China's central and northern Bohai Sea secured another 100-million-ton oil field after 10 years

　　China News Service, Beijing, March 18 (Reporter Wang Enbo) CNOOC announced on the 18th that it had made another 100-million-ton discovery in the central and northern parts of China's Bohai Sea - the Qinhuangdao 27-3 oil field, with proven oil geological reserves of 104 million tons. , this is the first major oil and gas discovery in this area in 10 years.

　　Qinhuangdao 27-3 Oilfield is about 200 kilometers west of Tianjin City, with an average water depth of about 25 meters. The discovery well Qinhuangdao 27-3-3 encountered an oil layer of 48.9 meters, and the drilling depth was 1,570 meters.

After testing, the oil field has a daily crude oil production of about 110 tons from a single well, showing good exploration prospects.

On March 18, CNOOC announced that it had acquired another 100-million-ton oil field in the central and northern Bohai Sea in 10 years - Qinhuangdao 27-3 Oilfield.

　　According to reports, according to normal mining, Qinhuangdao 27-3 Oilfield can extract nearly 20 million tons of crude oil. After being refined into gasoline, it can meet the daily transportation needs of urban residents with a population of one million for more than 10 years. The refined asphalt can be paved for more than 100,000 kilometers4 lane highway, equivalent to circling the earth more than 3 times.

　　Xu Changgui, deputy chief engineer of CNOOC Exploration, said that the Qinhuangdao 27-3 oil field is another 100-million-ton oil field in the central and northern Bohai Sea after 10 years. It is also the sixth 100-million-ton oil field discovered in the Bohai Oilfield since 2019.

　　Xu Changgui said that the discovery of the oil field further confirmed the broad oil and gas exploration prospects in the complex strike-slip fault zone of the Bohai Sea. It will inject strong impetus into the development of China's offshore oil fields, stabilize China's energy rice bowl, and promote the coordinated development of Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei.
