Daqing oilfield, China's largest oilfield in Northeast China's
Heilongjiang Province, will turn to build a green oilfield, said Wang
Pingtai, deputy director of Public Relations Department of Daqing
Oilfield Co Ltd, on June 9.
"We should balance the relation between resources exploitation and
environmental protection in the oilfield," said Wang, adding they should
not develop the oilfield at the price of environment pollution.

team four to five days to finish drilling an oil well after exploration.

Statistics show Daqing oilfield has over 60,000 oil wells, and produces
400 million cubic meters of oil sewage and six billion cubic meters of
flue gas annually. Environmental protection in the field is a tough job.
However, Daqing oilfield is adopting comprehensive measures to protect
the environment via green construction.
Daqing oilfield has built the largest domestic industrial sewage
treatment system and the largest industrial sewage treatment sample unit
in the world. The harmless treatment of industry wastes reaches 100
percent, and the green ratio stands at 19.8 percent, which helped Daqing
City win the honor of Environmental Protection Model City, the only
reward for inland cities.
During the period from 2000 to 2005, the comprehensive energy consumption
in Daqing oilfield dropped 550,000 coal equivalents although the oil
wells were increased to more than 20,000 units.
The ageing Daqing oilfield, which has been in operation for 47 years,
realized an output of more than 50 million tons per year since 1976. It
maintained this level until 2003, and it pumped out more than 10.6
million tons of crude oil and 670 million cubic meters of natural gas in
the first quarter of this year, basically the same as that of the same
period last year.
