The Tarim Oilfield has transported more than 6 billion cubic meters of natural gas to the five prefectures in southern Xinjiang this year, a year-on-year increase of 1.31
billion cubic meters.
In August 2013, after PetroChina's "No. 1 Project" to aid Xinjiang - the Southern Xinjiang Natural Gas Benefiting Project was completed and put into operation, the Tarim Oilfield Southwest Exploration and Development Company became the primary gas source to ensure gas supply in southern Xinjiang. This company has accelerated the implementation of three major projects: stabilizing production in old gas fields, increasing production in new gas fields, and large-scale trial production in new areas. It is focusing on improving the oil and gas production capacity of Hotan River, Kekeya, Akmomu and other gas fields, so that people in resource areas can enjoy more. Benefits brought by oil and gas exploration and development.
"It is our greatest responsibility to ensure the safe use of gas by people of all ethnic groups in southern Xinjiang. We will take good care of every set of equipment and do our best to deliver every gas." said Chen Yingping, deputy director of the production and operation department of the Southwest Taxi Company. At present, for every 3 cubic meters of natural gas produced by the Southwest Taxi Company, 1 cubic meter is used for people's livelihood in various states in southern Xinjiang.
Guaranteeing the supply of natural gas is a major test of energy and people's livelihood. Tarim Oilfield has seized the opportunity of the rapid growth of domestic natural gas demand, regarded natural gas as a growth and strategic project, continued to increase exploration and development efforts, made every effort to march into deep and ultra-deep layers, and comprehensively conquered and mastered a series of 8,000-meter ultra-deep exploration and development technologies. Achieve rapid growth in natural gas reserves and production. Now, through the "Happiness Pipeline" of the Dabei Branch of the Southern Xinjiang Natural Gas Benefit Project, more than 1.1 billion cubic meters of natural gas are flowing south from the Dabei Processing Station in the ultra-deep zone every year, giving the counties and cities along the way more "confidence" for development.
Maintain the bottom line of energy consumption for people's livelihood and ensure that people have a warm winter. This year, Tarim Oilfield has accelerated the implementation of the natural gas supply capacity improvement project in the five prefectures in southern Xinjiang, accelerated the advancement of 11 technical measures, and deployed 14 key projects to ensure natural gas supply this winter and next spring from the aspects of resource increase, pipeline network potential tapping, and system optimization. project. As the main gas field supplying gas to southern Xinjiang, the Hotan River Gas Field tapped its potential through technology and successfully resumed production of Ma 5-1, a well that had been lying dormant for 13 years, boosting the gas field's daily gas production to more than one million cubic meters after a lapse of five years.
On the natural gas pipeline covering 4,704 kilometers in southern Xinjiang, more than 900 employees of Party A and Party B of the Tarim Oilfield stayed at their posts, established a "party member commando team", intensified inspections of pipelines and various production devices, and insisted on "standing on duty 24 hours a day, "Supply good gas" to comprehensively ensure the stable and efficient operation of oil and gas pipelines and stations. Currently, the Tarim Oilfield delivers more than 23 million cubic meters of natural gas per day to 42 counties and cities and 46 agricultural and animal husbandry farms in five prefectures in southern Xinjiang, constantly breaking historical records.
With the onset of the cold wave, Tarim Oilfield has focused on the Tarim Southwestern Natural Gas Comprehensive Utilization Project and the Hotan River Natural Gas Purification and Comprehensive Utilization Project, and has gone all out to improve the Hotan River, Akmomu and other gas fields to ensure the supply and peak load regulation of domestic gas in winter. Natural gas supply increased by 5.9 million cubic meters compared with before the winter supply.
So far, the Tarim Oilfield has supplied a total of 55.8 billion cubic meters of gas to southern Xinjiang, allowing more than 8 million people in southern Xinjiang to live a green and low-carbon life, and adding "a handful" to the stove of rapid regional economic development in the five prefectures of southern Xinjiang. fire".
