The Stakes:
The islets are surrounded by fertile fishing waters. In recent years, speculation arose of energy resources under nearby waters, but that hasn't been proven.
涉及利益:
岛屿周围有着丰富的水产资源。最近几年有传言说独岛附近水域的海底蕴藏有能源资源,但这一说法没有得到地质勘探的证实。
South Korea's state-run natural gas company says a 2007 survey found natural gas hydrate in waters near Ulleung Island, about 75 kilometers (40 miles) from the islets. Natural gas hydrate is a crystal compound that, when depressurized, converts to natural gas and water. Energy companies are still working on efficient ways to recover it.
韩国国有天然气公司说,2007年的一次勘探在距离独岛约75公里的郁陵岛(Ulleung Island)附近水域发现了天然气水合物。天然气水合物是一种结晶化合物,减压后就会还原成天然气和水。能源企业还在研究有效的还原办法。
In 2010, the South Korean national oil company, working with Woodside Energy Ltd. of Australia, identified geologic structures in the Ulleung area with significant volumes of gas or oil. But their first exploratory well came up dry and was closed earlier this year.
2010年,上述韩国国有石油公司和澳大利亚能源企业Woodside Energy Ltd.发现,郁陵岛地区的地质结构内拥有大量的天然气或石油。但它们的第一口勘探井一无所获,今年早些时候关闭。
