There are people in the oil and August 3, said this year the company re-exploration in the Tarim Oilfield breakthrough discovery of a number of huge reserves of natural gas fields, including Great Northern, and grams of deep gas reserves of gas are 200 billion cubic meters.
"It is estimated (Great Northern gas) production, its daily output of single well can be more than 500,000 cubic meters of natural gas." The source said.
According to reports, the Tarim oil field production of crude oil in 2010 800 million tons, natural gas 17.4 billion cubic meters, is in its third major oil and gas oil; According to PetroChina's plan, the Tarim oil field in 2020 will reach 32 billion cubic meters of natural gas production to achieve 40 million oil-equivalent production.
The sources said that in 2000, is the discovery of reserves of 2,800 billion cubic meters of Kela 2 gas field, the State Department was officially launched natural gas project, currently this is known as "West Line" of the annual gas transmission capacity of 150 natural gas pipeline billion cubic meters, as the eastern, central provinces along the main source of gas supply.
August 2, the Ministry and the China Petrochemical Association released data show that domestic natural gas consumption is still growing rapidly, domestic consumption of natural gas, the apparent consumption amounted to 52.667 billion cubic meters, up 18.2 percent, while domestic natural gas production has given rise to increased speed slowed down, only the first half of the production of natural gas 51.38 billion cubic meters, an increase of only 7.3%; in order to meet domestic market demand, the first five months, China's natural gas imports increased sharply, reaching 7.8 million tons, an increase of 91.4%.
"We have built a second line connected to the connection with the West line, it has 120 billion cubic meters / year gas supply capacity, great northern gas fields and deep gas fields grams of newly discovered gas fields to provide adequate resources." The CNPC source said.
According to the sources, at present still in early development Tarim Oilfield, the geological reserves of oil and gas proved reserves account for only 20% of future oil will find more resources. (In spring)
