In the past 60 years, Xinjiang oil people have built tens of millions of tons of oil fields and modern livable cities on the Gobi desert. On August 30, 2015, the 60th anniversary celebration of the discovery of the Karamay oil field was held.
At the celebration meeting held on the same day, Chen Xifa, Secretary of the Party committee of Xinjiang Oilfield Company and Secretary of Karamay municipal Party committee, said that over the past 60 years, Karamay has accumulated 2.6 billion tons of oil reserves, and oil and gas exploration has developed and constructed more than 30 oil and gas fields, and crude oil production has continued to grow steadily. In 2002, the output of Karamay Oilfield exceeded 10 million tons, becoming the first large oil field of 10 million tons in western China. Up to now, Karamay has produced more than 0.33 billion tons of crude oil, 72.3 billion cubic meters of natural gas, and paid 189.4 billion yuan in taxes and fees, which has made important contributions to the development and growth of China's petroleum industry and the promotion of Xinjiang's economic and social development.
Today's Karamay Oilfield's oil and gas production has grown steadily, and the industrial chain has continued to extend, achieving a historical leap to a modern large oil and gas field and a national petroleum and petrochemical base; after 60 years of ecological transformation on the Gobi desert, it has developed into a 450000 population and urban greening. A modern livable city with a coverage rate of 43% and a per capita green area of 11.5 square meters.

In the future development, Karamay will shoulder the heavy responsibility and make every effort to promote the construction of modern oil and gas fields.
