Big News From My Country’s Oil Fields Breaking Historical Records

Bohai Oilfield's daily oil and gas production exceeds 100,000 tons of oil equivalent for the first time

The reporter learned from CNOOC Tianjin Branch that the daily oil and gas production of Bohai Oilfield, my country's largest offshore oil field, exceeded 100,000 tons of oil equivalent for the first time, operating at a high level of 100,000 tons of oil equivalent, setting a record high in more than 50 years of development and construction.

In addition, the Bohai Oilfield has steadily promoted the construction of major projects such as the Bohai Sea's first 100-billion-square-meter gas field and the Bozhong-Kenli Oilfield Group shore power project, and continued to promote the major scientific and technological research and achievement demonstration of "increasing production by 40 million tons", accelerating We will demonstrate the results of research on shallow water underwater production systems and accelerate the establishment and continuation of research on offshore deep well and ultra-deep well drilling and completion technology projects and other key tasks.

The Bohai Oilfield was founded in 1965 and is the birthplace of my country's modern offshore oil industry. In the past 60 years since it was put into production, more than 50 producing oil and gas fields and nearly 200 production facilities have been built. It is the main oil field with the highest output, largest scale and best efficiency in China's waters.

Tarim Oilfield's oil and gas production this year has exceeded 30 million tons

The reporter learned from PetroChina 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 my country's largest ultra-deep oil and gas field, 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.

·News link: The Tarim Basin ranks first in the country in ultra-deep oil and gas resources

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 strata.

The Tarim Basin, located between the Tianshan Mountains and the Kunlun Mountains, is the largest oil and gas basin in my country. The vicissitudes of geological movements have caused oil and gas to be buried deep under the snow peaks and yellow sand. After continuous efforts, two trillion cubic meters of atmospheric areas have been established here. and 1 billion ton large oil areas. The total resources of the Tarim Basin exceed 20 billion tons, accounting for more than half of the country's ultra-deep resources.
