Recently, Liaoning media reported that "a large oil field of1.400 million tons has been discovered in xinmin city, Liaoning Province, and substantial wells will be explored this year. It is conservatively estimated that it can be mined 1.000 years. " After the news was reprinted by many media, it caused strong repercussions on the Internet. Subsequently, the media also wrote a follow-up report: "Xinmin discovers big oil fields" became the hottest topic on the Internet over the weekend.
According to Feng, a senior engineer of Northeast Oil and Gas Company of China Petrochemical Company, at present, they only conducted the first 150km 2D seismic exploration in xinmin city, Liaoning Province. As for whether there is oil underground, further analysis is needed, and there is no conclusion yet. "Even if a drilling team is sent to drill wells, it cannot be proved that there must be oil."
It is understood that some areas of Xinmin in Liaoning explored by Sinopec are in the same block as Liaohe Oilfield, which was previously explored by Liaohe Oilfield Company. After re-geological demonstration, Sinopec believes that this area has certain exploration prospects. From June 5438+0 1 2009 to June 5438+0 this year, the Northeast Oil and Gas Company under Sinopec conducted two months of seismic exploration in the local area.
Feng told reporters that seismic exploration, commonly known as "blasting", aims to measure whether there are oil storage conditions according to the local geological structure. "To put it bluntly, it is to find an oil pan." Feng said that through seismic exploration, we can initially know the volume of the wall of the underground oil layer and the density of oil, so we can initially calculate the oil reserves. He said that the previous seismic exploration data have just been reviewed by experts and are being further analyzed, and there is no further conclusion. "Therefore, it is not yet certain whether there is oil, let alone oil reserves." He said.
It is reported that Liaoning Xinmin seismic exploration is a normal exploration operation of Sinopec. Since 2009, Northeast Oil and Gas Company has successively carried out seismic exploration in Shuang Shan, Qinjiatun and Erenhot in Inner Mongolia. Feng said that even if the expert analysis results show that Xinmin has mining value, it will not be possible to start drilling wells until the land thaws in May this year at the earliest.
"At present, we have carried out150km 2D seismic exploration in Xinmin, instead of 72.5km as reported by the media before." Zhang Yuming told reporters that after learning the report, they contacted the relevant leaders of xinmin city, Liaoning Province and the address investigation office of Henan Oilfield, the construction party. They said they didn't know and had not been interviewed. "This incident does not rule out the possibility of construction workers bragging privately." He said.
