LOS ANGELES, May 27 -- China Petroleum & Chemical Corp. (Sinopec) said 97% of its natural gas wells in Sichuan Province have resumed production after the earthquake 2 weeks ago.
Some 208 wells out of the total 218 have resumed production, according to Chen Ge, secretary to the board of governors.
Last week Sinopec's giant Chuanxi gas field in Sichuan was reported to be producing at 20% of capacity after many chemical plants were closed, up from only 10% earlier when 1,000 gas wells were shut in (OGJ Online, May 23, 2008).
