According to CNPC, China's largest desert oilfield, the Hadu-Fuman field, has produced over 26 million tons of oil and gas from depths exceeding 6,000 meters. Recently, well Zhen Tan No. 1, located on the northern edge of the Taklamakan Desert, successfully retrieved a core sample from 8,080 meters underground, where it had been buried for approximately 500 million years. This marks China's first retrieval of a core sample from depths exceeding 8,000 meters in the northwest margin of the Tarim Basin. (CCTV News)
