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. By the end of 2006, Henan Oilfield Company has discovered 15 Oilfields (including 2 Oilfields in the west of China), with a total oil and gas bearing area of 180.47 km 2 .The proven oil reserves in place is 288.58 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 conferred by the state a title of National Meritorious Unit for Geological Survey . Up to now, the petroleum resource of the area run by the Henan Oilfield Company totals 737 million tons, which shows good future in oil and gas exploration.

Henan Oilfield Company embarked on Oilfield construction in 1977. Its Oilfields were officially put into development in 1978. The Oilfield development management of the company reached the advanced level at home. Then Shuanghe Oilfield (the biggest Oilfield of Henan Oilfield Company) was named the Oilfield with high speed and high efficiency by the former CNPC and SINOPEC for many times.
