On the 8th, the Manshen 1 well of the Tarim Oilfield in Shaya County, Aksu Prefecture, Xinjiang was tested for production with a 10 mm nozzle. The daily output of crude oil was 624 cubic meters and the daily output of natural gas was 371,000 cubic meters. A breakthrough was made and a new large oil and gas field of 100 million tons was discovered.
The major breakthrough of Manshen 1 well means that a new regional-level oil-rich fault zone has been newly discovered, which confirms that Tabei-Tazhong is a continuous piece of oil-bearing, the newly added oil resource reaches 228 million tons, and the potential of oil and gas resources is huge.
Manshen 1 well is a key exploratory well deployed by the Tarim Oilfield in the new exploration area on the southern bank of the Tarim River. It is located in the saddle between the two ancient uplifts in the north and middle of the tower. The Tarim Basin is rich in carbonate oil and gas reserves, accounting for about 38% of the total oil and gas resources in the basin, and is an important strategic succession area for the increase of crude oil in the Tarim Oilfield.
At present, the Tarim Oilfield has developed 7 high-efficiency carbonate blocks such as Halahatang, Lungu, and Tazhong I. In 2019, its oil and gas production will reach 3.75 million tons, accounting for 50% of the oil and gas production in the northern Tarim-Tazhong area. . It has laid a solid foundation for accelerating the construction of a large oil and gas area of 10 million tons in Tabei-Tazhong.
In 2019, Tarim Oilfield put forward the goal of “decision 30 million, breakthrough 35 million, aiming at 40 million”, that is, to build 30 million tons of large oil and gas fields as scheduled in 2020, and the oil and gas production will exceed 35 million tons during the “Fourteenth Five-Year Plan” period. Previously, oil and gas production reached more than 40 million tons.
In this regard, the Tarim Oilfield is focusing on the exploration of Kuqa New Area, the southwestern Piedmont of the Tarim Basin, and the deep carbonate rocks in the Tarim Basin in the Tarim Basin. It has accelerated the search for a strategic replacement area and concentrated on the development of Kuqa Natural Gas and Tabei— In the two bases of crude oil in Tazhong, build 30 billion cubic meters of gas area in Kuche and 10 million tons of large oil and gas areas in the basin area to promote the implementation of the target.
