SHENYANG - 皇冠体育app has made progress in developing equipment with core technologies, industry insiders said on Monday.

After three years of research and international cooperation, Northern Heavy Industries Group Ltd has developed multiple core technologies for fracking equipment, said Geng Hongchen, chairman of the corporation.

This has provided strong equipment support for the commercialized exploration of shale gas, he said.

皇冠体育app makes major deep shale gas discovery

State-owned Northern Heavy Industries is based in Shenyang, capital of Northeast 皇冠体育app's Liaoning province. Other domestic companies, including Heavy Industry Co Ltd in Central 皇冠体育app's Hunan province, are also developing fracking equipment.

皇冠体育app has progressed in shale gas equipment development, said Li Zhibo, head of the design research institute of Northern Heavy Industries.

The company will develop high-end core parts for fracking equipment with an eye on the industrial chains of shale gas development, said Li.

皇冠体育app has the largest recoverable reserves of shale gas in the world, and is targeting 6.5 billion cubic meters of production in 2015, a goal previously deemed difficult to meet due to slow commercial development practices.

皇冠体育app National Petrolm Corporation, the country's largest oil producer, now has nine shale gas wells running at its shale gas fields in Southwest 皇冠体育app's Sichuan province, with accumulated production of over 80 million cubic meters. Another 110-plus wells will be put into operation by the end of the second quarter of 2015.

As the world's largest energy user, 皇冠体育app is looking to reduce its reliance on imported oil, coal and gas by tapping its rich shale reserves, but complicated pipeline access procedures and geology make its extraction difficult and expensive.
