REGIONAL REPORT AUSTRALIA

摘要

The Asia-Pacific region is divided into nations of energy "haves" and "have-nots." Japan and South Korea are highly industrialized nations with virtually no oil and gas resources. China and India have substantial energy resources, but without imports they will not be able to cope with the expected rise in energy demand due to population growth and rapid industrialization. Malaysia and Indonesia are the traditional energy "haves" in the region, but are suffering from production declines in their mature fields.
