6 desert oilfields
built in Xinjiang
China has built six oilfields in desert areas in
northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region
with each having an annual output of 1 million tons.
The oilfields are located at the Tarim Basin in
northern Xinjiang and Junggar Basin in southern
Xinjiang.
An oilfield, named Hadexun, at the Tarim Basin turns
out 1.5 million tons of crude oil a year, becoming the
largest desert oilfield in China. The accumulated
output of Lunnan, Tazhong and Cainan oilfields have
surpassed 10 million tons.
Operation of these oilfields raised the region's
annual oil output from 7 million tons in 1990 to 21.41
million tons in 2003.
Xinjiang is expected to replace northeast China as the
new energy base of China. It will supply over one
fifth of China's total oil by 2010, including an
output of 35 million tons and an import of 10 million
tons of crude oil from Kazakhstan.
