China possesses abundant deep and ultra-deep oil and gas resources, accounting for approximately 34% of the nation's total reserves.The successful drilling of the Tarim Basin's Tanke-1 well to a depth exceeding 10,000 meters marks a significant advancement in ultra-deep exploration.
However, extracting hydrocarbons from these depths presents challenges due to dense reservoirs and low permeability.Hydraulic fracturing has emerged as a vital technique, creating fractures in subterranean rock formations to enhance oil and gas flow.Continuous innovations in drilling and fracturing technologies are essential to unlock the full potential of these deep resources.
With the nation's growing focus on energy security and independent resource development, the strategic value of deep and ultra-deep resources is becoming increasingly prominent. In the future, the localization of supporting equipment, improvements in material durability under high-temperature and high-pressure conditions, and the application of intelligent fracturing control systems will be key factors driving the continued development of deep resources. Only by continuously overcoming technical bottlenecks can China truly advance into deep formations and provide solid support for optimizing its energy structure.
