高会鼓励石油生产以及更多替代品的出现;而低廉的价格则会导致一系列的负面作用,间接导致石油产量更快下降。问题2.油价下跌已对页岩油开采和海上钻井产生影响。虽然已经有很多声音表示,美国页岩油的钻探即使在油价处于低位的情况下也能盈利,但是事实胜于雄辩。2014年11月,美国新的石油和天然气钻井许可证发放数量下降了40%。
Problem 1. If the price of oil is too low, the oil will be left underground. Low oil prices may cause the oil output to drop rapidly. Higher oil prices encourage the emergence of oil production and more substitutes, while lower prices lead to a series of negative effects that indirectly lead to a faster decline in oil output. Problem 2. The drop in oil prices has had an impact on shale oil production and offshore drilling. Although there have been many voices that the drilling of shale oil in the United States can make a profit even in the case of low oil prices, the fact speaks louder than words. In November 2014, the number of new oil and gas drilling permits issued in the United States decreased by 40%.
