中国石化新闻网讯 据普氏能源资讯5月6日多哈报道，国际能源署（IEA）首席经济学家法提赫·比罗尔6日在多哈表示，今年全球上游石油生产投资将下降到大约1000亿美元，比2014年减少近20%，这是迄今为止最大的降幅。
　　比罗尔是在多哈接受媒体记者采访时发表上述讲话的。他说，1000亿美元中的最大部分是在美国、加拿大和巴西。
　　比罗尔说，特别是页岩油，投资下降率显著。由于投资决定对油价非常敏感，因此，投资决定必须在很短的时间内作出。
　　比罗尔说，在今年年初看到的价格水平上（大约每桶45美元），北美洲将不会有许多有利可图的项目。

　　Investment in upstream oil production down 20% on year in 2015
　　Doha (Platts)--6May2015
　　Global investment in upstream oil production this year is down around $100 billion, almost 20% lower than in 2014 and the largest drop ever seen, the International Energy Agency's chief economist Fatih Birol said Wednesday, May 6.
　　The biggest portion of this is in the US, Canada and Brazil, Birol told journalists in Doha.
　　"Especially for shale oil, the decline rates are very steep. Investment decisions have to be taken in a very short time, as they are much more price sensitive", Birol said.
　　"At the price level seen at the beginning of this year [around $45/barrel], there will not be many projects in North America that will be profitable," he said.
