National Energy Administration: Accelerate the start of oil and gas exploration and development and the integrated development of new energy sources such as wind power

On April 4, the National Energy Administration organized a kick-off meeting to accelerate the integrated development of oil and gas exploration and development and new energy, thoroughly implemented the decision-making and deployment of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China on "increasing the exploration and development of oil and gas resources, increasing reserves and production" and "promoting clean, low-carbon and efficient utilization of energy", continued to improve the volume of oil and gas commodities and the ability to guarantee comprehensive energy supply, studied the focus of work and specific implementation measures, and promoted the implementation of the "Action Plan for Accelerating the Integrated Development of Oil and Gas Exploration and Development and New Energy (2023-2025)".

The meeting pointed out that in order to further strengthen the bottom line of oil and gas supply security, it is necessary to "open source" and "throttle" at the same time, and take multiple measures to increase oil and gas supply. On the one hand, we will accelerate our entry into the "deep-sea, deep, and unconventional" fields, continue to improve the recovery rate of old oil and gas fields, and maintain the intensity of exploration and development. On the other hand, it is necessary to find ways to come up with measures around the "upstream field of oil and gas is not only a major energy producer, but also a large energy consumer". The upstream field of oil and gas has great potential for the integrated development of exploration and development and new energy, and by vigorously implementing clean energy substitution and simultaneously increasing the supply of oil and gas commodities, it is a realistic way to enhance oil and gas supply capacity and significantly reduce energy consumption and carbon emissions in oil and gas production, and it is also an active exploration of building an energy supply system of "coal, oil, gas, nuclear, new energy and renewable energy".

The meeting emphasized that the 14th Five-Year Plan period is a critical period for energy transition. China's new energy industry has developed significantly, showing a trend of rapid improvement in performance, continuous improvement in economy, and increasing application scale. On the demand side, the shift to electrification is accelerating for oil and gas production. At the same time, the domestic oil and gas resource rich areas have abundant wind, solar and thermal resources, and oil and gas exploration and development have strong demand and capacity to absorb new energy, which provides a good basic condition for large-scale new energy construction. All oil and gas development enterprises should work with new energy and power enterprises to closely integrate the actual situation of oil and gas production, earnestly grasp the law of scientific development, unswervingly promote the increase of oil and gas production and supply, unswervingly promote green and low-carbon transformation and high-quality development, and promote the upstream of oil and gas to play a greater role in the new energy system.

On March 22, the National Energy Administration issued the Notice on the Action Plan for Accelerating the Integrated Development of Oil and Gas Exploration and Development and New Energy (2023-2025).

The "Notice" pointed out that by 2025, vigorously promote the integrated development of oil and gas exploration and development and new energy, and actively expand the scale of oil and gas enterprises to develop and utilize green electricity, the main development goals include, adhere to the development in protection, protection in development, environmental protection priority, accelerate the development and utilization of geothermal, wind and solar energy resources, innovate energy supply and demand dynamic matching core technologies and working models, actively promote environmentally friendly, energy conservation and emission reduction, multi-energy integration of oil and gas production system, and strive to build a "low-carbon" and "zero-carbon" oil and gas field.

The transformation of the industry has accelerated significantly. Vigorously promote the development of oil and gas enterprises in the new energy industry, and continue to promote the transformation and upgrading of energy production and supply structure. Actively promote onshore oil and gas exploration and development, self-consumption wind power and photovoltaic power generation, and centralized and distributed development of wind and solar power generation. Coordinate the promotion of offshore wind power and oil and gas exploration and development, form a complementary power supply model for the regional power system of offshore wind power and oil and gas fields, and gradually realize the integrated development of industries.

Optimize the development mode and promote the high-quality development of oil and gas exploration and development and the integration of new energy. Adhere to ecological priority, adapt measures to local conditions, and diversified and integrated development, and focus on local and nearby consumption in the initial stage, vigorously promote wind power and photovoltaic power generation in onshore oil and gas mining areas and surrounding areas, coordinate the promotion of offshore wind power and oil and gas exploration and development, accelerate the improvement of new energy development, utilization and storage capacity in the upstream of oil and gas, and actively promote the demonstration construction of green oil and gas fields.

Coordinate the promotion of onshore oil and gas exploration and development and wind and solar power generation. Make full use of the advantages of onshore oil and gas fields with good wind and solar energy resource endowment, superior construction conditions, and conditions for sustainable large-scale development, and strive to improve the local consumption capacity of new energy. Focus on promoting the centralized development of wind power and photovoltaic power generation in Daqing, Changqing, Shengli, Tarim, Xinjiang, North China and other oilfields, support oil and gas exploration and development of clean energy, accelerate the realization of fuel oil and gas substitution, improve oil and gas recovery, and greatly increase the supply of oil and gas commodities. In oil and gas mining areas and surrounding areas, actively promote the distributed development of wind power and photovoltaic power generation in oil areas, focus on promoting the application of low-speed wind power technology, rationally use resources such as barren hills and hills, and coastal mudflats, and actively promote the development of wind power in the vicinity. In Xinjiang, Qinghai, Gansu and other areas rich in oil and gas and solar energy resources, we will build demonstration projects for the simultaneous development and comprehensive utilization of oil and gas and solar energy, and make full use of solar concentrating heat collection and heat storage technology to achieve clean heating in the oil and gas production process and help low-carbon oil and gas development.

Coordinate and promote offshore oil and gas exploration and development and offshore wind power construction. Through the development of offshore wind power, it will provide green power for oil and gas platforms, replace distributed gas or oil-fired power generation, improve energy efficiency, reduce carbon emissions, and form a complementary power supply mode between offshore wind power and oil and gas field regional power systems. Considering that the development of offshore oil and gas fields and the subsequent rolling production involve the planning and layout of aviation, transportation and pipeline construction, the construction of new energy in the surrounding areas should be prioritized by oil and gas development enterprises as a whole, so as to gradually realize the integrated development of offshore wind power and offshore oil and gas industry. Fully rely on shore power to ensure the integrated development of the oil and gas industry and offshore wind power. In the absence of shore power, promote offshore wind power to supply power directly to the isolated grid of the platform, and implement partial substitution of green power; In the case of shore power, the power grid will be used as peak shaving, and a high proportion of offshore wind power will be promoted to supply power to oil and gas platforms, and all green power will be gradually replaced. Actively and orderly develop floating wind power to deliver green power to deep-sea oil and gas platforms.

Improve the efficiency of the filing of oil and gas exploration and development and new energy integration projects. Relying on the national online approval and supervision platform for investment projects, new energy facilities such as wind and solar power generation, hydrogen energy and geothermal, source-grid-load-storage, microgrids and other new energy facilities used for oil and gas exploration and development shall be used as supporting facilities for the capacity construction of oil and gas development projects, and the filing procedures shall be handled as a whole.
