| Yaha condensate gas field lies in Yaha fault structural
zone of Tarim basin within Kuqa county, Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous
region.
In Yaha fault structural zone, geophysical reconnaissance begun
in 1989. A industrial gas flowing was found in well Yaha 3 during
Feb. to March 1993, leading to the discovery of Yaha condensate
gas field. As of the end of 1994, it had proven OOIP 1616¡Á104t £¬OGIP
357.78¡Á108m3 , 2826.9¡Á104t OOIP of gas condensate and 47.59¡Á108m3
OGIP of solution gas. With a reserve abundance of 7.31¡Á108m3/km2,
Yaha condensate gas field is regarded as a large gas field with
medium abundance.
The construction of Yaha condensate gas field was completed and
put into production on Oct.31,2000. It¡¯s the largest integral condensate
gas field in China. After putting into production, an enclosed gathering
and transporting process with high-pressure and ambient temperature
has been applied, in which the produced condensate gas with high
pressure is treated and oil and gas are metered and separated, then
the condensate gas is boosted and re-injected into reservoir and
the recovered gas condensate is transported through pipeline for
sales. It is a new production technology, featuring advanced technically,
economic, energy saving and environment friendly with a result of
production cost reduction significantly.
