As announced Oct. 16, 2014, the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) of the People’s Republic of China has approved the Overall Development Plan (ODP) for the phased development of the Yongping Oilfield in Fuyu 1 Block. With this approval, development drilling has commenced at Yongping Oilfield in the Fuyu 1 Block. The approved ODP entails the drilling of up to 1,008 shallow wells over a five year period. The crude oil in the Fuyu 1 Block is low sulphur and heavy in nature with an API of 18.5 degree.

Pre-development preparation and the procurement of long lead items started in early 2013. This allowed the drilling of the first 15 development wells to take place soon after the receipt of the ODP approval. The wells were completed within two months of drilling as scheduled. Plans are in place to drill another 40 to 100 shallow development wells in 2015. Production will be ramped up progressively as more wells are drilled under the approved ODP.
