To measure the foreign dependence of one country's economy and reflect its oil economic security, this paper defines the net oil import intensity as the ratio of net oil import cost to GDP. By using Divisia Index Decomposition, the change of net oil import intensity in five industrialized countries and five newly industrialized countries during 1971—2010 is decomposed into five factors: oil price, oil intensity, oil self-sufficiency, domestic price level and exchange rate. The result shows that the dominating factors are oil price and oil intensity; moreover, the newly industrialized countries have higher net oil import intensity than industrialized countries.展开更多

Currently, there are 29 non-state-owned companies engaging in crude import business. China oil market is .faced with severe challenges.

Therefore, guaranteeing crude oil imports is an important issue for the Japanese energy policy. To analyze the impact of a decrease in crude oil imports, two features of crude oil as an energy good should be taken into consideration, namely being a factor of production in the energy sector and feedstock in petroleum and coal products. This study uses the GTAP and GTAP-E models to evaluate the impact of the decrease in crude oil imports in Japan, applying the same methodology and exogenous values, and analyzes the difference of the simulation results between the two models. In Japan, crude oil is used in two sectors： as feedstock in petroleum and coal products, and as a factor of production in the electricity sector. When energy goods are used as feedstock, the GTAP model, in which energy goods are treated as intermediate inputs with fixed coefficients, is suitable for analysis. The GTAP-E model, which incorporates an energy substitution structure into the GTAP model, is, on the other hand, suitable for analyzing energy goods when they are used as a factor of production. Furthermore, this study uses both a static analysis and an analysis incorporating capital accumulation effects to evaluate short-term, as well as medium to long-term impacts. The simulation results clearly indicate that, in the GTAP-E model, when crude oil imports from the Middle East decrease, Japan attempts to increase its crude oil imports from other regions, but by less than in the case of the GTAP model. The results of this study show that, for energy goods used mainly as feedstock, such as crude oil, analysis with fixed coefficients presents more realistic simulation results than those using the energy substitution structure.展开更多

In this work,the calculation was done by using the energy return on investment（EROI） method. The results showed that the EROIstnd（i.e., standard EROI） of China’s oil and gas extraction decreased from approximately 17.3：1 in 1986 to 8.4：1 in 2003, but it increased to 12.2：1 in 2013. From a company-level perspective, the EROIstnddiffered for different companies and was in the range of（8–12）：1. The EROI2,d（EROI considering energy outputs after processed and direct energy inputs） for different companies was in the range of（3–7）：1. The EROI of imported oil（EROIIO）declined from 14.8：1 in 1998 to approximately 4.8：1 in 2014, and the EROI of imported natural gas（EROIING）declined from 16.7：1 in 2009 to 8.6：1 in 2014. In 2015, the EROIIO and EROIING showed a slight increase due to decreasing import prices. In general, this paper suggests that from a net energy perspective, it has become more difficult for China to obtain oil and gas from both domestic production and imports. China is experiencing an EROI decline, which demonstrates the risk in the use of unsustainable fossil resources.展开更多

Based on social network analysis and stochastic frontier gravity model, this paper studied the characteristic evolution and influence factor of oil import network between China and “Belt and Road” countries. Then by constructing a stochastic frontier gravity model including the crude oil future price and oil importing price, it found that the international crude oil future price, the oil importing price, the political situation, the trade agreements have the effects on the China's oil import from “Belt and Road” region. It provided suggestions for improving the spatial pattern of China's petroleum trade.展开更多

文摘为探究柠檬草精油对红火蚁的熏蒸活性,通过水蒸馏提取法+柱层析法对柠檬草精油进行提取和纯化,应用气相色谱仪−质谱联用仪(gas chromatography-mass spectrometry,GC-MS)对柠檬草精油及其不同馏分化学成分进行分析和鉴定,分别测定精油不同馏分及单体对红火蚁的熏蒸活性。结果表明,在100℃下,采用水蒸馏提取法提取2.0 h后从柠檬草中提取出了淡黄色柠檬草精油,提取率为1.02%。生测结果表明,柠檬草精油对红火蚁的熏蒸活性随着处理剂量的增加而增加,在400μL·L^(-1)时,LT50(lethal time of 50%)最小为0.197 h,且存在明显的亚致死效应。用柱层析法获得2个柠檬草精油馏分A1、A2。GC-MS分析发现,柠檬草精油和A1馏分中相对含量最高的成分均为香茅醛,分别为24.72%和31.75%;A2馏分的主要成分为香叶醇,其相对含量为23.54%。在相同剂量处理下,A1馏分的熏蒸活性最高,柠檬草精油次之。采用25.0和12.5μL·L^(-1)分别处理0.5和1.0 h后,香茅醛和D-柠檬烯对红火蚁的熏蒸活性均为100%,表明香茅醛、D-柠檬烯为主要活性物质。以上研究结果为防治红火蚁提供新的思路。
