Excerpts from the Remarks of Celestino Armas*
摘录了关于委内瑞拉常规和非常规原油储量的讲话，指出其常规石油可开采94年，非常规石油可开采360年，对研究石油资源寿命和能源政策有参考价值。
Allow me to briefly review Venezuela's existing energy potential. Our conventional crude oil reserves stand at 59 billion barrels, while our reserves of extra-heavy oil and natural bitumens are in the order of 260 billion barrels. At its present production rate, Venezuela holds conventional oil reserves for 94 years, while the life-span of its non-conventional crude resources is 360 years.
