An oil field with estimated reserves of about 40 million tonnes has been discovered in north China's Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, an oil company said Wednesday.
Located at Temurtei Town in Ulanqab City, the oil field has produced around 50,000 tonnes of crude oil in trial operation, said Shi Yuanpeng, an official with PetroChina Huabei Oilfield Company.
The annual output of the oil field is expected to reach up to 150,000 tonnes in three to five years, Shi said.
