Daqing, China’s largest oilfield, to reduce output
29/12/2014
By 2020, Daqing’s annual output will be slashed to 32 million tonnes with an annual reduction of more than 1.3 million tonnes, the conference said.
As China’s largest inland oilfield, Daqing has produced more than 2.1 billion tonnes of crude oil since production started in 1960.
It produced slightly more than 40 million tonnes of crude oil in 2013, marking the 11th consecutive year in which the crude oil output of Daqing exceeded 40 million tonnes.
Limited oil reserves, high cost of development and declining international oil prices have caused the fast-depleting Daqing Oilfield to reduce output, a staff who declined to be named from Daqing told Xinhua.
