Chongqing’s Zhongxian County becomes the first location in the southwestern region to host a 500,000-ton shale oil production facility
Thread Content
Recently, Zhongxian County signed a project investment agreement for the exploration, development, and utilization of shale oil and gas during the 15th Five-Year Plan period with Sinopec Jianghan Oilfield Branch. This marks the establishment of the first shale oil production base with an annual capacity of 500,000 tons in Zhongxian County, Chongqing, in the southwestern region. Under the agreement, the project plans to invest 9.5 billion yuan during the 15th Five-Year Plan period, aiming to establish a **-level demonstration area for onshore shale oil and gas development over a period of five years. It is reported that the Zhongxian production area of the Fuxing Oil Field is rich in shale oil and gas resources; the area suitable for exploitation amounts to 870 square kilometers. This area holds geological reserves of 890 billion cubic meters of natural gas and 517 million tons of shale oil, accounting for 55% of the total resources in the Fuxing Oil Field. It serves as the main site for the development of shale oil and gas resources in this field. To date, the Jianghan Oilfield Branch has invested a total of 2.441 billion yuan in Zhongxian County, achieving remarkable results; there are now 5 wells with a daily production of over 100 tons, 2 of which have a production level exceeding 200 tons per day. According to the development plan, the Jianghan Oilfield Branch will deploy 140 oil wells within the territory of Zhongxian County, and construct one combined station, one transfer station, one oil depot, and one dock, along with corresponding facilities such as oil and gas transmission pipelines and power grid lines. The project will be advanced in accordance with the overall approach of \"comprehensive planning, assessment of scale, hierarchical evaluation, and phased development,\" with the goal of achieving a shale oil production volume of 500,000 tons by 2030. Officials from Zhongxian County said that the implementation of this project will directly boost local economic development and job creation, facilitate the aggregation of industries related to energy, and help the county’s economy achieve high-quality growth. At the same time, the construction of this facility will also transform the regional energy supply structure, achieving a historic breakthrough in shale oil development in the southwest region – from nothing to something.
