The energy bowl must be in your own hands

"Energy security is an overall and strategic issue related to the country's economic and social development, and is crucial to the country's prosperity and development, the improvement of people's lives, and the long-term stability of society.From the strategic perspective of national development and security, we must assess the situation and take advantage of the situation to find a way to adapt to the general trend of energy.Addressing the core needs of oil and gas is an important task for us. It is necessary to intensify exploration and development, consolidate the foundation of domestic production, and improve the ability of self-support......."The majority of energy companies keep in mind the entrustment of the general secretary, make every effort to ensure the safe and reliable supply of energy, accelerate the clean and low-carbon transformation of energy, and promote new steps in high-quality energy development."

"Rich in coal and poor in oil and gas is China's national condition, and it is necessary to consolidate the foundation of domestic energy production"As the world's largest energy consumer, how to hold the strategic bottom line of self-sufficiency in domestic production of important energy and effectively ensure national energy security is the primary issue facing China's energy development.

On January 27 this year, General Secretary Xi Jinping came to Shanxi Ruiguang Thermal Power Co., Ltd. for investigation and research. He stressed: "Rich in coal, poor in oil and low gas is China's national condition, and it is necessary to consolidate the foundation of domestic energy production and ensure the safety of coal supply", "power supply and heating are related to the overall situation of economic development and social stability, and are major matters related to people's livelihood."Entering the peak summer period, Hu Junfeng, general manager of Ruiguang Thermal Power, tightened the strings: "Now not only power generation, but also responsible for the cooling of the surrounding Wusu Airport, we must ensure the smooth operation of the unit, and must not live up to the expectations of the general secretary." ”

Oil, known as the "blood of industry", is also an important strategic resource of the country. On October 21, 2021, when General Secretary Xi Jinping inspected Shengli Oilfield, he pointed out: "We were an oil-poor country back then. In the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the oil war played an important role in our country's self-reliance and industrialization under layers of blockade. Our oil front has made great contributions and made great contributions! ”

In late June this year, at the shale oil drilling construction site of the Shengli Oilfield, four drilling rigs rumbled and drilled into the reservoir three or four kilometers underground, which contains rich shale oil resources. If shale is compared to a mille-feuille, shale oil is the butter and powdered sugar, which are scattered in layers of rock, and the research team needs to find the oil in the crevices of 1/270th the diameter of a hair.

The general secretary exhorted everyone to inherit and carry forward the revolutionary spirit and fine traditions of the older generation of oilmen, always maintain the red heritage and fighting feelings of oilmen, and make greater contributions to the cause of socialist modernization. We're more motivated! Zhang Ge, deputy director of the Xianhe Oil Production Plant of Shengli Oilfield, said that 20 horizontal wells have been deployed at the construction site, and the annual production capacity will reach 200,000 tons after completion, laying a solid foundation for the large-scale development of shale oil.

On the other hand, the technology of "eating" carbon dioxide and "spitting" crude oil is being explored and applied in Shengli Oilfield.The general secretary said that green and low-carbon development is the trend, and those who follow it will prosper. This points out the direction for the next development of the oilfield. Li Junliang, chief expert of Shengli Oilfield Exploration and Development Research Institute, said that injecting carbon dioxide into oil wells not only reduces emissions, but also increases crude oil fluidity and improves oil recovery. At present, they are making every effort to promote China's first million-ton CCUS project, which can reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 1 million tons per year after it is put into operation, and can increase crude oil production by nearly 3 million tons in the next 15 years.

"The oil front has always been a banner of the reform and development of the Republic, and we must continue to hold this banner well, and make new contributions and achievements in ensuring national energy security and ensuring economic and social development." The general secretary's remarks made the blood of the oil workers in the Shengli Oilfield boil. This year, they took the initiative to improve the goal of efficiency and stable production.

With the help of the technical path of coal-to-liquid and coal-to-gas, the coal industry is also producing power for oil and gas.The annual output of petrochemical products is 4.05 million tons! On December 19, 2021, there was good news from the Ningxia Coal Industry Indirect Liquefaction Demonstration Project with an annual output of 4 million tons of coal of China Energy Group, marking the world's largest single coal-to-liquid project reaching its design capacity.

On July 19, 2016, in Yinchuan, Ningxia, General Secretary Xi Jinping came to Ningdong Energy and Chemical Base for inspection. The general secretary pointed out: "It is of strategic significance to build such an energy and chemical base in the western part of our country, especially to build a coal-to-liquid project with the largest single scale in the world. ”"The general secretary's impromptu speech was full of power, and the applause and cheers at the scene lasted for a long time." Li Xiaodong, deputy secretary of the Party Committee and general manager of the coal-to-liquid branch of Ningxia Coal Industry Company of the National Energy Group, said that since the completion of the project in 2016, a total of 559 key technological transformations have been carried out, and more than 5,000 innovations have been carried out on the key paths and links of gasification; A total of 7 billion yuan has been invested in environmental protection, and the level of pollutant control has been further improved.

Since 2014, China's energy independence guarantee capacity has always remained above 80%, and the comprehensive energy production capacity has been significantly enhanced. In 2021, China's total primary energy production was 4.33 billion tons of standard coal, an increase of 23.4% over 2012, more than 1/5 of the world's total output, domestic crude oil production rebounded for three consecutive years, increased to 199 million tons, and natural gas production increased by more than 10 billion cubic meters for five consecutive years."While doing a good job in the clean and efficient use of coal, we should accelerate the flexible transformation of coal-fired power units and develop renewable energy"

High-quality energy development should not only be safe and efficient, but also clean and low-carbon. China's commitment to achieve carbon peak to carbon neutrality is far shorter than the time taken by developed countries, as the main source of carbon emissions, the energy industry will undoubtedly have to make arduous efforts.

General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out: "To achieve the goal of carbon peak and carbon neutrality, we must be unswerving, but it is impossible to accomplish it in one battle, and we must insist on seeking progress while maintaining stability and gradually achieve it." It is necessary to base ourselves on national conditions, and coal-based is our basic national condition, and we must base ourselves on this reality to achieve carbon peaking. While doing a good job in the clean and efficient use of coal, we should accelerate the flexible transformation of coal-fired power units, develop renewable energy, promote the optimal combination of coal and new energy, and increase the capacity of new energy consumption. ”

"It is not possible to rely on others, we can only rely on ourselves to carry forward the spirit of self-reliance.The key core technology is not to come, can not be bought, can not be bought", in the field of energy is also the same, only the key core technology in their own hands, in order to fundamentally ensure national energy security.

On April 10 this year, General Secretary Xi Jinping connected the "Shenhai No. 1" operating platform. The general secretary has far-reaching thoughts: "We will use our own equipment to develop our oil and gas, improve our energy self-sufficiency, and ensure our energy security." This is a matter of strategic importance. ”

The total weight of "Shenhai No. 1" exceeds 50,000 tons, and the steel consumption exceeds 7 Eiffel Towers; The total height is 120 meters, which is equivalent to the height of a 40-story building; The total length of the weld of the hull engineering is 600,000 meters, which can circle the sixth ring road of Beijing three times. It is such a steel "giant" that has knocked on the door of China's offshore oil and gas 1,500-meter ultra-deepwater development.

"In the year since it was put into operation, the platform has withstood the test of five typhoons and many winter monsoons, with a maximum wind force of more than 12, and the production and operation have always remained stable." Xu Keqiang, the commander-in-chief of CNOOC's "Shenhai No. 1", is very proud. In the first four months of this year alone, more than 1 billion cubic meters of natural gas were transported from here to the Hainan Free Trade Port and the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, an increase of 71% month-on-month.

Compared with similar semi-submersible platforms at home and abroad, Shenhai No. 1 is larger, more functional and more complex. The general secretary said that a large country with a population of more than 1.4 billion cannot rely on others, and we can only rely on ourselves to carry forward the spirit of self-reliance. This is very encouraging to us. Xu Keqiang said that the construction of "Shenhai No. 1" has created 3 world-first technologies, 13 domestic first-of-its-kind technologies, and overcome more than 10 industry technical problems. In order to stabilize the platform at a depth of 1,500 meters, dozens of scientific experts tested more than 1,000 combinations of main scale parameters of the platform before finding the optimal design scheme.

The earnest exhortation of "relying on oneself" continues to encourage CNOOC to strengthen originality and leading scientific and technological research, and firmly grasp equipment manufacturing in its own hands. On April 25, the main project of the "Haiji-1" platform, Asia's first deepwater jacket platform independently designed and built by China, was completed at sea; On June 14, China's first set of domestic deepwater underwater Christmas trees was successfully installed and the test ...... was completed. In the near future, it will realize the development of deepwater oil and gas resources relying entirely on self-developed equipment. Xu Keqiang is full of confidence.

Only innovation can be self-reliant and be the first. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, China's energy technology innovation capability has been further enhanced. It has successfully developed and manufactured the world's largest hydropower unit with a single capacity of 1 million kilowatts, has a full range of wind turbine manufacturing capacity with a maximum single capacity of 10 megawatts, built a number of nuclear power plants applying advanced third-generation technologies, and greatly improved the technology and equipment level of shale oil and gas exploration and development...... A large number of new energy technologies, new models and new forms of business are booming, and scientific and technological innovation in the energy field has accelerated its transformation from "following and running" to "innovating and leading".

Under the changes of a century, energy security is of great importance. Under the strong leadership of the CPC Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at the core, under the scientific guidance of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, and adhering to the principles of national overall planning, conservation priority, two-wheel drive, internal and external smoothness, and risk prevention, the energy industry will face difficulties, overcome difficulties, and further promote the energy revolution, which will surely open up a new situation of low-carbon energy transformation and high-quality development!

For a long time, Sany Petroleum has been committed to providing efficient and flexible integrated solutions for energy development and utilization, and creating maximum value for customers. In the future, in the oil and gas industry, Sany Petroleum will show more comprehensive and professional service capabilities, strengthen originality and leading scientific and technological research, and firmly grasp equipment manufacturing in its own hands!
