PetroChina â Xinjiang achieved commercial gas with an appraisal well Dixi 505 in the Kelameili field, Junggar Basin, flowing 4.2 MMcf/d from the Permian Wutonggou Formation.  Located in the Dixi 179 well block, Dixi 505 further confirmed the Wutonggou reservoir distribution in Dixi 179 area and indicated potential undeveloped reserves.  Background information The Kelameili gas field includes Dixi 14, Dixi 17, and Dixi 18 and Dixi 10 discoveries and has the main reservoir in the Carboniferous. In 2007, 3 Tcf in place gas had been proved with additional 1.6 Tcf of possible gas reserves. With success appraisal work in 2008, a total of approximately 3.7 Tcf of proven gas in place had been confirmed.  The Kelameili field was onstream in 2008. By November 2010, the field had 25 wells producing at a rate of 60 MMscfg/d. In 2015, PetroChina drilled several successful wells around Kelameili field which added additional reserves, such as Dixi 189, Dixi 323, Dixi 405, Dixi 406, Dixi 407 and Dixi 106. In 2016 the field produced at a rate of 70 MMcf/d of gas.  Â
