Recently, China Petrochemical Corp, or Sinopec Group, has discovered abundant flows of natural gas and crude oil at the Shunbei-42X well and the Shunbei-41X well in the petroliferous Tarim Basin in the Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region.
With an average depth of over 7,300 meters, the wells at the Shunbei oil and gas field are among the deepest onshore oil-gas reservoirs in the world. China Petrochemical Corp (Sinopec) Northwest Oilfield Co, a branch of the Sinopec Group, has made breakthroughs in the key technology of exploring and exploiting gas and oil from high-pressure, high-temperature wells.
