Beijing, 21 Dec (China News Service) -- PetroChina announced on 21 December that at 00:00 on the 21st, the Tarim Oilfield in southern Xinjiang produced 6,000,100 tons of petroleum liquids and 30,159 million cubic meters of natural gas, with an oil and gas equivalent of 30,031,200 tons, and comprehensively built a 30 million tons of large oil and gas fields and a 30 billion cubic meter atmospheric area, further consolidating Xinjiang's status as China's large-scale oil and gas production and processing reserve base and onshore oil and gas strategic channel.
PetroChina said that in the past 31 years, tarim oilfield has fought a big offensive battle in oil and gas exploration and development, successfully developed 32 large and medium-sized oil and gas fields, and oil and gas production reached 5 million tons in 2000, exceeded 10 million tons in 2005, crossed 20 million tons in 2008, and reached 25 million tons in 2017. It has contributed more than 400 million tons of oil and gas production to the country, and has transported 268.8 billion cubic meters of gas to the west and east.
In recent years, Tarim Oilfield has based on large basins, looking for large scenes, deepening geological understanding, tackling key bottleneck technologies, and successively obtaining 24 new discoveries such as Mid-Autumn Festival 1 and Bozi 9, breaking through the three "dead lines" of oil and gas accumulation, engineering technology and benefit exploration, and finding rich oil and gas resources at depths below 8,000 meters.
PetroChina said that since 2020, in the face of the impact of the epidemic, Tarim Oilfield has unswervingly promoted the construction of large oil and gas fields against the trend. Asia's first deep well rotary exploration well 1 with a depth of 8882 meters obtained industrial oil and gas flow, opening up a new strategic succession field; full depth 1 well obtained high oil and gas flow, and a new oil and gas-rich fault with resources of 228 million tons was discovered; scientific organization resumed work and production, 133 new wells obtained high production, and the annual oil and gas production exceeded the plan, and the output reached a new high.
PetroChina said that with the start of the "14th Five-Year Plan", Tarim Oilfield will continue to implement the new development concept, promote high-quality development, strengthen risk exploration in new areas, grasp the concentrated construction of oil and gas-rich areas, and strive to reach 40 million tons of oil and gas production by 2025 and exceed 50 million tons by 2035.
