Last Monday, October 23, the National Oil Corporation in the South China Sea<\/strong> (CNOOC) made public the discovery of an important source of methane in coalbed deposits (CBM), with reserves that They amount to billions of m 3<\/sup> .<\/p>\n\n\n\n This discovery took place in the province of Shaanxi, located in northwest China and is estimated to have proven reserves exceeding 110 billion m 3<\/sup> , according to CGTN.<\/p>\n\n\n\n “The discovery lays a solid foundation for the company to build a large onshore gas production platform, which will produce up to one trillion m3<\/sup> of verified gas at the site<\/em> ,” said Zhou Xinhuai, CEO of CNOOC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Deep CBMs refer to natural gas<\/a><\/strong> deposits located at depths greater than 1,500 meters, contained in coal deposits. The Shenfu reservoir, for example, lies at a depth of around 2,000 meters and varies in thickness from 6.2 meters to 23.3 meters in a single layer, averaging around 15 m 3<\/sup> of gas per ton. of coal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Currently, more than 100 exploration wells have been drilled in the region, with a maximum daily production of approximately 26,000 m 3<\/sup> of gas per well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Do you want to stay informed?
