Before the peace talks between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, China had two oil fields that were relatively well developed. One was the Yumen Oil Field. In the hinterland of the Gobi Desert, at the foot of the Qilian Mountains, was the "cradle" of China's oil industry - the Yumen Oil Field, where the first oilfield of New China was born.
An oil well, the first oil field, and the first petrochemical base. Since New China announced the completion of the first oil industry base here in December 1957, the Yumen Oilfield has served as a university, a large testing ground, and a large-scale research and development center for China's petroleum industry.
The research site has shouldered the historical responsibility of “producing products, talents, experience and technology” and has made significant contributions to the development of China’s petroleum industry.
Yumen Oilfield is located in Yumen City, Gansu Province, with the Qilian Mountains to the south, the Gobi Desert to the north, Jiayuguan Pass, the "key to the border" of the Great Wall to the east, and Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes, the "Pearl of Oriental Art", to the west.
, a large-scale comprehensive petroleum enterprise integrating water supply and power supply, machinery manufacturing, and construction and installation, has successively won the title of "Excellent Enterprise in Ideological and Political Work in Gansu Province and the Nation", "Chinese Time-honored Brand", the National "May 1st" Labor Medal, and the first batch of "Abiding by Contracts and Abiding by the Contract" in the country.

PetroChina Yumen Oilfield Branch has 20 grass-roots units with more than 12,000 employees. The original value of fixed assets is 7.8 billion yuan and the net value is 3.88 billion yuan. It is mainly engaged in exploration and development, oil refining and processing, planning and design, water and electricity supply, and underground operations.
, machinery manufacturing, construction and road construction, material procurement and supply, communications and information, transportation, fire protection, property management, medical and health, retirement management and other businesses
Yumen Oilfield is China's first natural oil base. It was developed in 1939 and has gone through nearly 70 years of development. It has successively developed Laojunmiao, Ya'erxia, Shiyougou, Baiyanghe, Danbei, Qingdao, etc.
In the 10 years before liberation, Xiliu Oilfield produced a total of 520,000 tons of crude oil, accounting for 95% of the national crude oil production at that time. The oil products produced by Yumen made special contributions to the Anti-Japanese War and the War of Liberation. In 1959, 1.4 million tons of crude oil were produced.
, accounting for 51% of the country's total crude oil production. Since the 1960s, Yumen Oilfield has been responsible for the "three majors and four exports" (universities, large experimental fields, large research institutes, producing products, producing talents, producing experience, and producing technology).
Historically important mission, he successively fought in Daqing, marched south to Sichuan, ran to Changqing, entered Qaidam for the second time, and fought in Turpan for the third time. He has successively delivered more than 100,000 backbone troops and more than 4,000 pieces of various equipment (sets) to various oil fields across the country.
Known as the "cradle" of China's petroleum industry, it emerged from the Yumen Oilfield and grew into leading cadres at the provincial and ministerial levels. There are 22 academicians of the two academies. The "Iron Man" Wang Jinxi, an outstanding representative of the working class, rushed to Daqing from the banks of the Petroleum River and is famous throughout the country.
The famous poet Li Jizeng once wrote a poem praising Yumen: "The Soviet Union has Baku, China has Yumen, and wherever there is oil, there are Yumen people."
But all this was advanced in 1935. At this time, oil had been discovered in Yumen, but the production technology was immature. Wang Jiuling bought it to build the railway just for oil. At the same time, Wang Jiuling's brother-in-law stationed a regiment here.
At the same time, they also partially protected the Mogao Grottoes in Dunhuang. However, it had already been two years since this team arrived. With Wang Jiuling’s protection, the murals in the Mogao Grottoes in Dunhuang were protected like pandas.
Today, the Yumen plant can produce 600,000 tons per year, and at this time, the railway has also been built to Yumen.
Another oil field is the Sichuan Oilfield, located in the Sichuan Basin. 12 oil fields have been discovered and built in the basin. Four gas areas in the south, southwest, northwest, and east currently produce natural gas output accounting for nearly half of the country's total, making it the first in China in later generations.
large gas field
As for the oil here, it is difficult to exploit. To be honest, Wang Jiuling did not force it. After all, after the oil exploration in Yumen, Beibu Gulf, Mandalay and southern Tibet, although the Qin State is still short of oil, it is not that important, at least for now.
It is not worth spending so much money to extract oil, so we only extract natural gas here. Now many people in the city lack gas or use induction cookers, and no longer use dirty coal for cooking and boiling water.
Wang Jiuling does not intend to give the Yumen oil field to China, but the oil and gas in Sichuan are also jointly developed. However, Wang Jiuling cannot let others gossip, so it is naturally necessary to help China develop oil and gas resources.
Except for those in the sea, which will not be mined for a while, those on land can basically be mined. Those that have matured in later generations include 1. Daqing Oil Field; 2. Shengli Oil Field; 3. Changqing Oil Field; 4. Liaohe Oil Field; 5. Karamay Oil Field; 6.
16. Yunnan-Guizhou-Guangxi Petroleum Exploration Bureau; 17. Jidong Oilfield. These oilfields are where China’s oil is very concentrated.
Wang Jiuling gave priority to helping China develop these places. However, Wang Jiuling did not know the specific locations of these places. Fortunately, Qin developed earlier and had a group of exploration talents. However, Wang Jiuling could not be too evil. All places were reported, so he just said
Several, of course, with the title of scientific analysis
How oil is formed is theoretically immature. There are other views. The traditional petroleum geological theory believes that oil is formed from biological remains deposited on the seabed millions of years ago. It is covered with sand and decays under the action of microorganisms.
After long-term pressurization and heating, oil and gas are formed. Modern petroleum theory believes that oil is composed of the remains of animals and plants containing organic matter that were buried underground and mixed with sand to form organic sludge.
Buried layer by layer, the deeper they are buried, the more they are buried. Finally, they are isolated from the outside air, creating an anoxic environment. Coupled with the increase in temperature and pressure in the deep layers, anaerobic oxygen bacteria decompose the organic matter and form dispersed
oil droplets, this is oil
For example, the Northeast is rich in forest resources, so there may be many trees buried underground, forming countless amounts of oil.
The terrain of North China is flat. It used to be the sea, and now the land is made up of the accumulation of soil washed down by rivers. There must be a lot of biological remains buried in it, and a lot of oil may also be formed.
In addition, in the deserts of Xinjiang, Wang Jiuling directly said that the Middle East is also a desert, and there is oil there, so there must be some in the deserts of Xinjiang, not to mention that we are so close together, and there is so much oil in the Middle East, there should be some in the letters.
Although Wang Jiuling's reasons are very reluctant, we don't have any better ideas. Besides, what I said also makes sense, so let's start from these places.
