Causes of natural gas shortage

Alberta is close to British Columbia (where Vancouver is located). It is a major energy province in Canada and is called "Sunshine Province". The sun shines all the year round. It covers an area of 660,000 square kilometers and has a population of 2.8 million.

I remember reading an article about Alberta, in which there was a passage: "If a province can walk around, Alberta will hold its head high, hold its head high and keep its eyes firmly fixed on the future." Yes, it has the best things in the world: fertile farmland, rich oil, natural gas and coal, interesting cities Calgary and Edmonton, and the majestic Canadian Rocky Mountains as a sports ground. "

The province has developed economy and is one of the richest provinces in Canada. It is also the province with the fastest economic development and the lowest unemployment rate. It is also the only province in North America with an annual government budget surplus, so it is more perfect than other provinces in all related welfare and public construction. In June 2000, the gross national product surpassed that of British Columbia, although the population of British Columbia was 6,543.8 million more than that of Alberta. According to the living standards of 60 states and provinces in the United States and Canada, Delaware, Alaska and Connecticut in the United States rank among the top three in personal income, while Alberta, which ranks first in Canada, ranks 18 and Ontario ranks 37th. Data from 1995 to 1997 show that the productivity of American states is 30% to 40% higher than that of Canadian provinces. Alberta is the most productive province in Canada, ranking 23rd among the fifty states in the United States, 30th in Ontario, and almost all other provinces are at the bottom. This shows that the economic strength of this province is by no means ordinary. One reason for the rapid economic development of this province is its abundant energy resources, and another reason is its superior investment environment and the lowest tax. Thereby attracting a large number of companies to invest.

Calgary Calgary Calgary Calgary has four distinct seasons. Because Calgary is close to the Rocky Mountains and its climate is greatly influenced by the Rocky Mountains, the climate in Calgary is very strange. Sometimes it snows in summer, and it is milder than other inland cities in winter. In winter, the warm wind blowing from the Rocky Mountains often causes the temperature to rise sharply within a few hours, which is +20 degrees during the Christmas period of 1999. The daytime of Christmas in 2000 is+10 degrees. The average temperature in July is 22.7℃, and the average temperature in October is -9℃ at 65438+/kloc-0. Although the temperature reaches -30℃ for several days every winter, the climate is pleasant for most of the winter, and it is generally maintained between+8 and-8. As far as climate comfort is concerned, it is the third largest city in Canada after Victoria and Vancouver. The temperature is pleasant in spring and summer. Calgary is attracting more and more immigrants with its unique charm of "not seeking the biggest, but seeking the best". Tomorrow we will tell you more about Calgary. Calgary is located in the south of Alberta, a western province of Canada, 200 kilometers north of Montana, USA. It's the first big city you see after crossing the Rocky Mountains, and it's an hour's flight from Vancouver. Calgary, also known as Niucheng, is1048m above sea level. Since 19 14 and 1948 discovered oil near Calgary, it has brought a lot of wealth to Calgary and promoted its rapid development. It has become one of the important cities in western Canada, the economic and cultural center and the largest city in Alberta. At present, with a population of 850,000, it is the sixth largest city in Canada and the second largest city in urban area, with an urban area of 72 1 square kilometer (the area within the Fourth Ring Road of Beijing is about 500 square kilometers, the population of Toronto is 2.5 million, the population of Chinese is 300,000, and the area is 632 square kilometers). Calgary has the fourth largest international airport in Canada. Calgary is the entrance to the Great Plains of Canada. To the west of the city is the majestic appearance of the Rocky Mountains, and to the east is the vast prairie. According to the comprehensive evaluation conducted by the United Nations based on national income, people's quality of life, education, health status, women's rights and interests, and vision for the future, Canada was rated as the most livable country in the world with 1992, 1994, 1995 and 1996. Among them, Vancouver, Toronto, Calgary and Montreal were rated as the best living cities in the world 15. 1986 The Winter Olympic Games was held here. Calgary is developing rapidly, but it is well planned. She is the most changeable city in Canada. She has the scale of a big city, but she has no shortcomings of other big cities. With developed economy, clean city appearance, smooth traffic, fresh air and simple folk customs, it is the city with the lowest crime rate in North America and the second largest city where major international companies in Canada are headquartered (Toronto is the first). Calgary's hot downtown sinks a little every month because of the new skyscrapers, the suburbs continue to extend in all directions, and the city constantly boasts the pride of civilization with public buildings.

Calgary, as the energy capital of Canada, has a certain status and popularity in North America. Due to the recent rise in oil prices, there are relatively many oil-related employment opportunities here, such as petroleum machinery, technology, engineering and chemical industry, and related mathematics and information industries. But there are also many opportunities for other majors, and the competition is far less fierce than that in Toronto. Ka Cheng is a rising star, and her greatest advantage is resources! Mainly oil and natural gas resources. Albania's oil and sand reserves are estimated to exceed all the oil reserves of Saudi Arabia. At the end of 1990s, oil companies invested heavily in the oil and sand industry in northern Albania (Shell, National Petroleum Corporation of Canada and Shunchi Company alone invested $654.38+00 billion). At the same time, due to the strong demand for natural gas in the past two years, the exploration and development of this industry is also very hot. More importantly, the demand for high-tech in modern oil and gas industry has greatly increased, providing a huge market and sufficient funds. Therefore, Calgary's IT industry is developing faster and faster, and gradually getting rid of the situation of relying on the oil industry. Although the geographical location of Calgary is not as good as that of many cities, it is also the best in the province, and the city is quite large, with no obvious defects. Calgary will develop even faster in the next four or five years.

One of the reasons is that Canada's economy depends on the United States, especially Albania's oil and natural gas are mostly exported to the United States. In recent years, energy shortage has caused great headaches in the United States. Bush has always advocated investing heavily in this industry. On the one hand, he comes from an oil family (Bush was a director of several oil companies before he entered politics), on the other hand, he really knows the importance of oil to the United States. Once a major crisis occurs in the Middle East one day, the United States will face an energy crisis. So the oil industry and IT opportunities will make Calgary's status higher and higher. It's just that everyone should be patient and be prepared, otherwise, no matter how many opportunities there are, others will have them.

The rapid economic development in Calgary attracts more than 20,000 "new immigrants" every year. Of course, most of the "new immigrants" who came to Calgary migrated from other cities in Canada. It can be said that Toronto attracts many new international immigrants because of its international fame, while Calgary attracts Canadians to settle here because of its understanding and rapid development. 1998, the floating population in Calgary accounted for 2.8% of the total population of Calgary, ranking first in Canada. I believe that the population of Calgary will soon exceed the million mark. The city's fiery economy has brought a lot of employment opportunities, and the current unemployment rate is only 4.8%. The education level of Calgary ranks first in Canada, with more than 59% people holding university degrees and the density of engineers and technicians ranking first in Canada.

This city can be said to be a city that embraces Canada's natural vitality with both hands. Calgary has four distinct seasons, and the average temperature in July is 22.7℃, 65,438+10-9℃, which is milder than other inland cities. In winter, warm winds from the Rocky Mountains often make the temperature rise sharply within a few hours, reaching +20 degrees last Christmas. Although the temperature will reach -30 degrees for several days every winter, the climate is pleasant for most of the winter, generally maintaining between +8 and -8. As far as climate comfort is concerned, it is the third largest city in Canada after Victoria and Vancouver. The temperature is pleasant in spring and summer. And I think the most attractive place is the sunshine here!

New immigrants can enjoy Alberta's health care plan, and there is no waiting period of three months from the moment they land. Another reason to attract new immigrants is that it is best to get a driver's license here. Even the written test and road test can be done in half a month. It takes at least one year in Toronto. Prices and house prices in Alberta are lower than those in other provinces. Because the business tax and purchase property tax in this province are both 0 (8% in other provinces). You can't help asking, if it's so good, why don't China people go? Actually, you just don't know Because there are more domestic newspapers and online publicity in Ontario and British Columbia. In particular, it has attracted a large number of immigrants from Hong Kong and Taiwan. In Calgary, Chinese account for 10%, and it has the second largest Chinatown in Canada and a large Chinese supermarket. There are large-scale China celebrations every Spring Festival. The China Cultural Center of this city is a tourist attraction in Calgary. There are many Chinese communities and churches in the local area. There is also a big China Library.

There are many scenic spots in the suburbs of Calgary, which provide good places for people's leisure and entertainment, including 1986 Winter Olympics venues, Grimborg Museum, Banff National Park and so on. Especially in summer, there are countless cultural festivals and music festivals. The annual "Western Calgary Celebration" also attracts tourists from all over the world. There are many interesting cow sculptures on both sides of the streets and squares in the city center.

The University of Calgary is a famous university in Canada. China has set up a new Consulate General in Calgary. Last year, Premier Zhu visited Canada, and Calgary was one of the four cities he visited.

Calgary is attracting more and more immigrants with its unique charm of "not seeking the biggest, but seeking the best".
