The middle- to long-term prognostication of global energy demands is a key point to study the international energy strategy, so the results are directly related to energy planning and policies. This paper, based on comparison between IEA’s and EIA’s prognostication, presents a big warp between the prognostication and the actual consumption. A further study indicates that there exist unreasonable basic units and deficient methods. This paper, aiming at the problems, presents a new prognostication model system of energy demands which uses the basic prognostication unit that is based on economic-social development in countries, and applies the per capital energy demand and end-use energy demand together.

The traditional petroleum theory is helpful to search oil in sedimentary rocks. However, as oil-gas exploration has been intensively concentrated on sedimentary regions, the oil-bearing sedimentary regions become less and less. To look for oil in non-sedimentary areas caught more and more attention. This paper analyzes the oil-gas potential in the volcanic rocks worldwide, and studies the oil-gas reservoir formation conditions of volcanic rocks in basins. The volcanic-hosted oil-gas reservoir is normally located at the lower sequences, where with a low exploration but high potential shall be a new vital oil-gas exploration area. Some volcanic basins in circumPacific, Mediterranean sea and middle Asia are of good oil-gas reservoir-forming conditions, where can become the major areas for volcanic-hosted oil-gas.

As China moves towards the heavy industrialization, a huge demand of iron ores has been triggered in domestic markets. So far China’s iron ore import depends heavily upon three countries, and the global iron ore export markets have been monopolized, leading to a loss in negotiation rights in international iron ore markets. China is always in a passive status in iron ore trade which jeopardizes domestic economy. This paper analyzes the causes of price rise in importing iron ores and of losing rights to be rater, and presents approaches to the unfavorable situations.

Reserve Replacement Ratio (RRR) has been one of vital marks to scale the development potential of global petroleum companies, which must remain a rational exploration investment proportion. Since 1991, the global increasing exploration investment has driven the reserve, but this goes reverse since 2000. This paper, based on the global oil price, relation between investment proportion and RRR in major petroleum companies, presents that the exploration investment proportion shall be around 20%, which can balance the reserve and mining; if it reaches 25~30% it is very advantageous for petroleum companies to keep a stable RRR and sustainable development, and could lead to an unbalance of reserve and mining if lower than 20%.
