Guess what? Mainland China’s biggest ultra-deep oilfield, Fuman, just hit an all-time high of 4.6 million tonnes of oil and gas output in 2025! 🛢️✨
On December 20, 2025, China National Petroleum Corporation (CNPC) revealed that Fuman Oilfield in the Taklimakan Desert, Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, pumped a record 4.6 million tonnes of oil and gas this year.
Ultra-deep drilling means going deeper than 5 km underground, using high-tech rigs, special drill bits, and tough materials to handle extreme heat and pressure. Fuman’s achievement shows major progress in R&D for ultra-deep energy projects. 🚀
Why it matters: this boost helps Mainland China’s energy security by diversifying sources, and it highlights high-tech achievements in drilling. For us in South and Southeast Asia, it’s cool to see cutting-edge tech driving energy solutions across the region. 💡
What’s next? CNPC plans to keep pushing the boundaries of depth and efficiency, aiming for even higher outputs. As the global energy landscape shifts, innovations like Fuman’s ultra-deep success will shape how we power our lives—whether you’re streaming your favorite K-pop playlist or charging your e-scooter. 🎧⚡
Stay tuned for more updates on how ultra-deep tech is reshaping energy around the world! 🌏🔋
