At the beginning of the New Year, a batch of ultra-deep drilling in the hinterland of the Taklamakan Desert has been drilled one after another, and drilling over 6,000 meters is called ultra-deep wells. my country is accelerating the development of oil and gas resources into the deep part of the earth and building my country's largest ultra-deep crude oil production area in the Taklamakan Desert.
The man-shen 72-H6 well located in Shaya County, Aksu Prefecture, Xinjiang has just started drilling a few days ago, with a designed drilling depth of 8,735 meters.
Liu Haibo, head of the drilling team of the Bazhou Branch of China Petroleum Western Drilling: 1,000 meters drilled into the ground in 12 hours. Our challenge period for this well is 95 days.
The yellow sand in the hinterland of the Taklamakan Desert contains rich oil and gas resources, but these oil and gas are buried deep in the strata of seven or eight thousand meters underground, making it very difficult to mine. The implementation of this batch of ultra-deep drilling will accelerate the use of oil and gas reserves.
Zou Bo, technical backbone of the capacity construction department of China Petroleum Tarim Oilfield: The depth of the newly opened drilling wells is more than 8,000 meters, and the design depth of two wells exceeds 9,000 meters. We plan in advance and seek initiative to monetize production in 2025.
