PetroChina makes huge gas find

The agency cited a company official who said the field could produce 610,000 cubic meters of gas plus 106.3 cubic meters of crude oil daily.

“The discovery marks a major breakthrough in gas exploration in the southern rim of the Junggar Basin, which will further guarantee the gas supply of our company and contribute to the stability and prosperity of the region,” Huo Jin, general manager of PetroChina’s unit in the northwestern province of Xinjiang, said.
