Fuling shale gas: "looking for gas for the country" has been ten years

"Over the past decade, Fuling shale gas field has paid a total of 8.
294 billion yuan in taxes and fees, with a cumulative proven reserve of nearly 900 billion cubic meters and a gas production of 53.
2 billion cubic meters, setting a new record
for the cumulative production of shale gas fields in China.
" On December 28, on the occasion of the 10th anniversary of the development of Sinopec's Fuling Shale Gas Field, it released a social responsibility report, telling the story
of central enterprises that ensure national energy security, drive and lead scientific and technological innovation, and create green development.

Ten years of westerly wind without cold
.
The passion overflowing between the lines of this report has been soaked in Sinopec's "looking for gas for the country" wind and frost years, and surging the magnificent waves of the rapid development of
China's shale gas industry.

Ten years, contribute scientific and technological strength to the development of clean energy

At the beginning of the 21st century, the shale gas revolution transformed the United States from an energy importer to an exporter, changing the world's energy landscape
in one fell swoop.
For China, which is "rich in coal, poor in oil and low in gas" and has to rely on oil and gas imports for a long time, the exploration and development of shale gas is also of great strategic significance
.
As a central energy enterprise, Sinopec shoulders the important task
of "finding gas for the country".

After unremitting efforts, at the end of 2012, Sinopec successfully tested 203,000 cubic meters of high-yield industrial gas flow in the Jiaoxian 1HF well, achieving a major breakthrough
in the history of shale gas exploration in China.
At this point, the prelude to the commercial development of shale gas in China slowly began
.

China's shale gas reservoirs are different from those in the United States, with more complex geological conditions, deeper burials, and great difficulty in
exploitation.
Starting from scratch, Sinopec explored and formed the theory of "binary enrichment" of southern marine shale gas, and innovated and integrated six technical systems
, mainly focusing on comprehensive shale gas geological evaluation technology, development, design and optimization, horizontal well group excellent and fast drilling, long horizontal well efficient fracturing, gas production technology supporting, and green development.
At the same time, give full play to the advantages of the whole industrial chain, independently research and develop grid electric drilling rigs, full voltage cracking units and other equipment tools, break the monopoly of foreign technology, and realize the localization of key equipment
.

In the past ten years, Fuling shale gas field has won 21 scientific and technological progress awards at the provincial and ministerial level, of which "efficient exploration and development of Fuling large-scale marine shale gas field" won the first prize of national scientific and technological progress, formulated 158 shale gas exploration and development standards and specifications, obtained 200 national patent authorizations, three-dimensional development, electric fracturing, repeated fracturing and other technologies are at the international leading level, providing replicable and generalizable experience for shale gas exploration and development, technical equipment, standards and specifications, and industry-university-research combination.
Strong support to lead the high-quality development of
China's shale gas industry.

Ten years, create a "green model" for shale gas development

The Fuling Shale Gas Field Development Area is located at the confluence of the Yangtze River and the Wujiang River, and is an important ecological reserve in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River Economic Belt
.

Sinopec adheres to the spirit of the Yangtze River protection instructions and attaches equal importance to
resource development and ecological protection.
They released the first white paper on environmental protection in China, the White Paper on Environmental Protection of Fuling Shale Gas Development, comprehensively implementing the "reduction-recycling-reuse" clean production mode, and building a "four-in-one" environmental protection supervision mechanism
of enterprise independent supervision, third-party supervision, government supervision and social supervision.
At the same time, they strive to achieve effective water protection, wastewater reuse, sewage discharge up to standard, and put into operation the first shale gas produced water treatment project in China, with a wastewater disposal qualification rate of 100%.

In addition, they insist on harmless treatment and resource utilization of oil-based drill cuttings, and the oil content of treated drill cuttings is below
3 parts per thousand.

In the past ten years, Fuling Shale Gas Field has been rated as a green factory in the petroleum and chemical industry, one of the top ten environmental protection facilities in China, and an environmental protection integrity enterprise in Chongqing, and has been evaluated by the Ministry of Natural Resources as a "green model"
for shale gas development in China.

In ten years, it has driven the local economy to benefit Bashan and Yushui

While developing gas fields, Sinopec has always adhered to the concept of "developing resources on one side and benefiting the people", actively participating in poverty alleviation, volunteer services, environmental protection and public welfare activities, and going all out to help alleviate poverty and promote rural revitalization
.

Over the past decade, Fuling Shale Gas Field has paid a total of 8.
294 billion yuan in taxes and fees, invested a total of 439 million yuan to support local infrastructure construction, built roads and bridges, dug water cellars, established a "one-to-one" help mechanism, and carried out public welfare activities such as volunteer services, benefiting more than 20,000 people
.

In line with the principle of "local utilization, benefit the people", Fuling Shale Gas Field actively promotes the on-site digestion and utilization of shale gas, gives priority to supplying industrial and civil gas markets in Chongqing, and supports local economic and social development
.
The gas field provides nearly 557 million cubic meters of raw gas for fertilizer production to local companies every year, helping spring plowing production
in Chongqing, Hubei, Hunan, Guangxi and other regions.
At the same time, the gas field insists on giving priority to local products, and has successively introduced more than 20 suppliers in Chongqing such as general steel, cement, equipment and chemical raw materials to participate in the production and construction of the gas field, driving nearly 5,000 jobs and significantly improving the economic situation
of gas-related townships.

In addition, through the Sichuan-to-East Gas Pipeline, the Fuling shale gas field has continuously delivered green and clean energy to more than 70 cities and more than 200 million residents in six provinces along the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River Economic Belt, contributing to the high-quality development of
the Yangtze River Economic Belt.
