以塔里木盆地为中心创建新疆天然气生产基地

ESTABLISHING THE PRODUCTION BASE OF NATURAL GAS TAKING TARIM BASIN AS MAJOR BASE IN XINJIANG.

从经济、能源、环境整体来看，廿一世纪天然气将替代石油成为人类第四代能源。理论和实践均证明，塔里木盆地蕴藏着丰富的天然气资源，与准噶尔、吐哈、三塘湖、伊犁、焉耆、斋桑盆地一起将成为中国巨大的天然气生产基地。新疆天然气生产基地的建设可分三个阶段逐步展开：本世纪末～２０１０年油气勘探开发并举，勘探深度３～６ｋｍ；２０１０～２０３０年以天然气为主的勘探开发阶段，勘探深度可扩大到６～８ｋｍ；２０３０～２０５０年天然气逐步取代石油，探勘深度将扩大到８～１０ｋｍ，新疆将建成我国最大的天然气生产基地。

Regarding economy, source of energy and environment as a whole, natural gas will become the fourth generation source of energy instead of crude oil in the twenty first century. The theory and practice proved that Tarim basin is rich in natural gas, and will become gigantic production base of natural gas together with Junggar, Turpan Hami, Santanghu, Yili,Yanqi and Zaisang basins. The base construction in Xinjiang may be divided into three stages: oil and gas exploration and development should be paid the same attention from the end of the century to year 2010, with the exploration depth of 3～6 km; year 2010 to 2030 will be the stage dominated by exploration and development of natural gas, with the exploration depth of 6～8 km; toward year 2030 to 2050, natural gas will progressively replace crude, with the exploration depth of 8～10 km. At that time, Xinjiang will become the largest production base of natural gas in China.
