BEIJING, China -- Recon Technology, Ltd., a leading oilfield services provider that operates primarily in the People's Republic of China, has announced that its BHD Petroleum Technology Ltd. division has received a new oilfield access certificate from China’s state-owned oil and gas exploration company, Sinopec, authorizing BHD to provide horizontal fracturing equipment and services at Sinopec’s Northeast oilfield branch in China’s Jilin Province.
BHD has thus far provided fracturing equipment utilized at one of Sinopec Northeast oilfield’s wells. That well produced revenue of approximately RMB 1.2 million ($196,721) for BHD. According to Sinopec’s production plan, an additional 21 wells will require fracturing services in 2014, with a budget of approximately RMB 2 million ($326, 880) per well.
In its work for Sinopec, BHD will continue to utilize the fracturing tools of its long-term technology partner, Baker Hughes. The detailed operating plan and onsite service for Sinopec will be designed and implemented by BHD’s professional service team.
"We are very pleased to receive this Certificate from Sinopec,” said Chen Guangqiang, CTO of Recon Technology. "Not only does this provide us with a key source of incremental revenue, it also corroborates, at the highest industry level, the quality of our oilfield fracturing technology and those fracturing technologies we have developed with Baker Hughes. We will continue to work with Baker Hughes to help expand the use of their products in China’s oilfield services market.
“We look forward to continuing our important work at Sinopec’s oilfields this year, and hopefully, to announcing additional technology contracts in the near future.”
