As we all know, our country is a big oil and crude oil consumer, and we can know from the data in 2020 alone that China's crude oil consumption has reached nearly 650 million tons in 2020. And 70% of these crude oil bonuses are needed to be imported from abroad. Therefore, the number of imported crude oil in our country every year is still quite huge.
According to relevant data, our country will consume 649.65 million tons of crude oil in 2020, of which 466.3 million tons of crude oil imports and more than 70% of crude oil imports. Our country's dependence on imported crude oil is relatively high, which on the one hand can also reflect the weak self-sufficiency of crude oil in our country, and on the other hand, it also shows that the channel of crude oil import is very single.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="35" > the size of the world's oil fields</h1>
Based on the relevant data, we can understand that the main import routes of crude oil in our country are concentrated in 4 regions. Russia, the Middle East, West Africa and South America, it can be said that this situation is not a good phenomenon, this situation is less resistant to risks, if there is an emergency, our crude oil transportation roads have been blocked or suppliers have problems.
Crude oil import dependence is not a good thing, after all, the current source of crude oil imports in China is relatively single, most of the crude oil is imported from the Middle East and Russia, and the vast majority of crude oil imported from the Middle East is through the Strait of Malacca, once this route is blocked, it will have a very big impact on China's crude oil supply.
This will bring great risks and shocks to our country's crude oil supply system and production system. It is also in this consideration of development that our country has been strengthening the exploration of crude oil, and gradually, more oil storage areas in various regions of our country have been discovered.
In May of this year, after six years of sustained efforts, our country discovered a large oil field in the Taklamakan Desert region of Xinjiang. This oil field is equivalent to the level of 1 billion tons, but from this amount, it can be said that it is quite a lot, at least it can provide us with it for a long time.
However, what kind of ranking is the 1 billion-ton oil field in the world? Of course, our country is a country with very rich oil and mineral resources in the world, but from the perspective of the storage capacity of a single oil field, it can be said that there are very few large oil fields in our country that can rank in the forefront of the world.
In terms of figures, the scale of the 1 billion-ton oil field is already very large, enough to be exploited for many years. However, from the perspective of the world, the scale of this oil field is not high, and the Daqing Oilfield, the largest oil field in our country, is only ranked third in the world. First, let's take a look at the top oil fields in the world and compare them.
At the top of the list is, of course, the Gawar field in Saudi Arabia, which has a known reserve of 10.7 billion tons and an annual production of 280 million tons, which is quite huge. In second place is Kuwait's Greater Burgan Oilfield, with a known oil reserve of 9.9 billion tons and an annual production of 70 million tons, and our country's Daqing oilfield ranks third, with a known reserve of 5.67 billion tons from the discovery of the last century to the present.
The next in the tenth place is the Arabian Zakum oil field, which also has a reserve of 1.6 billion tons. Through these rankings, we can also intuitively see that the new 1 billion-level oil fields found in our country in the Taklamakan Desert are large in scale and high in the world, but they can only be at the upstream level, but they cannot be regarded as top large oil fields, and there are many regions that are far beyond this scale.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="34" > second, the size of the Fuman oilfield</h1>
The new oil field discovered in the Taklamakan Desert is named Fuman OilField, and it can be said that this oil field cannot be regarded as a better oil field in the world in terms of scale and difficulty of exploitation. Of course, the scale and reserves of this oil field are not as good as the major oil fields in the world, and it is also more difficult in the difficulty of exploitation.
Although the reserves of oil fields in the Taklamakan Desert in Xinjiang are large, the burial depth of this oil field is very high. It can be said that the drilling depth of the general oil field is between 6-7 kilometers, which is already relatively deep and difficult to exploit. The main reserves of the Fuman oil field are nearly 8,000 meters underground.
It can be said that although the scale of this oil field cannot be called a top-notch existence in the world, it is the deepest oil field in the world in terms of the depth of exploitation. To date, the Fuman oilfield has been the deepest buried oilfield in the world, and the largest carbonate volatile reservoir.
It can be said that the difficulty of exploitation of this oil field is among the highest in the world. Today, Tarim Oilfield has overcome the technical problems of high-end technology and high-quality seismic data processing and collection technology and ultra-deep and complex carbonate well laying. This has increased the success rate of our new wells from 75% to 95%, and the overcoming of this technical problem will also greatly promote the high-efficiency development of ultra-deep oil and gas in desert areas.
It can be said that within the current scope of international unification, there is also a so-called "death line" for oil exploitation, that is, a depth of 8,000 meters. When the mining range exceeds the range of 8,000 meters, whether the survey begins to be mined, the difficulty will increase exponentially, so there are many people who will exceed the "death line" of the oil deposits as "chicken ribs", because they can only have but cannot obtain.
However, in recent years, our country has continuously overcome technical problems in various exploration fields, especially based on the actual situation of deep burial of oil minerals in our country, and has continuously developed oil exploration technology and deep well drilling technology in recent years. Gradually overcoming various technical difficulties, the record of the completed drilling depth is constantly being broken.
This year's Tarim Basin oilfield has completed 8882 meters of deep well drilling, which has created history in deep well drilling in the world's oil fields, far ahead of the world. However, it is precisely because the drilling depth of this oil field has reached more than 8 kilometers, which also makes it more difficult to exploit this oil field, and the cost of exploitation is also very high.
Compared with the superficial oil fields in other regions such as the Middle East and Russia, it is not comparable at all. It can be said that most of the oil fields in the Middle East have a distribution burial depth of less than 4 kilometers, and even the drilling depth of Saudi Arabia does not exceed 2200 meters, and the extraction cost is very low. Therefore, the current cost of oil extraction in many parts of the Middle East is only 10-15 US dollars, while the cost of extraction per barrel of oil in China will reach more than 40 US dollars, or even 50 US dollars.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="33" > third, the impact status of the Fuman oilfield</h1>
With the gradual discovery of oil and gas reservoirs in the survey of our country over the years, we have gradually figured out the general address law. In the Fuman oilfield area, our country has drilled 56 100-ton wells in a row, and has also found a 1 billion-ton oil-scale reserve area, which has become the largest discovery in oil exploration in the Tarim Basin in the past 10 years.
At present, our country has accumulated 400 million tons of oil and gas tertiary geological reserves, and this year's plan is to implement more than 500 million tons of oil and gas tertiary reserves. Today's Fuman Oilfield has taken 6 years from discovery to development and use, and crude oil production has gradually increased from more than 30,000 tons to 1.52 million tons today, and it is expected to produce 2 million tons of crude oil this year.
With the frequent success of this year's Fuman Oilfield Survey, the 11 wells that have been completed today have obtained high production of more than 100 tons, of which the full depth of 3 wells has obtained a daily oil and gas output of more than 1600 tons, which has promoted the high-quality start of the Tarim Basin: 14th Five-Year Plan "Ultra-deep Oil and Gas Exploration". Therefore, the discovery of the Tarim oil field is very important for our country.
Although it is said that the newly discovered Fuman ultra-deep oil field may not be exploited in recent times, and the difficulty and cost of exploitation are also quite high. However, having such a large oil field with large reserves will play an important role in supporting China's oil combat readiness reserves.
Even a 1 billion-ton oil field, according to the amount of oil that our country needs to consume 350 million tons per year, is enough for our country to use for two or three years. The second is that at the time of the death of this year, China's Tarim Basin has completed a rotation exploration 1 well, and has completed the well depth of 8882 meters, which is deservedly the first deep well on land in Asia.
This is also a huge breakthrough made by China in the field of technology, overcoming a series of problems such as storage ultra-deep, ultra-high pressure and high temperature, etc., and coordinating in all aspects of drilling speed, completion and production, etc., creating seven records of the deepest well on land in Asia, the deepest oil and gas, and so on. This also marks that the ultra-deep drilling technology of Tarim Oilfield has been in the leading position in the world.
So our national government is fully confident and capable of exploiting this new oil field. And this oil field itself is in the territory of our country, even according to the current technology, can only be exploited to about 40%, but it can still become our country's oil strategic reserves. Because our science and technology is constantly developing and progressing, non-renewable resources such as oil should be well protected and utilized.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="30" > conclusion</h1>
Oil resources are a very important resource for our country, our country needs huge oil resources every year, and 70% of them are obtained by imports. It can be said that the discovery of each large-scale oil field is a valuable asset for our country, even if relying on the current technology can not be fully exploited and utilized, but we have enough reasons to believe that in the future time, with the development of science and technology, The Fuman Oilfield will definitely become a powerful resource mine in our country.
