Gas to prop up output in Daqing

China’s biggest oilfield, facing depleting output, is increasingly relying on natural gas to maintain production levels.

“Natural gas will be an important driving force to stabilize Daqing oilfield’s production,” the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC), the top economic planner, said on its website.

“As oil production is decreasing year on year, it is necessary to further explore gas resources at Daqing to make the overall output stable,” Han Xuegong, a senior analyst with CNPC, told China Daily.
