Significant Progress In Research On Key Technologies For Continental Shale Oil Exploration

PetroChina relies on the national oil and gas special project, the 973 plan and the company's major science and technology projects to solve the theoretical flaws and technical bottlenecks faced by shale oil exploration and development, and promote the effective use of shale oil scale.

Significant progress has been made: integrated innovations have formed shale oil horizontal wells, high-speed drilling, subdivided cutting volume fracturing and factory operation modes, and tested to form key technologies such as shale oil 200-meter well development and deployment, full life cycle production forecast, and production system optimization. The realization of effective use of shale oil and resource replacement.

The above theoretical and technical achievements have effectively guided and promoted the exploration breakthrough and scale construction of the continental shale oils such as the Kongsal in the Junggar Basin, the Kong 2 Member of the Jidong Sag, the Chang 7 Member of the Ordos Basin, and the Permian in the Santanghu Basin. Producing and boosting shale oil has become an important strategic replacement for PetroChina.
