Offshore Oil & Gas Prospecting Exploration


 

Summary

kt.gif (13412 bytes)According to the countrys need for energy and in order to meet the need for energy of economy-developed areas along the southeast, the china national offshore oil corporation adjusted its exploration policy to employ both oil and gas, but lay little more emphasis on gas in 1993, that is to say, natural gas would be devoted more time and energy while oil and gas were laid equal stress.

From 1993 to 1995, 1.56 million km. Seismic work load were accomplished on the sea, among which the proportion of 3d went beyond 1/3. 87 wells were drilled in, 23 oil and gas tectonic structures were discovered. The geologic reserves of 12.9 billion tons oil and 220 billion m3 natural gas were totally explored. At present, 19 offshore oil and gas wells were put into production. China national offshore oil corporation came into a new stage that upper and lower reaches exploration, development and production were integrated.
