Abstract

The rapid development of deepwater and unconventional oil and gas has changed the world oil and gas market.To summarize the distribution of new exploration discoveries,it is one of the key means to understand the characteristic of the world oil and gas market and forecast the trend of the future exploration.The reserves from offshore discovery accounted for 90% of world newly increased reserves in 2012.The offshore in East Africa and Eastern Brazil have become the most important areas of reserves growth.There are continuous oil and gas exploration breakthroughs in the potential areas,such as Southern Caspian Sea and eastern Mediterranean,while rapid progresses in the strategic replacement areas,such as Barents Sea in Arctic.Meanwhile,the supply region of unconventional oil and gas has been formed in America.In order to enhance the technological innovation,it will become the main trend of oil and gas exploration to intensify the deepwater risk exploration and stick to the development of unconventional resources in the future.
