October 26, 2025, SHENMU, SHAANXI – In a landmark operation that could reshape the future of unconventional energy extraction, J Energy, in partnership with China United Coalbed Methane Co., Ltd., has successfully executed China’s first-ever hybrid carbon dioxide fracturing operation in deep coalbed methane reservoirs. The operation was completed on October 25, 2025, at the FG-T38-C01X wellsite in Zhejiazhai Village, Lan Ganbao Town, Shaanxi Province.

Targeting coalbed methane reserves at depths exceeding 1,500 meters, the project introduced an innovative pre‑pad hybrid CO₂ fracturing system. By integrating liquid carbon dioxide with J energy’s proprietary environmentally friendly fracturing fluid, the operation achieved three critical breakthroughs:

1. Minimized reservoir damage while significantly enhancing fracture conductivity.
2. Improved fluid recovery efficiency, accelerating well commissioning and production timelines.
3. Enabled geological CO₂ storage, aligning energy development with carbon reduction objectives.

Real‑time downhole monitoring confirmed stable pressure responses throughout the operation, with CO₂ injection efficiency increasing by approximately 40% compared to conventional methods. The stimulated reservoir volume was expanded to 1.8 times that of conventional water‑based fracturing—a clear indicator of both technical feasibility and economic viability for deep coalbed methane development.

“This achievement is a practical demonstration of our ‘Green Exploration’ philosophy,” said Mr. Jiao Bo, Chairman of J Energy. “We are committed not only to energy efficiency but also to harmonizing technological innovation with environmental stewardship. We will continue to deepen collaboration with strategic partners like China United Coalbed Methane to advance China’s unconventional gas industry toward greater efficiency and lower carbon emissions.”

The successful operation establishes a new technical benchmark for the large‑scale development of deep coalbed methane resources in China and contributes a globally relevant solution for greener unconventional energy extraction worldwide. J Energy remains focused on cutting‑edge energy technologies, driving sustainable progress through continuous innovation.
