At a depth of more than 4,000 metres, the achievement marks significant progress in ultradeep shale gas exploration in
Following the breakthrough of the Fuling shale gas field in 2012, Sinopec has been expanding its expertise in deep shale gas. In 2018, Sinopec discovered and commercialized the Weirong shale gas field at a depth of 3,800 meters.
The technical requirements of developing deep marine shale gas reservoirs at depths of over 4,000 meters are high due to challenges faced at ultra-high depths and complex crustal stress. In 2019, Sinopec achieved the breakthrough of fracturing technology for shale gas wells at depths of more than 4,000 meters, with the high-quality
To develop the Dongye Deep 2 Well,
Next, Sinopec plans to devote greater effort to increase oil and gas exploration by developing unconventional resources such as shale oil and gas while focusing on growing reserves and production of conventional petroleum.
The company thrives on providing replicable deep shale gas fracturing construction that can be promoted. By breaking through to new depths and expanding the achievements of deep shale gas exploration and development, Sinopec is committed to making further contributions to the rapidly increasing production of shale gas in
