Sinopec â Xibei tested gas in Xinghuo 6, which flowed 1.7 MMcf/d of gas in the Lower Tertiary Kumugeliemu Formation, in the Tarim Basin. This NFW is located in Shaya High of the Tabei Uplift, the success of the well indicated prospective exploration potential in this area.   Several wells have bene drilled in this area, such as Xinghuo 1, Xinghuo 2 and Xinghuo 4, but without discovery. Xinghuo 6 is the first well which achieved commercial gas flow.  PetroChina has found an oil/gas field, Yaha field, near this area.  Background information  The Yaha Field, located on the Tabei uplift in the Tarim basin, was discovered in 1993 when Ya 3 tested 780 bo/d and 5.6 MMscfg/d from Tertiary. The field came on production in 2000. The Yaha Field was reported to hold 260 MMbbls of proven in-place condensate and 1,386 Bcf of proven in-place gas. The main reservoirs of the Yaha Field is Lower Tertiary Kumugeliemu sands. The Ordovician-Cambrian carbonates is the secondary reservoir.
(Tarim B.) Xinghuo 6 nfw, operated by Sinopec â Xibei (100%) in Tianshan Southern Margin block, tested gas which flowed 1.7 MMcf/d of gas in the Lower Tertiary Kumugeliemu Formation. This nfw is located in Shaya High of the Tabei Uplift, the success of the well indicated prospective exploration potential in this area.
