Daqing Oilfield, one of China’s largest oil production bases, announced Friday that its natural gas production exceeded 6 billion cubic meters in 2024, achieving steady growth for a 14th consecutive year.
The 6 billion cubic meters of natural gas can meet the daily needs of 39 million families of three for a year, according to the oilfield.
The oilfield’s base in northeast China produced 5 billion cubic meters of natural gas last year, while its southwest China base produced 1 billion cubic meters.
Daqing Oilfield was discovered in 1959 in the northeastern province of Heilongjiang. It has made a significant contribution to China’s modern petroleum industry.
