In 1959, China discovered Daqing Oilfield in Xinjiang, which is one of the largest onshore oilfields in China's history and one of the largest onshore oilfields in the world. This discovery ended the history of poor oil in China and made China a big oil producer.
The discovery of Daqing Oilfield is an important milestone in China's petroleum industry. Before that, China's oil production was very low, not enough to meet domestic demand. China used to import oil from the Soviet Union, but the Soviet Union cut off oil supply in the 1960s, causing serious impact on China's economy.
The discovery of Daqing Oilfield has changed this situation. Its development has greatly increased China's oil production and provided important support for the development of domestic industry and economy. In addition, the discovery of Daqing Oilfield has also made China's oil industry develop rapidly, laying the foundation for China to become a major oil producer.
In short, the discovery of Daqing Oilfield in 1959 was an important milestone in China's oil industry. It ended the history of poor oil in China and made China a major oil producer.
