This report of a tour of the Weiyuan gas field in Central Sichuan, China, highlights natural gas production facilities and techniques observed in that province. Other major gas fields in Sichuan are identified as Wulunghou, Shiyougou, Luzhou, Shendengshan, Zigong, Huanchiachan, Tengchingkuan, Huangkuanshan, and Yenkaohsi. Approximately 300 oil- and gas-bearing structures have been discovered in Sichuan, with gas predominant in the south and oil in the center and east. Total recovery of gas in Weiyuan field is estimated at 38 billion cu m, and presently produces approx. 949 million cu m per year. Other fields in Sichuan have an estimated ultimate recovery of 30 billion cu m. Oil and gas in the province are located in a carbonate sequence deposited on a stable platform extending from the late Proterozoic to the Mesozoic eras. Drilling and production methods are summarized, including a wildcat well in Zigong which had reached a depth of 5272 meters.
