摘要:

我国古代劳动人民在生产实践与观察自然现象中,很早就对油、气有所认识。我国是世界上最早发现和利用油、气的国家之一。远在公元前十一世纪—公元前七七一年西周时期的《易经》中,就记载了“泽中有火”的现象,可能就是油气在水上燃烧所致。公元初班固首次记述了天然气:在陕西省“鸿门(今神木县西南),有天封苑火井祠,火从地出也”[1],同时也描写了延安延河上有石油(图版Ⅰ—1)。在十五世纪以前,四川盆地已普遍发现天然气,在十一世纪至十五世纪开始大规模用天然气煎盐,世界上开发最早的自流井气田,远在十三世纪已大规模投入开采(图1)。

Abstract:

China is one of the pioneering countries in discovering and using oil andgas.The first gas field(Ziliujing gas field)in the world,for example,was developed in China.In the Western Zhou Dynasty of our country(from the 11th century B.C.to the 771 B.C.),oil and gas seepage——“firein swamp”was discovered.In ancient China,oil was called“oil in firewell”,“well-oil”,“fire oil”,“surphur oil”,“realgar oil”,“fierce-fire oil”,“naphtha”,“mud oil”,“crude oil”,“earth wax”,“stone lacquer”,“oil-water”,“paraffin”etc.;and gas was called“fire in well”,“well-fire”,“coal gas”,“fire dragon”,“fire spring”etc.Historic literature indicates that a lot of oil and gas shows weredistributed in 23 provinces,municipalities and autonomous regions of thepresent administrative division:1.Beijing,2.Shanghai,3.Tianjin,4.Sha-anxi,5.Sichuan,6.Hebei,7.Shanxi,8.Shandong,9.Anhui,10.Zhejiang,11.Jiangxi,12.Fujian,13.Taiwan,14.Guangdong,15.Guangxi,16.Hunan,17.Hubei,18.Henan,19.Yunnan,20.Xinjiang,21.Gansu,22.Liaoning,and 23.Heilongjiang.
