As of March 15, the Tarim Oilfield has produced a cumulative total of 501 billion cubic meters of natural gas. This clean energy has facilitated the optimization and upgrading of energy and industrial structures in western, central, and eastern China, particularly in the Yangtze River Delta region. It has generated substantial social, economic, and ecological benefits, contributing significantly to the development of a Beautiful China.

Located in the remote western part of China, the Tarim Basin, where the oilfield is situated, is the largest onshore oil and gas basin in the country. It is also one of the most challenging areas for exploration and holds great potential for increasing reserves and production. Since its establishment in 1989, the Tarim Oilfield has continuously intensified natural gas exploration and development, leading China into a comprehensive "natural gas era."

In response to growing downstream demand for natural gas, the Tarim Oilfield has consistently enhanced its production capacity. It has tackled world-class challenges in exploration and development, such as ultra-deep, ultra-high temperature, ultra-high pressure, and high sulfur content—collectively known as the "three ultras and one high." The oilfield has made significant progress in theories related to ultra-deep and complex natural gas geology and key core technologies. It has innovated oil and gas geological theories, including those for salt-bearing foreland basins, and overcome engineering challenges like ultra-deep complex drilling, enabling natural gas exploration and development to advance into increasingly deep and complex territories.

Thanks to continuous breakthroughs in geological theory and engineering technology, the Tarim Oilfield has discovered two trillion-cubic-meter gas regions: Kela-Keshen and Bozi-Dabei. It has successfully developed 19 large and medium-sized gas fields, including the Keshen-9 gas field, the deepest onshore field in China, and the Keshen-13 gas field, which has the highest pressure onshore. These achievements have driven a steady annual increase in natural gas production. In 2006, the oilfield's annual natural gas output first exceeded 10 billion cubic meters; it surpassed 20 billion cubic meters in 2013 and reached over 30 billion cubic meters in 2020. For six consecutive years, it has maintained high-efficiency stable production above 31 billion cubic meters, establishing itself as a key gas-producing region in China.

The Tarim Oilfield has always prioritized ensuring residential gas supply. On the grand map of the West-East Gas Pipeline project, the Kela-2 gas field, known as the "first source" of the pipeline, has produced six high-yield gas wells, each with a cumulative output exceeding 10 billion cubic meters. As a critical hub connecting upstream gas sources with downstream pipeline networks, the first station of the West-East Gas Pipeline has undergone three large-scale expansions, increasing its maximum annual supply capacity to 40 billion cubic meters. Over the nearly 22 years since the pipeline began operation, the Tarim Oilfield has supplied more than 390 billion cubic meters of natural gas to nearly 500 million residents across 15 provinces, autonomous regions, and municipalities.
