The exploration areas of Henan Oilfield Company are mainly located in Nanyang and Biyang , Henan Province. It also won the bidding for two risk exploration projects in Santanghu basin and Yanqi basin in Xinjiang Autonomous Region in 1993 and obtained the exploring right in Bayanhaote basin in Inner Mongolia Region in 1997. In February 2001, as SINOPEC obtained the exploring right in Tarim basin, Henan Oilfield Company began the exploration project in Takalamagan desert. And then the Company won the bidding for the rights of oil and gas exploration and evaluation in Sanjiang Basin in the early of 2004 and obtained the right of oil and gas exploration in Dunhua Basin in 2005, and won the right of oil and gas exploration in Erie Basin and Block Pai 2 in Junggar Basin and the right for oilfield development of Chunguang Oilfield in 2009. By the end of 2009, Henan Oilfield Company has discovered 16 Oilfields (including 3 Oilfields in the west of China), with a total oil and gas bearing area of 192 km 2 .The proven oil reserves in place is 316.68 million tons (oil equivalent) . During the process of oil and gas exploration, it also discovered the Anpeng natural sodium carbonate mine with reserves of 50 million tons in Biyang and the Zhongyuan halite field with reserves of 230 billion tons in Wuyang. In 1991 the Henan Oilfield Company was awarded “the National Meritorious Unit for Geological Survey” title by the state and won the national advanced collectivity in Geological Survey Industry (1997 and 2007).
