CHONGQING, Jan. 15 (Xinhua) -- The Fuling shale gas field, located in southwest China's Chongqing Municipality, has brought 15 new wells into operation this year, boosting its daily gas output by 600,000 cubic meters, said its developer Sinopec, China's largest oil refiner, on Wednesday.
With the addition of these wells, the Fuling gas field now produces over 25 million cubic meters of shale gas daily, enough to meet the energy needs of nearly 50 million households.
