Discovered in 1959 by [[Wang Jinxi]] (known as 'Iron man' Wang, who led No. 1205 drilling team), this field has produced over 10 billion barrels (1.6 km³) of oil since production started in 1960. Daqing contained 16 billion barrels (2.5 km³) or 2.2 billion tons in the beginning; the remaining recoverable reserves are about 3.6 billion barrels (572,000,000 m³) or 500 million tons. The current production rate is about 1 million barrels (160,000 m³) per day, making it the fourth most productive oil field in the world.

On September 25, 1959, an oil exploration team found a large oil reserve in Songliao Basin in northeast China. It would be the largest oil reserve discovered in China for three decades.

As the 10th anniversary of the People's Republic of China was just days away, the newly-discovered oilfield was named "Daqing", which means grand celebration.

Once the oilfield began production, China saw its oil output increase considerably, and its dependence on imported oil reduced greatly.
