Discovery of 1.7 billion-ton oil fields in ten years of prospecting
The amount of retained resources of major minerals has generally increased
This reporter from Beijing (Reporter Chang Qin) learned from the Ministry of Natural Resources: Since the State Council approved the implementation of the prospecting breakthrough strategy in 2011, the 10-year prospecting breakthrough strategy has achieved the overall goal, and the amount of major mineral resources has generally increased.
The newly increased resources of oil and natural gas in the past ten years were 10.1 billion tons and 6.85 trillion cubic meters, respectively, and 17 large oil fields of 100 billion tons and 21 large gas fields of 100 billion cubic meters were discovered.
32 non-oil and gas mineral resource bases were newly formed.
According to reports, the focus of mineral resources exploration and development has shifted to the west and expanded to the sea.
The newly-added proven geological reserves and output of Western Petroleum accounted for 62% and 34% of the national total, respectively, and the newly-added proven geological reserves and output of natural gas accounted for 85% and 84% of the national total, respectively.
In 2020, the offshore oil and gas production will account for about a quarter of the national oil and gas production.
Of the 32 newly formed non-oil and gas mineral resource bases nationwide, 25 are located in the west; prospecting for mines has added a batch of resources.
Major prospecting prospects have basically achieved full coverage, major shale gas survey discoveries have been made in the Yangtze River Economic Zone, and a breakthrough in dry hot rock surveys has been achieved in the Gonghe Basin of Qinghai.
