PetroChina Yumen Oilfield produces natural gas for the first time in 82 years

China's first natural oil base produced natural gas for the first time
.

On January 18, Jiemian News learned from PetroChina that its subsidiary Yumen Oilfield made important discoveries in natural gas exploration in 2021, producing 5.
09 million cubic meters of gas, ending the 82-year history of the oilfield not producing natural gas

In 2021, the crude oil output of Yumen Oilfield will be 590,000 tons, an increase of 100,000 tons over the previous year, an increase of 20%, the largest increase in the past three years, and the output has increased for six consecutive years
.
In 2020, Yumen Oilfield will produce 490,000 tons of crude oil, exceeding production by 10,000 tons

PetroChina said that in 2021, Yumen Oilfield will make breakthroughs in stabilizing oil and adding gas, refining and chemical transformation, and new energy development
.

Last year, the Yumen Oilfield optimized its exploration deployment and strengthened comprehensive geological research such as 3D seismic
.
Several pre-exploration wells in the Huanqing New Area of ​​the oilfield have obtained industrial oil flow, and the newly added predicted reserves have reached the highest level in the oilfield in the past 20 years

In the Ningqing block, the first shot of natural gas exploration was fired.
The nine pre-exploration wells deployed all saw thick gas layers.
In particular, Well Lizhuang 9 tested high-yield gas flow, marking a major breakthrough in natural gas exploration and development in the oilfield

In 2021, the daily crude oil production in the Huanqing New District of Yumen will increase from 515 tons in the previous year to 755 tons, and the oil and gas production capacity will increase from 160,000 tons to nearly 300,000 tons; the old Yumen area will be replaced by new technologies for secondary and tertiary oil recovery, and in 2021 While efficiently building production of 295,000 tons, crude oil production exceeded 20,000 tons
.

In terms of refining and chemical sales, Yumen Refinery and Chemical Plant will process 2 million tons of crude oil in 2021 and realize an operating profit of 291 million yuan amid the increase in the additional volume of gasoline and diesel and the rising price of chemical raw materials
.
During the same period, the Yumen Refinery and Chemical Plant achieved a cumulative sales revenue of more than 330 million yuan and an efficiency increase of 100 million yuan

2021 is also the first year of new energy development in Yumen Oilfield
.

Last year, PetroChina established Yumen Oilfield as a "Yumen Clean Transformation Demonstration Base", and was listed as one of the six bases for PetroChina's new energy and new material business during the 14th Five-Year Plan
.

On December 27, 2021, PetroChina's first centralized photovoltaic grid-connected power generation demonstration project with the largest investment and largest scale, the 200-megawatt photovoltaic power generation project in Yumen Oilfield, was connected to the grid and put into operation.
So far, it has generated 5.
4 million kWh

According to official data from PetroChina, Yumen Oilfield was developed in 1939 and is China's first natural oil base
.

　　Before 1949, Yumen Oilfield produced a total of 520,000 tons of crude oil, accounting for 95% of the country's crude oil output
.
Since the 1960s, the oilfield has successively delivered more than 100,000 industry backbones and more than 4,000 sets (sets) of various types of equipment to various oilfields and refining and chemical enterprises across the country, and is known as the "cradle" of China's petroleum industry

　　With the depletion of oil resources in recent years, Yumen Oilfield has been seeking transformation
.
At present, Yumen has become the largest wind power base in Gansu and the fifth largest wind power base in China
