An 8,000-meter Deep Well Was Drilled Within 100 Days. Tarim Oilfield’s Oil And Gas Production This Year Has Exceeded 30 Million Tons.

Reporters learned from PetroChina today (29th) that the annual oil and gas production of the Tarim Oilfield in Xinjiang exceeded 30 million tons, six days ahead of schedule in 2022, once again setting a new record for the fastest oil and gas production of 30 million tons.

As the largest ultra-deep oil and gas field in my country, Tarim Oilfield has accelerated the pace of construction of new ultra-deep wells. Since the beginning of this year, 131 new wells have been put into production, with daily oil and gas production capacity reaching 110,000 tons. A number of exploration breakthroughs have been made in new fields, new zones and new strata, and oil and gas reserves have maintained rapid growth.

Yang Xianzhang, Chief Geologist of PetroChina Tarim Oilfield Exploration and Development Research Institute: "Well Ketan 1" has made an important breakthrough in front of the South Tianshan Mountains, "Well Qatan 1" has made a historic breakthrough in the Pamir Plateau, and "Well Xiongtan 1" "An important breakthrough was obtained in the northern part of the Taklimakan Desert.

Since the beginning of winter, the Tarim Oilfield has made every effort to increase production and ensure supply. 609 natural gas wells are supplying gas to the downstream with an average daily production of 96.42 million cubic meters. Tarim Oilfield relies on two trillion cubic meters of reserves in the South Tianshan Mountains and has supplied more than 340 billion cubic meters of natural gas to the West-East Gas Pipeline Network.

An 8,000-meter deep well can be drilled within 100 days at the fastest possible time

Well 302-H9 located in the Fuman operating area was drilled recently, with a drilling depth of 8,221 meters and a drilling cycle of 98.71 days. This is the fourth 8,000-meter ultra-deep well in the Tarim Oilfield to achieve the goal of completing drilling within 100 days.

Li Xiaochun, engineer of the Production and Construction Division of PetroChina Tarim Oilfield: It took 10 years to drill the wells in the Tarim Oilfield from a well depth of 4,500 meters to 6,000 meters. It took more than 700 days to drill "Well Keshen 7". Now we can drill the 8,000-meter deep well in Fuman Oilfield in an average of 150 days.

The exploration and development of the Tarim Basin is a world-class problem. Among the 13 industry-recognized drilling and completion difficulty indicators, 5 of them rank first in the world. Tarim Oilfield has drilled 33 wells with a depth of 8,000 meters this year, and the drilling pace has accelerated across the board. my country's deepest drilling records and deepest oil and gas production records were both set here.

At present, my country's first Wanmike exploration well is drilling into the 10,000-meter formation. The drill bit will drill through 13 sets of formations in the Tarim Basin and eventually open the ultra-deep oil-generating layers in the Tarim Basin.

Zhang Yintao, senior expert at the PetroChina Tarim Oilfield Exploration and Development Research Institute: In the past ten years, more than 1,000 ultra-deep wells have been drilled in the Tarim Oilfield, and 90% of the discovered oil and gas reserves come from deep formations.

The Tarim Basin, located between the Kunlun Mountains in the Tianshan Mountains, is the largest petroleum-bearing basin in my country. The vicissitudes of geological movements have caused oil and gas to be buried deep under the snowy peaks and yellow sand. After continuous efforts, two trillion cubic meters of atmospheric areas and A billion-ton large oil area. The total resources of the Tarim Basin exceed 20 billion tons, accounting for more than half of the country's ultra-deep resources.
