Three prospects at the Weiyuan field — Wei 202, Ning 201 and YS 108 — have confirmed recoverable shale gas reserves of 41 billion cubic metres, out of 164 Bcm of gas in place, according to an internal newsletter published by PetroChina.
At Wei 202, PetroChina plans to build six wellpads with 36 drilling slots.
The report said that the reserves have been verified by the Ministry of Land & Resources, the government upstream watchdog.
