In March 2007, with the purpose of implementing resource developing strategy of SINOPEC, SINOPEC adjusted its oil & gas exploration management system and Exploration Southern Branch was established as a subordinate company of Exploration Branch of SINOPEC, which consisted of professional persons and others related from departments of exploration research, exploration management of original Southern Exploration and Development Branch Company and Central-South Branch Company.
The company is in charge of risky exploration in new area of southern China roundly and undertakes the undertakings of “Developing Southern China”. The exploration targets includes marine Mesozoic-Paleozoic and terrestrial Mesozoic –Cenozoic, its exploration area covers the area of Qinling-Dabie-Jiaonan orogenic belt to the south, Tibetan Plateau to the east and Yellow sea to the west, with the total exploration area about 2.8×105©N2 and the total resource quantity 184,000×108 m3.
According to the operating mechanism of Decision by Group, Management by Project, Operating by Market and Serving society, the company has introduced modern enterprise management methods, adopted project management during the whole exploration course and all exploration projects are operated by public biding and professional brigades are introduced from various oilfields(institutions and universities) to undertake constructions and synthetic researches. At present, the company has established a set of project managing mode and operating mechanism suitable for the new exploration area of southern China to ensure smooth implementation of exploration projects.
The company adhered to theory, technology and management innovation and found out Puguang Gas Field with the largest-scale and the highest abundance so far in the new marine area. During the course of keeping promoting southern marine exploration, the company insists on strengthening basic geological researches and sci-tech tackling and a set of geological theories has been formed gradually, taking sedimentary model, reservoir development, hydrocarbon generation model and reservoiring mechanism as the core. Furthermore, a set of seismic prospect technology, taking reservoir forecasting of deep carbonate rocks in complex mountains, has been formed as well as a set of drilling and testing engineering technology in deep well and super-deep well adapting to marine carbonate rocks exploration. All these have made a solid base for accelerating decision of resource base for “Eastern Transfer of Sichuan Gas”as well as for enlarging oil & gas exploration results.
The company has made great achievements in oil & gas exploration by sticking to oil & gas exploration strategy of Developing Southern China of SINOPEC, making oil & gas resource as the core, considering oil & gas broken as the emphasis, taking discovering large-medium oil & gas field as the aim to carry out three level plan of Exploration Expansion, Exploration Broken, Exploration Preparation and to implement oil & gas exploration. From 2003 to 2008, the company has obtained proved gas reserves 4,443×108 m3 in Sichuan Basin, controlled reserves 3,812×108 m3, predicted reserves 5,050 ×108 m3 and 3rd level reserves 13,306×108 m3 and the project of ˇ¶Natural Gas Reservoiring Mechanism Of Marine Deep Carbonate Rocks, Exploration Technology & Discovery of Puguang Gas Fieldˇ·won the first prize of national scientific and technological progress.
