TAIYUAN, March 16 (Xinhua) — Daily gas output from China's largest coalbed methane field, Daning-Jixian, in north China's Shanxi Province, reached a record high of 11 million cubic meters, the field's operator, PetroChina Coalbed Methane Co., Ltd., said on Sunday.
The field, located on the eastern edge of the Ordos Basin, is a government-owned demonstration project for coalbed methane production that has been operational since 2019. Its proven reserves amount to 400 billion cubic meters.
By the end of 2025, the Daning-Jixian field had produced a total of 3.05 billion cubic meters of coalbed methane, making it China's largest field of this unconventional natural gas.
Construction of the project's second phase is currently underway. This is expected to increase production capacity by 1.5 billion cubic meters per year.
As an unconventional natural gas, coalbed methane is considered a clean and strategic energy resource. Its use helps reduce production risks, curb greenhouse gas emissions, and mitigate gas shortages.
The country's major coal basins, including the Ordos, Sichuan, and Dzungarian basins, are rich in coalbed methane reserves. Total coalbed methane reserves in the country are estimated at over 40 trillion cubic meters. -0-
