The Ministry of Natural Resources released a report that PetroChina's remaining proven technology recoverable reserves have reached 3.689 billion tons

On September 21, the reporter learned from the Ministry of Natural Resources that the China Mineral Resources Report (2022) (hereinafter referred to as the "Report") has been released
.
The Report comprehensively reflects China's new progress in geological and mineral survey and evaluation, mineral resources exploration and development, mine ecological restoration, green mine construction and other aspects since 2021, new changes in mineral resources policies and regulations, new measures in mineral resources management, new developments in scientific and technological innovation, and new achievements
in international geological and mineral cooperation along the "Belt and Road".

The "Report" shows that geological prospecting has continuously made breakthroughs, and the foundation of mineral resources has been further consolidated
.
By the end of 2021, the recoverable reserves of China's remaining proven technology of petroleum and natural gas have reached 3.
689 billion tons and 6,339.
267 billion cubic meters, and breakthroughs have been made in the exploration of new strata, new types and new areas in many basins such as Ordos, Junggar, Tarim, Sichuan and Bohai Bay
.
Major progress has been made in the geological exploration of non-oil and gas minerals, and 95 new mineral sites will be discovered nationwide in 2021, including 38 large ones and 34 medium-sized ones
.

The construction of legal systems in the field of mineral resources has continued to advance, and management capabilities have been further improved
.
The revision of the Mineral Resources Law continued to advance, and the Regulations on the Management of Groundwater were promulgated and implemented
.
In terms of system construction, the professional qualifications of mining rights appraisers are included in the National Occupational Qualification Catalogue (2021 Edition), which clearly defines the scope of use of
temporary land related to geological exploration.

Positive results
have been achieved in the conservation and comprehensive utilization of mineral resources.
China adheres to the basic national policy of conserving resources and protecting the environment, takes resource conservation and green development as the foundation, and promotes the comprehensive conservation and efficient utilization of China's mineral resources through a series of measures, and the comprehensive utilization of mineral resources has achieved positive results
.

The ecological restoration and green development of mines have been solidly promoted, and new progress
has been made in the construction of ecological civilization in the mining field.
Formulate the "14th Five-Year" mine ecological restoration planning plan and carry out the verification
of historical legacy mines.
Strengthen the ecological restoration
of mines left over from the history of key river basins and regions.
Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the construction of green mines has become an important platform and vivid practice
for promoting the construction of ecological civilization in the mining field from initiative exploration, to pilot demonstration, and then to the promotion of linkage between the upper and lower levels.

Geological data resources continue to be enriched, and socialized services are further promoted
.
Deeply promote socialized services, and actively provide special services
for the construction of major national projects, ensuring resource security, various types of planning, ecological restoration, earthquake relief, etc.

The scientific and technological achievements in the field of mineral resources are remarkable, and the ability of scientific and technological innovation has been continuously enhanced
.
In 2021, we actively promoted the implementation of national science and technology plan projects such as the national key research and development plan, and produced a number of important results; 8 national standards and 115 industry standards in the field of geology and mineral resources have
been issued and implemented.
In terms of the national science and technology innovation platform, the National Engineering Research Center for Natural Gas Hydrate Exploration and Development has been approved for construction, and 4 national engineering technology research centers
have been established, including the comprehensive utilization of national non-metallic mineral resources.

It is reported that the Ministry of Natural Resources has built 40 key laboratories, 24 engineering technology innovation centers and 38 field scientific observation and research stations in the field of mineral resources, and the research fields cover geological and mineral survey and evaluation, mineral resources exploration, mineral resources development and utilization, mine ecological restoration and other fields
