PetroChina Company Limited recently witnessed positive results from an exploration well in the Tarim Basin. PetroChina, a subsidiary of CNPC, has obtained oil and gas from the Zhongqiu-1 well, which is located in the north-west region of Xinjiang. The location has not been exploited yet.
The company achieved a natural gas flow of 330,000 cubic meters per day from the well. Moreover, it has attained 21.4 cubic meters of condensate per day from the well, which falls in the southern part of the Kuche trough. Tarim Basin is one of the largest sedimentary basins in China, spanning 560,000 square kilometers. The basin is expected to have probable reserves of 6 billion tons of oil along with 8 trillion cubic meters of natural gas.
Notably, the company intends to achieve 30 million tons of oil equivalent production per annum from the basin by 2020. The targeted production volume incorporates around 26 billion cubic meters of natural gas. The announcement of positive results from Zhongqiu-1 is expected to support China’s target of increasing domestic hydrocarbon exploration and production.
