Eight major oil and gas fields gather in the Sichuan Basin, Sichuan and Chongqing natural gas develops greatly, and the future is bright

Eight major oil and gas fields are gathered in the Sichuan Basin, Sichuan and Chongqing are developing natural gas, and the future is bright.

The Sichuan Basin is China’s last Noah’s Ark, China’s strategic backup, the main battlefield for the development of the western region, and a new highland for China’s opening up and development. The construction of the Chengdu-Chongqing twin-city economic circle is in full swing, attracting attention from all over the world.

Chengdu’s historic decision to develop eastward across Longquan Mountain and Chongqing’s westward development demonstrate the determination and courage of the top leaders of Sichuan and Chongqing to work toward each other.

During the Anti-Japanese War, the Sichuan Basin served as the rear area of ??China's anti-Japanese war, and Chongqing served as the capital of the Republic of China and the anti-fascist command center in the Far East. They established immortal feats in resisting Japanese aggression. The brave and fearless Sichuan army came out of Sichuan to fight the Japanese with a fearless spirit, which vividly demonstrated the Sichuan people's spirit of never losing sight of the country.

In recent years, Sichuan and Chongqing have experienced rapid economic and social development. People's living standards have continued to improve, people live and work in peace and contentment, and their sense of gain has continued to increase.

In 2020, Chongqing's regional GDP exceeded 2.5 trillion yuan, approaching the first-tier cities Guangzhou and Shenzhen, ranking fifth among cities in the country. Sichuan's regional GDP is close to 5 trillion yuan, catching up with Henan and ranking sixth in the country.

As inland areas, Sichuan and Chongqing strive to catch up with and surpass the developed coastal areas with their fearless spirit, demonstrating the hardworking, brave, tenacious and unyielding character of the Sichuan people.

The Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and the Yangtze River have endowed Sichuan and Chongqing with rich hydropower resources. Immigrants from Chongqing and the Three Gorges Reservoir Area have made huge sacrifices and indelible contributions to the construction of the Three Gorges Project.

Today’s Sichuan and Chongqing regions are not only the main battlefield for hydropower development, but also the main battlefield for China’s natural gas exploration and development, the main battlefield for China’s energy replacement, and the main battlefield for China’s clean energy development.

Overlooking the Sichuan Basin from Gongga, the God of Shu Mountain, the natural gas exploration and development in Sichuan and Chongqing areas has gathered eight major oil and gas fields of PetroChina and Sinopec, and has concentrated the elite exploration and development personnel of PetroChina and Sinopec. Another Daqing rises in the Sichuan Basin!

In 2020, the natural gas production in the Sichuan Basin exceeded 50 billion cubic meters, and the oil and gas equivalent has exceeded that of the Daqing Oilfield. About three-fifths of Sichuan's natural gas production comes from PetroChina and two-fifths from Sinopec.

The eight major oil and gas fields gathered in the Sichuan Basin are: PetroChina Southwest Oil and Gas Field, Sinopec Southwest Petroleum Bureau, Sinopec Southern Exploration Company, PetroChina Daqing Oil Field, PetroChina Zhejiang Oil Field, Sinopec Zhongyuan Oil Field, Sinopec Jianghan Oil Field, Sinopec East China Oil and Gas company.

CNPC Southwest Oil and Gas Field, Sinopec Southwest Petroleum Bureau, and Sinopec Southern Exploration Company are headquartered in Chengdu, CNPC Daqing Oilfield is headquartered in Daqing, Heilongjiang, CNPC Zhejiang Oilfield is headquartered in Hangzhou, Zhejiang, Sinopec Zhongyuan Oilfield is headquartered in Puyang, Henan, and Sinopec Jianghan The oilfield headquarters is in Wuhan, Hubei, and Sinopec East China Oil and Gas Company is headquartered in Nanjing.

In addition to oilfield companies, oilfield service companies are also concentrated in the Sichuan Basin. The Sichuan Basin currently has two major petroleum engineering construction units headquartered in Chengdu, PetroChina Chuanqing Drilling and Sinopec Southwest Petroleum Engineering, as well as domestic construction units dispatched from oil and gas fields that do not have blocks in the Sichuan Basin such as Shengli Oilfield, and international oil fields such as Halliburton. Service companies and private oilfield service companies such as Anton Petroleum participate in natural gas exploration and development.

Oilfield companies and oilfield service companies from all over the country responded to the call for large-scale natural gas development and gathered in the Sichuan Basin to carry out large-scale natural gas exploration, implement large-scale natural gas development, and kick off the great development of natural gas.

Science and technology are the primary productive forces. Southwest Petroleum University, a world-class discipline construction university located in Chengdu, Sichuan, is the intellectual guarantee for the great development of natural gas in the Sichuan Basin and provides strong intellectual support. Petroleum and Natural Gas Engineering of Southwest Petroleum University is one of only five A+ disciplines in Sichuan Province and even the entire southwest region in the fourth round of discipline evaluation by the Ministry of Education.

As a clean energy source, natural gas plays an increasingly important role in the energy system. With the further advancement of carbon peaking and carbon neutrality, my country's natural gas gap is getting bigger and bigger, and natural gas exploration in Sichuan and Chongqing needs to be accelerated!

Whether it is the Puguang Yuanba gas field in northeastern Sichuan, or the Fuling shale gas in Chongqing, or the Anyue southern Sichuan gas field, or the southern Sichuan shale gas, or the Chongqing eastern Sichuan gas field, or the Deyang western Sichuan gas field, or Mianyang Northeast Sichuan Gas Field, the torrent of natural gas exploration and development in the Sichuan Basin is rolling forward.

The total natural gas resources in the Sichuan Basin reach 38.84 trillion cubic meters, ranking first in the country in terms of natural gas resources. In 2025, the annual natural gas production in Sichuan and Chongqing will reach 100 billion cubic meters, which will make greater contributions to the country's energy security and environmental protection.

At the same time, we have noticed that natural gas extraction is extremely risky, especially in the high-containing hydrogen sulfide gas fields in Sichuan and Chongqing, where the exploration and development risks are even greater.

The Kaixian blowout accident 18 years ago is so vivid and shocking that we cannot let it go.

At 21:55 on December 23, 2003, a huge blowout accident occurred in Luojiazhai, Gaoqiao Town, Kaixian County, Chongqing City that shocked the world. Natural gas rich in hydrogen sulfide violently ejected out of the ground, and an out-of-control Toxic gases quickly diffuse into the surrounding air, causing huge losses of life and property.

The accident caused 243 deaths due to hydrogen sulfide poisoning and 2,142 people were hospitalized due to hydrogen sulfide poisoning. Ma Fucai, general manager of PetroChina, resigned.

Safety is more important than Mount Taishan!

Since then, PetroChina and Sinopec have paid more attention to safety in natural gas exploration and development, especially in the exploration and development of high-containing hydrogen sulfide gas fields in Sichuan and Chongqing, with higher standards and more effective measures. Detailed and more complete emergency plans.

Questions about fracking have been raised in recent years. Some people are worried about the possible impact of shale gas hydraulic fracturing on the formation, and worry that shale gas hydraulic fracturing has had a certain impact on recent geological activities in southern Sichuan. We believe that such concerns have no scientific basis and are completely unfounded.

In the face of complex situations, the people of Sichuan and Chongqing are not afraid of difficulties and dangers, and resolutely support natural gas exploration and development, which makes us moved and moved.

Sichuan and Chongqing never fail the country! The people of Sichuan and Chongqing never let down their country!

Natural gas exploration and development in Sichuan and Chongqing are accelerating. Natural gas exploration and development will benefit the country and the people. It will benefit the present and future generations. We fully support it.

Chengdu is opened in nine days, and thousands of households and doors enter the picture.

The apes on both sides of the bank can't stop crying, and the boat has passed the Ten Thousand Mountains.

Forget history and look to the future.

Sichuan and Chongqing, 30 million people from Chongqing and 80 million people from Sichuan, stand on the wave of the new era, bravely be the trendsetters of the new era, and are working towards the grand goal of building a modern and powerful socialist country. go ahead!
