The Fuling shale gas field in southwest China's Chongqing Municipality has produced over 70 billion cubic meters of shale gas, reducing annual carbon emissions by 12 million tonnes, which is an equivalent of planting 110 million trees.
Started operation in 2014, the Fuling shale gas field is China's sixth largest natural gas field, with its daily production reaching 20 million cubic meters. As an important gas source in the West-to-East Gas Transmission pipeline project, the gas field supplies natural gas to more than 70 cities along the Yangtze River Economic Belt. According to China Sinopec, the total production of the gas field has exceeded 70 billion cubic meters.
As a major source of natural gas, the Fuling shale gas field is also considered a model for green energy development. Its operations are estimated to reduce carbon emissions by 12 million tonnes annually, equaling planting 110 million trees.

Russia's Defense Ministry on Monday declared a ceasefire on May 8-9 in honor of the Victory Day celebration, while Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky announced the same day that Ukraine will implement a ceasefire with Russia starting Wednesday.
The truce was declared in accordance with a decision by Russian President Vladimir Putin, the ministry said, voicing hope that the Ukrainian side will follow suit. It added the Russian forces would take all necessary measures to ensure security during the commemorative events.
The ministry also warned that any attempts to disrupt the Victory Day celebrations would trigger a "massive missile strike" on central Kiev.
Russia will hold its annual Victory Day parade on Saturday to mark the 81st anniversary of the victory in the Soviet Union's Great Patriotic War, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said late last month.
In response, Zelensky said in a post on X that the Ukrainian side is "announcing a ceasefire regime starting at 00:00 on the night of May 5-6. In the time left until that moment, it is realistic to ensure that silence takes effect."
Ukraine will act reciprocally starting from that moment, Zelensky said.
