The daily crude oil production of Bohai Oilfield, the largest offshore oilfield in China, has exceeded 100,000 metric tons, setting a new historic record in nearly 60 years of the oilfield's development and construction, said its operator China National Offshore Oil Corp on Tuesday.

9月3日，中国海洋石油集团有限公司(下称中国海油)发布消息称，其下属渤海油田原油日产突破10万吨大关，创油田开发建设近60年来历史最高水平。

Established in 1965, Bohai Oilfield is the birthplace of China's offshore oil industry and is currently the largest, most productive, and most profitable major oilfield in Chinese waters. It has over 50 operational oil and gas fields and more than 200 production facilities, with cumulative oil and gas equivalent production exceeding 500 million tons, it said.

渤海油田始建于1965年，是中国海洋石油工业的发源地，也是中国海域目前产量最高、规模最大、效益最好的主力油田，现已建成50余个在生产油气田、200余座生产设施，累产油气当量超5亿吨。

According to Zhang Chunsheng, deputy general manager of CNOOC's Tianjin branch, 100,000 tons of crude oil account for about one-sixth of the country's daily crude oil output and can meet the weekly demand of a large city with a population of tens of millions.

据中国海油天津分公司副总经理张春生介绍，10万吨原油约占全国原油日产量的六分之一，可供应千万级人口大型城市一周的使用需求。

This plays a significant role in ensuring national energy security, promoting economic development, and meeting people's daily needs, he said.

这对确保国家能源安全、促进经济发展、满足人民生活需要具有重要作用。

Bohai Oilfield is located in the Bohai Bay Basin, which is rich in oil and gas resources but has complex geological structures, making exploration and development challenging.

渤海油田地处渤海湾盆地，油气资源丰富，但地质构造复杂，油藏分布零散，勘探开发难度大。

The oilfield will continue to increase investment in exploration and development, aiming to achieve 40 million tons of oil and gas production by 2025, he said.

接下来，渤海油田将持续加大勘探开发投入力度，加快推动渤中19-2油田、渤中26-6油田等重点项目建设，确保2025年实现油气上产4000万吨。
