Tarim Oilfield’s oil and gas production reached 33.53 million tons last year
In 2023, the oil and gas production equivalent of PetroChina's Tarim Oilfield will reach 33.53 million tons, a year-on-year increase of 430,000 tons, setting a record high. Among them, 7.55 million tons of petroleum liquids and 32.6 billion cubic meters of natural gas. This is the fourth consecutive year that Tarim Oilfield’s oil and gas production has exceeded 30 million tons and has maintained steady growth.
In 2023, the Tarim Oilfield has successively completed and put into production core oil and gas processing projects in the Bozi-Dabei trillion cubic meter ultra-deep gas area and the Fuman 1 billion ton ultra-deep oil area, achieving large-scale production and efficient development of ultra-deep and complex oil and gas fields. Build China's largest ultra-deep oil and gas production base.
A number of new technologies and equipment such as vertical drilling and high-density drilling fluid in Tarim Oilfield have broken through the "deep earth limit" and liberated a number of ultra-deep oil and gas reservoirs. In 2023, a total of 70 8,000-meter ultra-deep wells were drilled in the Tarim Oilfield, which is equivalent to the total number of 8,000-meter ultra-deep wells drilled over the years. At present, the number of ultra-deep wells drilled in the Tarim Oilfield accounts for more than 80% of the country's total, and the ultra-deep oil and gas reserves found account for 3/4 of the country's total.
In 2023, the Tarim Oilfield will supply more than 24.1 billion cubic meters of gas to the West-East Gas Pipeline respectively, and supply more than 6 billion cubic meters of gas to the five prefectures in southern Xinjiang for the first time, benefiting more than 400 million residents along the 15 provinces downstream of the West-East Gas Pipeline, covering There are more than 8 million people of all ethnic groups in 42 counties and cities in southern Xinjiang.
