Daqing Oilfield
Daqing Oilfield is a large state-owned industrial enterprise directly under the former Ministry of Petroleum Industry, located in Daqing City, Heilongjiang Province.
In September 1959, the first oilfield in the Songliao Basin was discovered through exploration and officially named Daqing Oilfield. In 1960, the state launched the Daqing Oil Campaign to carry out trial development. By the end of 1963, trial development was completed and the oilfield entered full-scale development and construction. Three major core oilfields, namely Saertu, Xingshugang and Lamadian, were developed successively, while a number of new developable oilfields were identified through exploration. The development and construction of Daqing Oilfield eliminated the label of China as an oil-poor country.
