By Wan Zhihong | China Daily | Updated: 2008-12-16 08:13

China National Petroleum Corp (CNPC), the country's largest oil and gas producer, has found a natural gas field with a proven reserve of 100 billion cu m in northern Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region.

The Klameli field is the first reserve of this size ever discovered around the Junggar Basin, said Chen Xinfa, general manager of Xinjiang Oilfield Co, a subsidiary of CNPC.

Discovery of the field, about 250 km away from Karamay city, will alleviate the gas shortage in northern Xinjiang, said Chen.
