Under the “dual carbon” initiative

geothermal energy is gaining attention as a focus of development due to its stability

high quality

abundant reserves

and green

low-carbon attributes. Petroleum companies have inherent advantages in geothermal energy development

yet effective reference models and experiences for market-oriented and large-scale applications remain limited. Leveraging these advantages to advance geothermal energy development has become a new developmental challenge for petroleum enterprises. PetroChina Jidong Oilfield seized the opportunity to expand its geothermal business by utilizing a comprehensive resource assessment system

scientific planning

efficient project execution

and extensive management experience. The introduction of advanced sandstone reservoir pressure-free reinjection technology has successfully addressed the challenge of large-scale sandstone geothermal reservoir development

establishing a new model for urban district heating and clean energy substitution. This replicable and scalable “Jidong Model” provides a blueprint for traditional petroleum companies in geothermal resource development

fostering a green

low-carbon

and high-quality transformation in the industry through new productivity models.
