本文使用石油行业所称的“第一石油”来考察全球开采区边缘不均衡的资源制造过程。它探讨了碳氢化合物前景的双重模糊性--既有地质上的模糊，也有市场尚未揭示的价值--如何产生石油生产特有的物质限制、停顿和挫折。这篇文章引用了圣多美和普林西比(STP)的人种学和档案资料，在圣多美和普林西比，勘探近海石油的多次尝试尚未将地质潜力转化为经济资产。它突出了某些认知做法和手段(合同、区域和油井)的不协调影响，旨在通过管理不确定性来促进第一次石油开采。因此，它们作为一种不确定物质的姿态发挥作用，这种物质的存在一直受到怀疑。
This article uses what the petroleum industry calls “first oil” to examine the uneven process of resource making on the margins of global zones of extraction. It explores how the double obscurity of hydrocarbon prospects—both geologically obscured and their worth not yet revealed by the market—generates particular material constraints, pauses, and setbacks characteristic of petroleum production. The article draws on ethnographic and archival material from Sao Tome and Principe (STP) where repeated attempts to explore offshore oil have yet to transform geological potential into an economic asset. It highlights the incongruous effects of certain epistemic practices and devices (contract, zone, and well) aimed at facilitating first oil by managing uncertainty. As a result, they work as gestures of an indeterminate matter whose existence has continued to be doubted.
