Crude oil output at China Petrochemical Corporation (Sinopec)'s
Shengli oil field in 2007 stood at 27.708 million tons, surpassing
its annual target, said Sinopec on its website Monday.
Shengli, located in eastern Shandong Province, is the country's
second largest oil field after the northeastern Daqing oil
field.
Statistics from Sinopec revealed that the oil field's output in
2007 was 120,800 tons above the plan, accounting for two-thirds of
the total crude oil production of Sinopec, the country's largest
oil refiner.
During the past 40 years, its aggregate output of crude oil
reached 880 million tons.
Cumulative production of natural gas topped 39.816 billion cubic
meters by the end of 2006.
The company said it was using enhanced recovery techniques at
Shengli to improve production.
