Where does the oil come from?

The formation of oil is no accident, but the product of long geological time. Millions of years ago, the remains of marine organisms were deposited on the seafloor and gradually transformed into oil due to high temperature and pressure. Understanding the origin of oil helps us cherish this precious resource and think about sustainable energy strategies. Only by understanding its ins and outs can we use it effectively, avoid over-exploitation, and ensure that future generations can enjoy clean energy.

Where did the oil come from?

The formation of oil is by no means a day's work, but after a long period of geological evolution. Millions of years ago, a large number of animal and plant remains were buried in an oxygen-deficient environment, and were gradually converted into oil under the action of high temperature and pressure. Understanding the formation of oil helps us cherish resources more and actively seek sustainable energy alternatives. This is not only about energy security, but also about the sustainable development of the earth.

Can oil be mined in Taiwan?

Taiwan is rich in geological resources, and oil exploration is no empty talk. Although no large-scale reserves were discovered during exploration in the past, technological advances in recent years have made detection methods more precise. Active investment in research, assessment of potential reserves, and international cooperation will help clarify the possibility of Taiwan's oil self-sufficiency. Only through continued efforts can we find answers and ensure energy security.

Has oil been discovered in Taiwan?

Taiwan’s oil reserves have long attracted much attention. Although exploration results were limited in the past, technological advances in recent years have made exploration methods more precise. The government should actively invest in supporting private enterprises to conduct more in-depth exploration and evaluate potential resources. Only through continued efforts can we unveil Taiwan's energy future and ensure energy security.

How many geological drilling holes are there?

How many geological drilling holes are there?

The number of geological drilling holes directly affects exploration efficiency and cost-effectiveness. Too few holes may lead to insufficient data, making it difficult to accurately assess stratigraphic structure and resource reserves, and increase the risk of subsequent development. On the contrary, having too many holes wastes resources and increases costs. Therefore, it is critical to accurately assess the number of holes required, taking into account geological conditions, expected resource volumes and budget constraints. Professional drilling planning can effectively improve the exploration success rate and ensure maximum return on investment.
