The Chinese mainland has achieved a remarkable milestone in oil and gas exploration! The China National Petroleum Corporation (CNPC) announced a new daily drilling record of 2,006 meters at the edge of the Taklimakan Desert, marking a significant breakthrough.
The impressive feat was completed at the Ha 13-H9 well in the Tarim Oilfield, located in Shaya County of Aksu Prefecture, Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, reaching a final depth of 7,341 meters. This record-setting pace was achieved thanks to advancements in key technical equipment.
Key innovations include high-strength drill pipes, high-temperature-proof drilling fluids capable of withstanding temperatures up to 220°C, and advanced logging tools designed for ultra-deep operations. These technologies have been essential in pushing the boundaries of deep-earth oil and gas exploration in the Chinese mainland.
Since the beginning of this year, CNPC has been accelerating drilling speeds in the Tarim Oilfield, shortening drilling cycles by over 20%. The daily drilling speed record for ultra-deep wells in China has been broken multiple times, showcasing the rapid progress in the sector.
These developments not only highlight China's commitment to energy innovation but also pave the way for future advancements in the global oil and gas industry.
