In a significant milestone for China's energy sector, the Tarim Oilfield in the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region has emerged as a critical energy hub, contributing 37% of the country's total ultra-deep oil and gas production in 2024.

According to recent industry reports, the Tarim Oilfield produced approximately 150 million metric tons of oil and gas equivalent from ultra-deep reserves—formations located at depths exceeding 6,000 meters. This substantial output underscores China's growing expertise in tapping challenging deep-earth resources, helping to secure the nation's energy supply amid increasing domestic demand.

The Tarim Basin, known for its complex geological conditions and harsh environmental challenges, has long been considered one of China's most difficult regions for energy exploration. However, recent technological advancements and strategic investments by state-owned enterprises have significantly enhanced production capabilities.

Industry analysts highlight that breakthroughs in ultra-deep drilling technologies have been pivotal in unlocking these vast reserves. The successful extraction from such extreme depths demonstrates China's rapidly advancing technical capabilities in oil and gas exploration.

This achievement aligns with China's broader strategic objective to enhance domestic energy security by increasing self-sufficiency and reducing reliance on imported fossil fuels. The Tarim Oilfield's substantial contribution is expected to play a crucial role in supporting the country's economic growth and stability in coming years.

Dushanzi Petrochemical Tarim Phase II Ethylene Project is accelerating

Petrochemical Industry Going Global Alliance | November 9, 2024

At present, Dushanzi Petrochemical is accelerating the construction of the Tarim 1.2 million tons/year Phase II ethylene project, which will quickly release 1.2 million tons of polyethylene, 450,000 tons of polypropylene, and 100,000 tons of rubber production capacity. At the same time, it can provide 400,000 tons of raw materials per year to drive the development of the downstream industrial chain.

The Tarim 1.2 million tons/year Phase II ethylene project adheres to the innovative and green construction concept and has built 11 major production units, 10 of which use domestic technology (9 use China Petroleum’s own technology); it maximizes the use of domestic technology and localized equipment, with a localization rate of 99%.

At the end of October this year, the first domestically produced dual-end functionalized solution-polymerized styrene-butadiene rubber SSBR3540 F was successfully started up at the 240,000 tons/year SSBR/SBS rubber unit of PetroChina Dushanzi Petrochemical, filling the domestic gap. Currently, the production capacity of solution-polymerized styrene-butadiene rubber of Dushanzi Petrochemical has reached 160,000 tons/year.
