China taps ultra-deep oil reserves 6,000 metres deep as global energy turmoil continues

China has successfully tapped ultra-deep oil reserves, reaching depths of 6,000 metres, in the western region of Xinjiang. This achievement is significant as it expands China's domestic oil supply, helping to reduce reliance on foreign imports. The global energy turmoil, driven by supply chain disruptions and geopolitical tensions, has made it essential for countries to explore alternative sources of energy.

Why it matters

China's efforts to expand domestic oil and gas supply could reduce its reliance on imports and boost energy security. This could also lead to increased investment in the energy sector and higher demand for related services and equipment.
