Open source and reduce expenditure to promote oil and gas reserves and production

Experts said that in 2023, the oil and gas industry will accelerate the electrification process, increase the industry's self-produced oil and gas commodity rate and increase external supply capacity through the production of energy "electricity instead of oil" and "electricity instead of gas". With the accelerated recovery of the economy, natural gas consumption is expected to show positive growth, the use of hydrogen energy has begun to receive attention from all parties, the oil and gas exploration and development industry will also accelerate the transformation to a low-carbon and zero-carbon direction, and the application of digitalization in the oil and gas industry chain will become more and more extensive.According to the Blue Book of Analysis and Prospect Report on the Development of China's Oil and Gas Industry (2022-2023) jointly released by the China Petroleum Enterprise Association and other units, China's oil and gas production will remain stable in 2022. In terms of exploration, the new proven geological reserves of oil exceeded 1.4 billion tons, and the new proven geological reserves of natural gas exceeded 1.2 trillion cubic meters. In terms of production, the output of crude oil was 205 million tons, a year-on-year increase of 2.9%, returning to the "safety line" of 200 million tons; The output of natural gas was 220.1 billion cubic meters, a year-on-year increase of 6.07%, and the output increased by more than 10 billion cubic meters for five consecutive years. At the same time, the import of crude oil was 508.28 million tons, a year-on-year decrease of 0.9%, and the dependence of crude oil on foreign countries fell to 71.2%; Imported natural gas was 109.25 million tons, down 9.9% year-on-year, and natural gas dependence on foreign countries dropped to 40.2%.

Under the premise of increasing production to ensure safety, the development quality of China's energy industry has also been significantly improved. The report shows that with the completion and operation of new refining and olefin units, China's petrochemical industry has achieved a new leap forward in the scale concentration, petrochemical base clustering, overall technical level and core competitiveness of the industry. At present, the number of refineries with more than 10 million tons in China has increased to 32, and the agglomeration effect of refining and chemical integration is becoming more and more apparent.Experts said that with the accelerated recovery of the economy, China's oil and gas production will also usher in a better development environment, and it is expected that China's oil and gas production will continue to maintain a growth trend in 2023, with crude oil production sticking to the "200 million tons +" safety line and natural gas production exceeding 235 billion cubic meters. With the lowering of the entry threshold for various types of capital in the market, in the future, the domestic refining industry will show the characteristics of large-scale, integrated, base-based, park-based, digital and green.

The level of science and technology is constantly improving

Only by mastering the key core technologies in our own hands can we fundamentally ensure national energy security with scientific and technological strength. Over the years, China's upstream and downstream enterprises in energy production and construction have been catching up in the research and development of key core technologies, and have become world-class in many fields.New breakthroughs have been made in the field of pipeline transportation. At present, China has formed a third-generation pipeline technology system represented by the China-Russia East Route Natural Gas Pipeline, and the overall technical level ranks among the world's first phalanx. Taking China Petroleum Pipeline Bureau as an example, it has mastered a number of core technologies with independent intellectual property rights, such as the construction and operation of oil and gas pipelines, the construction of large-scale underground oil storage and gas storage, the construction of above-ground storage tanks, the construction of LNG liquefaction and receiving stations, the construction of surface engineering of oil and gas fields, marine engineering, pipeline maintenance and internal testing, the construction of pure hydrogen/hydrogen-doped long-distance pipelines, the utilization of hydrogen energy, and the design and manufacture of oil and gas storage and transportation equipment.Exploring new increments in the field of energy production. Deep and ultra-deep oil and gas are important areas and main battlefields for increasing reserves and production in the future, and the development of offshore oil and gas is an important support for China to reduce its dependence on foreign oil and gas, and unconventional oil and gas is becoming an important part of China's oil and gas production capacity. Leading enterprises in the petrochemical industry such as PetroChina and Sinopec have been committed to the exploration and development of deep and ultra-deep oil and gas resources, and have made important breakthroughs. In 2022, PetroChina alone drilled 45 ultra-deep wells of 8,000 meters in the Tarim oilfield.In addition, oil and gas enterprises will give full play to the advantages of natural gas resources and industries, carry out scientific research and technical practices such as carbon capture, utilization and storage industry exploration, establish multi-energy complementary new energy bases in deserts, Gobi and desert oil areas and pipelines, and build a comprehensive energy service system of "oil, gas, hydrogen and electricity".

Continue to make efforts to reduce pollution and carbon emissions

While ensuring national energy security, China's energy industry itself has also continued to make efforts in green development, pollution reduction and carbon reduction, and contributed to promoting carbon peak and carbon neutrality.On the one hand, China has built the world's largest clean power generation system, and the installed capacity of wind, solar, water and biomass power generation ranks first in the world. According to statistics, in 2022, China's new installed capacity of wind power and photovoltaic power generation will exceed 120 million kilowatts, reaching 125 million kilowatts, exceeding 100 million kilowatts for three consecutive years, setting a new record high, and the installed capacity of renewable energy will exceed 1.2 billion kilowatts, reaching 1.213 billion kilowatts, accounting for 47.3% of the country's total installed power generation capacity, an increase of 2.5% over 2021. China has become an active participant and an important contributor to the global response to climate change. In 2022, China's renewable energy power generation is equivalent to reducing domestic carbon dioxide emissions by about 2.26 billion tons, and wind power is exportedPhotovoltaic productsIt will reduce carbon dioxide emissions for other countries by about 573 million tons, with a total reduction of 2.83 billion tons, accounting for about 41% of the global carbon emission reduction from renewable energy in the same period.

On the other hand, new steps have been taken in the clean utilization of traditional energy, and the efficiency of energy utilization has been greatly improved. In 2022, the comprehensive energy consumption per unit of calcium carbide of national key energy-consuming industrial enterprises will decrease by 1.6%, the comprehensive energy consumption per unit of synthetic ammonia will decrease by 0.8%, the comprehensive energy consumption per unit of electrolytic aluminum will decrease by 0.4%, and the standard coal consumption per kilowatt-hour of thermal power generation will decrease by 0.2%. In 2022, the energy consumption per 10,000 yuan of GDP will decrease by 0.1% compared with the previous year, and the carbon dioxide emissions per 10,000 yuan of GDP will decrease by 0.8%, and energy conservation, consumption reduction and emission reduction will be steadily promoted.The goal of carbon peak and carbon neutrality puts forward higher requirements for the high-quality development of the energy industry. According to the forecast of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, China's primary energy consumption will peak around 2030, with a peak of about 6 billion tons of standard coal. It is estimated that by 2030, coal, oil, gas, and non-fossil energy will account for 42.8%, 18.4%, 12%, and 26.9% respectively; It is estimated that by 2060, coal, oil, gas, and non-fossil energy will account for 5%, 5.6%, 9.4%, and 80% respectively.

To achieve such a goal, all parties need to work together. "The coal power industry is a key industry for carbon dioxide emissions in China's power sector, and the rational construction of supportive and regulated advanced coal power and the clean and efficient use of coal are the fundamental needs to promote the green and low-carbon development of energy." Guo Chengzhan, Secretary of the Party Committee and President of the China Environmental Protection Industry Association, said that it is necessary to further play the role of the power environmental protection industry, promote the implementation of energy structure optimization and low-carbon energy substitution in the coal power industry, and help China's coal power industry build the world's largest clean and efficient coal power system."Coordinating the promotion of air pollution prevention and control and the implementation of the 'double carbon' goal is a key task in the coming period." Zhang Dawei, deputy director of the Department of Atmospheric Environment of the Ministry of Ecology and Environment, said that the Ministry of Ecology and Environment will work with relevant departments to carry out synergistic actions on air pollution reduction and carbon reduction, reduce air pollutants and carbon emissions from the source, adhere to the coordinated development of non-fossil energy and coal centralized clean and efficient utilization, and use policy coordination and mechanism innovation as a means to focus on key areas, focus on key industries, and highlight key areas, and promote the synergy of pollution reduction and carbon reduction as a whole.
