瑞典政府调查全面禁止钻探石油和天然气可能性

据国外媒体3月8日伦敦报道，尽管在本国国内发现了自己的石油，瑞典仍将依赖石油进口，主要是来依赖自俄罗斯的石油进口。

然而，令当地钻井公司深感沮丧的是，瑞典政府现在正在调查全面禁止钻探石油和天然气的可能性。勿庸置疑，钻井公司认为瑞典政府此举是一个错误的做法。

瑞典经济日报《瑞典工商日报》报道说，瑞典政府委托瑞典地质调查局（SGU）调查是否应禁止开发陆上石油和天然气。调查报告将在4月10日完成。引人注目的是，提议禁止的主要理由不是担忧在基岩的钻井作业引起的污染或环境危害，禁止的想法反而是逐步淘汰瑞典对化石燃料的依赖。

瑞典目前大约有50个已获得陆上钻井勘探许可证的油气藏，分布在瑞典的达拉纳省、哥特兰省、厄兰省和东约特兰省。

Sweden Strikes Own Oil, Yet Prefers to Import Russian Fuel

London

Despite having mapped oil resources of its own, Sweden continues to be reliant on oil imports (mainly from Russia). To the dismay of local drilling companies, the Swedish government is now investigating the possibility of a comprehensive ban on drilling for oil and gas. Needless to say, drilling companies believe this is the wrong approach.

The Geological Survey of Sweden, SGU, was commissioned by the government to investigate whether the exploitation of onshore oil and gas should be banned, the Swedish economic daily Dagens Industri reported. The report will be completed on April 10. Remarkably, the main reason for the proposed ban is not fears of pollution or environmental harm caused by drilling in bedrock. Instead, the idea of the ban is to phase out Sweden's dependency on fossil fuel.
