(WO) 能源劳动力与技术委员会发表声明，强烈谴责政府阻止在超过 1300 万英亩国家石油储备地进行石油和天然气钻探的举动，国家石油储备是美国能源安全的重要组成部分。
“停止现有租赁的决定是在地缘政治不稳定加剧的背景下做出的。由于市场已经处于紧张状态，这一行动将削弱我们的能源安全。”能源劳动力总裁蒂姆·塔普利说道。国家石油储备钻探的停滞将阻碍美国的能源生产，关闭美国最重要的能源资源之一，并取消数百个能源工人的长期工作岗位。我们现在最不应该做的事情就是剥夺美国人获得国内能源的机会。”
国家石油储备成立于1923年，专门作为国家石油供应的基石。预计蕴藏约 17 桶常规石油和 50 Tcf 天然气。
(WO) – The Energy Workforce & Technology Council released a statement strongly condemning the administration’s move to block oil and gas drilling across over 13 million acres of the National Petroleum Reserve, a vital component of the U.S.’ energy security.
“The decision to halt existing leases comes amidst a backdrop of increasing geopolitical instability. With markets already on edge, this action will diminish our energy security,” said Energy Workforce President Tim Tarpley. “Halting drilling the National Petroleum Reserve will hamper American energy production, shutting down one of the United States most important energy resources and canceling hundreds of long-term jobs for energy workers. The last thing that we should be doing now is removing Americans' access to domestic energy resources.”
Established in 1923, the National Petroleum Reserve was specifically designated to serve as a cornerstone of the national oil supply. It is estimated to hold approximately 17 Bbbl of conventional oil and 50 Tcf of natural gas.
