Bozhong 26-6 Oilfield Put Into Operation: The World's Largest Metamorphic Rock Buried Hill Oilfield Contributes To National Energy Security

On February 7th, the development project of Bozhong 26-6 oilfield, a billion ton oil field located in Bohai, China, was successfully put into operation, marking the official entry of the world's largest metamorphic rock buried hill oilfield into the production stage, which is of great significance for ensuring national energy security.

The Bozhong 26-6 oilfield is located in the central waters of the Bohai Sea, about 170 kilometers away from Tianjin, with an average depth of about 20 meters. The oilfield is divided into two development projects, Phase I and Phase II. The current Phase I development project mainly includes the construction of one central processing platform and one unmanned wellhead platform.

Liu Jingliang, Director of Bozhong 26-6 Oilfield of CNOOC Tianjin Branch, introduced that the first phase development project of Bozhong 26-6 Oilfield plans to put 33 development wells into operation, with an expected peak daily oil and gas equivalent of over 3500 cubic meters.

Since its discovery in 2022, the Bozhong 26-6 oilfield has accumulated proven geological reserves of over 150 million tons of oil and gas. According to normal recovery rates, it can extract over 20 million tons of crude oil and over 11 billion cubic meters of natural gas.
