You may have heard of the oil country in the Middle East, which is rich in oil resources and has low extraction costs, making it the world's largest oil export region. But you know what?In Xinjiang, our motherland, there is also a place where oil does not need to be extracted and can be poured out on its own!This place is the Heiyou Mountain in the northeast of Karamay City. Come and learn about this place full of wealth~

The Black Oil Mountain is a Triassic oil outcrop in Karamay Oilfield. A group of asphalt mounds formed due to the long-term overflow of crude oil. According to geologists' predictions, as early as 200 million years ago, the Black Oil Mountain began to spill oil.

Black Oil Mountain is not only a unique natural landscape, but also a precious treasure trove of oil resources.

It is estimated that the Karamay Basin where the Black Oil Mountain is located has about 150 billion tons of original reserves and about 30 billion tons of recoverable reserves. This is equivalent to ten times the proven onshore crude oil reserves in China!

Black Oil Mountain not only has rich material value, but also has profound cultural connotations. It witnessed the development process of Xinjiang's petroleum industry,It also carries the dream of unity, struggle, and common prosperity of the people of all ethnic groups in Xinjiang.

As early as the late Qing Dynasty and early Republic of China, nearby people collected crude oil from Black Oil Mountain and transported it to nearby areas on donkeys in exchange for daily necessities. The most famous of them is a Uyghur elderly man named Selimubayi, who lives in a nearby cellar to collect crude oil,He used a donkey to pull a wooden cart to sell between Karamay and Urumqi.

He is hailed as the "first private entrepreneur in Xinjiang".

After the founding of New China in 1949, the central government attached great importance to the development and utilization of Xinjiang's oil resources, and sent a large number of outstanding scientific and technological personnel and engineers to Karamay for exploration and construction. On September 26, 1951, China's first artificial drilling rig, Laowu Well, was drilled near Black Oil Mountain, marking the birth of the new China's petroleum industry.

Since then, generations of oil people have worked hard on the Black Oil Mountain, overcoming countless difficulties and challenges, and creating one miracle after another. theyNot only has it provided valuable energy resources for the country, but it has also brought economic development and social progress to Xinjiang.

Black Oil Mountain is not only a natural wonder and cultural symbol, but also an important oil industry base.It has made tremendous contributions to the economic development and social progress of Xinjiang and even the whole country.

Karamay, where Black Oil Mountain is located, is the first city named after oil in China and one of the largest onshore oil production bases in China.

Karamay has established a complete industrial chain of petroleum exploration, exploitation, processing, transportation, sales, etc. with Black Oil Mountain as the core,A diversified economic structure led by oil has been formed.

Karamay not only produces crude oil and refined oil, but also downstream products such as fertilizers, plastics, rubber, textiles, etc,It has provided important material support for agriculture, industry, and people's livelihoods in Xinjiang and the whole country.

The city is also actively promoting the transformation and upgrading of the petroleum industry, developing high-end industries such as new energy, new materials, and new technologies, and creating a green and low-carbon modern city.

Black Oil Mountain is listed as a national geological park and a national 4A level tourist attraction, and is one of the most distinctive oil tourism attractions in China. On Black Oil Mountain,Tourists can witness with their own eyes the gushing of crude oil from underground, forming various strange black hills.These hills shimmer in the sunlight and sway in the wind, giving people a mysterious and spectacular feeling.

There are also many oil related tourism projects and cultural activities near Black Oil Mountain. Tourists can visit China's first artificial drilling rig, Laowu Well, and experience the pioneering spirit of the new China's petroleum industry.Tourists can also visit the Karamay Museum to learn about Xinjiang's petroleum history and culture.
