China's Southwest Oil and Gas Field accelerates shale gas development and production ramp-up

On March 29, the Daye 1H1 platform of Chongqing Gas Mine, Southwest Oil and Gas Field, cumulatively produced over 100 million cubic meters of natural gas. This marks a new breakthrough for the company in the development of shale gas in new strata.

The Daye 1 well area pilot test plan is the first shale gas pilot test plan in Southwest Oil and Gas Field to meet the "three compliance standards." Since Chongqing Gas Mine began developing the new WJP formation shale gas, the innovative "zipper + all-electric drive" operation mode has been adopted, setting a domestic record for comprehensive fracturing efficiency in deep shale gas at the Daye 1H1 platform. Additionally, the innovative "mark removal – precise restoration and installation" technology has been implemented, with proactive intervention in key processes such as new well drilling and fracturing. This has resolved the issue of easy freezing and blockage in the early stages of new wells, providing a solid guarantee for efficient shale gas production ramp-up.

Shale gas production requires essential sand removal equipment like desanders.

Shale gas desandingrefers to the process of removing solid impurities such as sand grains, fracturing sand (proppant), and rock cuttings from shale gas streams (with entrained water) through physical or mechanical methods during shale gas extraction and production.

As shale gas is primarily obtained through hydraulic fracturing technology (fracturing extraction), the returned fluid often contains large amounts of sand grains from the formation and residual solid ceramic particles from fracturing operations. If these solid particles are not completely separated early in the process flow, they would cause severe erosion to pipelines, valves, compressors and other equipment, or lead to pipeline blockages in low-lying sections, clogging of instrument pressure guide pipes, or trigger production safety incidents.

SAGA's shale gas desander delivers exceptional performance with its precision separation capability (98% removal rate for 10-micron particles), authoritative certifications (DNV/GL-issued ISO certification and NACE anti-corrosion compliance), and long-lasting durability (featuring wear-resistant ceramic internals with anti-clogging design). Engineered for effortless efficiency, it offers easy installation, simple operation and maintenance, along with extended service life – making it the optimal solution for reliable shale gas production.

Our company is continuously committed to developing more efficient, compact, and cost-effective desander while also focusing on environmentally friendly innovations.

Our desanders come in a wide variety of types and have extensive applications.

SAGA's desanders have been used on wellhead platforms and production platforms in gas and oil fields such as CNOOC, PetroChina, Malaysia Petronas, Indonesia, the Gulf of Thailand, and others. They are used to remove solids in gas or well fluid or produced water, as well as seawater solidification removal or production recovery. Water injection and water flooding to increase production and other occasions.

This premier platform has positioned SAGA as a globally recognized solution provider in solid control & management technology. We always prioritize our customers' interests and pursue mutual development with them.
