我国首个国家级页岩油示范区累计产量突破500万吨

Core Insights - The first national-level continental shale oil demonstration zone in China, located in Jimsar, Xinjiang, has achieved a cumulative production of over 5 million tons, marking a transition from technical exploration to stable output in shale oil development [1][5] - Shale oil is recognized as a resource with significant development potential, despite being difficult to extract [1][3] - The Jimsar shale oil demonstration zone covers an area of 1,278 square kilometers with oil reservoirs buried over 3,800 meters deep [1] Production and Development - The demonstration zone has accelerated capacity construction, completing 48 wells this year, with daily production surpassing 5,000 tons, setting a historical record [1][5] - The estimated resource volume in the Jimsar shale oil zone exceeds 1 billion tons, laying the foundation for large-scale development [5] - By the end of this year, China's shale oil production is expected to exceed 6.8 million tons, fully completing the national shale oil demonstration zone construction [5] Technological Advancements - The shale oil extraction in Jimsar faces challenges due to the extremely dense rock formations, likened to "squeezing oil from a whetstone" [3] - To address these challenges, a comprehensive technical system and standards for continental shale oil development have been established, achieving a drilling speed record of 1,860 meters per day for horizontal wells [3] - The first "unmanned inspection" oil management area in China has been established in this zone, utilizing digital management for 24-hour intelligent operations [3]
