China - South Sulige

Partnership with Chinese National Oil Companies (NOCs)

Location: China

Partners: PetroChina (51%), TotalEnergies (49%)

Main activity: LNG production

Commissioning: 2012

TotalEnergies EP China has been present in the South Sulige Block since 2006, partnering with PetroChina Changqing Oilfield Company (PCOC), with TotalEnergies holding a 49% stake and PetroChina operating the project with a 51% share.

Located in the Ordos Basin in Inner Mongolia, the block spans an area of 2,392 km². The initial Overall Development Plan (ODP) was approved in 2010, and first gas was achieved in 2012, targeting a plateau of 3.0 billion cubic meter per annum (bcma). ODP was revised in 2021 targeting a plateau increase to 4.0 bcma.

Over 1,200 wells have been drilled and connected. The project benefits from the combination of TotalEnergies’ technical expertise and the national oil company’s experience and cost-effective development strategies, particularly suited for the tight gas characteristics of the South Sulige field.
