For a long time, China has relied on overseas imports to meet the supply of oil domestic demand. But after all, self-reliance can be reborn, and the current situation in the Middle East is unpredictable, if an accident occurs, China's oil imports will definitely encounter an impact, so in order to avoid being subject to Western countries in a critical period, China has always been committed to the improvement of domestic oil and energy extraction strength for many years.
Just a few days ago, China's petroleum exploitation has made another major breakthrough, located in the Tarim Basin of Xinjiang, Asia's first deep well successfully mined, of which the daily output of crude oil in the rotary exploration 1 well can reach 133.46 cubic meters, natural gas 48,700 cubic meters, the news of this news means that China's next giant oil and gas treasure extraction has officially opened.
It should be known that since the tarim basin oil and gas reservoir burial depth is generally 6,000 to 10,000 meters, 90% of the energy of the oil and gas reservoir is in ultra-deep depth. In the past, China did not have relevant exploration and mining technology, and now we have the ability to grab this treasure, how can we not excite the Chinese people. It is reported that the reserves of oil and gas reservoirs in the Tarim Basin can reach more than 60% of China's total onshore ultra-deep oil and gas resources.
This time, PetroChina broke through the "death line" of 8,000 meters deep well to open the first deep well in Asia, which is a new achievement, which will greatly alleviate the embarrassing situation that China is highly dependent on overseas countries in the field of petroleum energy. Yang Xuewen, general manager of Tarim Oilfield Company, said that the 8,000-meter ultra-deep oil and gas resources development potential is huge, and the initially proven resource reserves are 310 million tons of oil, 3.3 trillion cubic meters of natural gas, and about 3 billion tons of oil and gas reserves, which is of great significance to the rapid promotion of the West-to-East Gas Transmission project and the South Xinjiang Natural Gas Benefit project.
As the old saying goes, everything is hard at the beginning. China, which has taken its first steps now, will surely create more new achievements that will amaze both at home and abroad in the future. At present, China's 1 billion-ton Jimsar shale oil zone project is also in the stage of comprehensive development, and 36 drilling rigs have been used so far to successfully open 47 wells, of which 8 are available for oil exploration. Undoubtedly, in the near future, China will certainly be able to forge more powerful energy extraction technologies, so that overseas countries can no longer arbitrarily suppress China's development.
