Major Strategic Breakthrough of Sinopec's Shale Oil Exploration: Three Prospecting Wells in Subei Basin Record High Oil Flow with 350 Million Tons of Estimated Reserves
BEIJING, Dec. 16, 2021 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --
China Petroleum & Chemical Corporation's (HKG: 0386, "Sinopec") has reported
another strategic breakthrough of shale oil exploration. This time, its
subsidiary Sinopec East China Petroleum Bureau has recorded high-yield shale
oil flow in three prospecting wells in Subei Basin. Among which, the Qinye 1HF
well has tested daily oil production of 55 tons, the Shuaiye 3-7HF well has
tested 20 tons per day, and the previous deployed Shaduo 1 well has a
cumulative production of 11,000 tons over 392 days of continuous flow.
Preliminary evaluation shows that Sinopec's establishment of a
420-square-kilometer favorable area with 350 million tons of shale oil
resources in the Qintong sag has exhibited good prospects for exploration and
development in the region and will inaugurate crude oil resources strategic
replacement in China's Subei Basin.
The shale oil in the Subei Basin has a burial depth of more than 3,000 meters,
where development is difficult as the pressure is high and the storage space is
thinner than a hair, bringing great challenges to processing techniques like
drilling and fracturing. Sinopec East China Petroleum Bureau has achieved this
major breakthrough in shale oil exploration by combining the actual exploration
facts of Subei Basin to strengthen research on formation conditions and
enrichment patterns of continental shale oil.
Sinopec has continued to expand and further its exploration efforts of shale
oil. In January 2021, Sinopec Exploration Branch conducted test production of
Taiye 1 well of shale oil and gas, preliminary estimation has showed shale gas
reserves of 200 billion cubic meters and condensate of 280 million tons.
In November 2021, Sinopec Shengli Oilfield(https://gesweb.prnewswire.com//USES/WebForms/TemporaryFolder/3392207-1-17%20(ID-d9b2c2825fba)_Proof.html) achieved a major breakthrough of shale oil exploration in the East
Exploratory Area, the first batch of shale oil geological reserves has reached
458 million tons by current predictions. Initial estimates of shale oil
resources in the region amount to 4 billion tons, making it a new frontier for
increasing reserves and production in eastern China.
In the exploration and development of shale gas, Sinopec established China's
first 10-billion-cubic-meter major shale gas field(https://en.prnasia.com/releases/apac/sinopec-fuling-shale-gas-field-sets-new-cumulative-production-record-of-40-billion-cubic-meters-335734.shtml), the Fuling shale gas field which has produced 40 billion cubic meters of
shale gas cumulatively. As of now, the shale gas field has proved new reserves
of 104.883 billion cubic meters, making the cumulative total to reach 900
billion cubic meters which accounts for 34 percent of the total proved shale
gas reserves in China.
In addition, Sinopec discovered China's first deep shale gas field, the Weirong
shale gas field, the first phase of which has built a production capacity of 1
billion cubic meters in 2020.
