China's Tarim Oilfield just hit a jaw-dropping milestone in 2024—producing over 20.47 million tonnes of oil and gas equivalent from depths deeper than 6,000 meters! Known as the nation's ultra-deep energy powerhouse, this Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region giant is rewriting the rules of fossil fuel extraction .
The China National Petroleum Corporation (CNPC) announced the breakthrough Sunday, revealing that engineers drilled 50+ wells deeper than 8,000 meters this year alone. Imagine stacking 21 Burj Khalifas end-to-end—that's how deep we're talking!
Located in the resource-rich Tarim Basin (China's largest oil-gas treasure chest), this feat highlights cutting-edge tech tackling one of Earth's toughest environments. As global energy demands rise, ultra-deep drilling could be a game-changer—and Tarim's 2024 numbers prove it's not just possible, but profitable .
