BEIJING - China National Offshore Oil Corp (CNOOC) said gas production has started from an oil and gas field in the East China Sea.

On an inspection tour at the Chunxiao field last month, a senior government official said the first stage of gas production had begun and urged CNOOC to make good use of its resources, the company's website reported.

"The first phase of Chunxiao oil and gas field has already entered the production stage," Zhang Guobao, vice director of the National Development and Reform Commission, was quoted by the website as saying.

"But inadequate gas usage from downstream users has limited the speed of the oil field's exploration," he added, according to an AFP report.

Japan has disputed China on the maritime boundary that lies between them, and Beijing has insisted its explorations in its East China Sea are within China's territorial waters.
