Core Viewpoint - The Tianshan gas field in Xinjiang has surpassed a cumulative production of 1 billion cubic meters of industrial natural gas, marking a significant breakthrough in the development of ultra-deep and ultra-high-pressure complex gas reservoirs in China, which enhances national energy security and supports public gas needs [1][2]. Group 1 - The Tianshan gas field, located in the southern margin of the Junggar Basin, began development in February 2021 and features gas reservoirs buried over 7,000 meters deep with a pressure coefficient above 2.0, representing a typical ultra-deep, ultra-high-pressure fractured rock condensate gas field [1]. - The geological structure of the gas field is complex and the reservoir is dense, making development extremely challenging, with no mature development experience available for reference [1]. - In recent years, China has increased efforts in natural gas exploration and development, focusing on boosting reserves and production [2]. Group 2 - The Tianshan gas field is a key area for the development of ultra-deep complex gas reservoirs in the Junggar Basin, employing an integrated exploration and development model [2]. - The field has rapidly put into production several high-yield gas wells, such as Houtan 1 and Tianwan 1, while simultaneously operating supporting facilities like liquefied natural gas plants and natural gas processing stations, establishing a complete production processing system [2]. - It is expected that by 2026, the gas field will have eight new gas wells put into production, doubling the daily gas output to reach 3.4 million cubic meters [2].
