Since 2008 National Key Science and Technology Major Project of the Year “ Development of Large Oil and Gas Fields and Coalbed Methane ” Since the launch of the special initiative, China has achieved steady growth in oil production and made breakthroughs in natural gas production. Crude oil production has... 2007 of the year 1.85 Steady growth to hundreds of millions of tons 2016 of the year 1.98 100 million tons, continuing to maintain its position as the world’s fifth-largest oil producer; natural gas production from... 2007 of the year 677 Yi Fang rapidly rises to 2016 of the year 1371 Yifang has become the world’s sixth-largest gas-producing country.

At the recent press conference on the National Key Science and Technology Major Project for the Development of Large Oil and Gas Fields and Coalbed Methane, Li Fanrong, Deputy Director of the National Energy Administration, stated that since the launch of the project, China has made significant progress in six major areas: onshore oil and gas exploration, onshore oil and gas development, engineering technology, offshore oil and gas exploration and development, overseas oil and gas exploration and development, and unconventional oil and gas exploration and development. As a result, six major technology series have been established. 20 Developed several key technologies. 13 A major piece of equipment has been built. 22 With this demonstration project, China’s oil and gas exploration and development have entered a new era of innovative growth.

Li Fanrong said that China's proven oil reserves have been continuously... 9 Exceeds the year 10 Hundred million tons—proven natural gas reserves continue... 5 Exceeds the year 5000 Yi Fang. “ 13th Five-Year Plan ” During this period, the focus will be on three major areas of oil and gas exploration and development: onshore deep formations, deepwater offshore areas, and unconventional oil and gas resources. We will innovatively establish a number of groundbreaking theories, advanced technologies, and cutting-edge equipment that will lead the technological development of China’s petroleum industry and wield significant international influence. By— 2020 Achieve the overall strategic goals for oil and gas development in full this year.

Jia Chengzao, chief technical advisor for the special project and an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, stated that since the launch of the special project, China’s cumulative proven geological reserves of natural gas have doubled, from... 2007 of the year 6.1 Trillion cubic meters rising to 2016 of the year 12.98 Trillion cubic meters, world ranking No. 14 Position rises to No. 9 Position; the share of natural gas in the primary energy consumption structure has changed from... 3% Upgrade to 6%， “ 13th Five-Year Plan ” The lieutenant has been promoted to 8.3%~10% Making significant contributions to optimizing China’s energy structure and improving the environment.

Jia Chengzao introduced that since the launch of this special initiative, China has achieved substantial breakthroughs in exploration and development technologies for marine and deep-layer natural gas, reaching into the deep sea and deep earth. “ Find gas ” A number of large-scale gas fields have been discovered and developed. China has made significant progress in key technologies and equipment for deepwater exploration and development in its marine areas, aided by... 3000 The Mi Deepwater Semi-Submersible Drilling Platform has discovered Lingshui in the northern South China Sea. 17 – 2 Among the major gas fields, we have successfully developed Liwan, the South China Sea’s first deepwater gas field. 3-1 , built production capacity 80 Yi Fang.

Significant breakthroughs have also been achieved in the exploration and development technologies for unconventional natural gases such as tight sandstone gas and shale gas. “ China’s shale gas development technology has already reached an internationally advanced level, and the next step will be to focus on reducing costs. ” Jia Chengzao said. In addition, significant progress has been made in the theory of deep natural gas accumulation and its supporting technologies, as well as in the theory and technology for exploration and development of natural gas in carbonate rocks.

Jia Chengzao stated that, “ 13th Five-Year Plan ” During this period, China’s natural gas consumption will continue to grow. The special program for oil and gas exploration will continuously innovate and develop China’s geological theories and key exploration and development technologies for marine, deep-layer, deepwater, and unconventional natural gas resources. It will also lead to the discovery and development of a number of large-scale gas fields, providing the theoretical and technological support necessary for sustained growth in natural gas reserves and production, and further promoting the optimization of the nation’s energy structure as well as the steady and sustainable development of the national economy. □ (Zonghe)
