CHENGDU, May 7 (Xinhua) -- An oilfield branch of PetroChina, China's largest oil and gas producer, announced their discovery of a huge natural gas belt with an estimated reserve of over 1 trillion cubic meters in southwest China's Sichuan Province.
The PetroChina Southwest Oil and Gasfield Company (SWOG) completed a successful test of prospecting for oil and gas in Tianbao Township of Daying County, which had a daily output of 1.22 million cubic meters of gas, according to the SWOG.
The belt, some 130 km away from the provincial capital of Chengdu, neighbors the gasfield in the Gaoshiti-Moxi area in the middle part of the Sichuan Basin, where the current natural gas production capacity reaches 15 billion cubic meters annually.
Based in Chengdu, SWOG supplies natural gas to more than 1,000 large and medium-sized industrial companies and more than 20 million households in southwest China

Gulf Resources' natural gas and bromine facilities are located extremely close to this discovery, approximately 5 miles away. Even The Company has no detailed exploration information of its own, but according to Petro china's exploration, the company has reason to believe that its wells are located in this natural gas belt.

Gulf believes this discovery could have a material positive impact on the company for a number of reasons. The company had legally registered its current well with local Daying County government and written approval from local Daying County government for the sites for two additional wells. Now that PetroChina has discovered this major belt of natural gas in Tianbao Township, the government will be more focused on finalizing the exploration planning for the township and the county.

The company is optimistic that it will be able to move ahead quickly with its natural gas and brine project.
