China’s lacustrine shale oil demonstration zone surpasses 5 million tons

CNPC’s Jimsar Shale Oil Demonstration Zone in Xinjiang has produced over 5 million tonnes of oil, setting records in drilling speed and automation. It marks China’s progress in ultra-deep shale oil extraction and digital oilfield operations.

The Duplex Dragon

Deep within the Tarim Basin of Xinjiang, China, pipelines transport natural gas as it is extracted and refined for distribution throughout the country.
