Petroleum and petrochemical equipment enterprises will increase investment in intelligence

On March 1, China Industry News learned from the Sinopec Information Office that a few days ago, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the National Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Finance, and the State Administration for Market Regulation issued an announcement to announce the list of the 2021 smart manufacturing demonstration factories.

In recent years, investment in informatization construction of petroleum and petrochemical equipment manufacturing enterprises has increased, some enterprises have successively built intelligent equipment manufacturing systems, and the Internet of Things in equipment manufacturing is also gradually advancing, but the overall informationization foundation of most equipment manufacturing enterprises is relatively weak

The intelligentization of petrochemical equipment has paid off

It is understood that Zhenhai Refinery, a subsidiary of Sinopec, has listed the "reform strategy of deepening digital transformation" as one of the three strategies to comprehensively promote the digitalization of enterprises, and fully build the largest 5G private network for petrochemical enterprises in China.

In 2021, there will be 26,947 enterprises above designated size in the petrochemical industry, with a cumulative operating income of 14.

Wu Fu, vice president of China Petrochemical Federation, said that the "14th Five-Year Plan" is the key five years for the deepening of the application of intelligent manufacturing in the whole industry

Intelligent manufacturing is relatively backward

At present, China's major technical equipment of petroleum and petrochemical has made remarkable achievements, and major equipment of Sinopec has basically achieved localization, but there are still weak links

Liu Baozeng, Secretary of the Party Committee of Sinopec Petroleum Engineering Technology Research Institute, also said that at present, there are still weak links in the key technologies of petroleum and petrochemical software development.

　　"The foreign software industry has established a complete ecosystem, and domestic application software can only be developed on the basis of foreign software ecosystems, and they are fighting each other, failing to concentrate resources and forces; basic research requirements are high, and the input and output in a short period of time are out of proportion.
, the effect is slow; although some products are important, they are highly specialized, the market size is small, and the relevant domestic industries lack enthusiasm for research and development
.
" Liu Baozeng said
.

　　In terms of high-end equipment such as automated drilling rig equipment, deep-sea oil and gas development technology and equipment, and ultra-high temperature downhole tools, there are still technical bottlenecks of "stuck neck", which affect the efficient exploration and development of oil and gas in China
.
There are still some high-end equipment in the marine equipment that have not been fully developed, or there is still a gap in the technical level
.
The self-sufficiency rate of core components in some high-end equipment fields is not high, and some core components still rely on foreign imports
.
The quality and reliability of domestic core basic components and key basic materials are difficult to meet the demand
.
The main performance of some products has reached or approached the international advanced level, but there are still some deficiencies in stability, reliability and adaptability.
The technical indicators are generally lower than the international advanced level, and the gap between the quality and technical level of other conventional products is even more obvious.

.
Accelerating the deep integration of intelligent manufacturing with informatization and intelligence is an important direction for future development, but the petroleum and petrochemical equipment manufacturing industry has just started
.

　　Build an intelligent system step by step

　　In this regard, Liu Baozeng suggested that the first is to coordinate the development of application software
.
It is recommended to set up a full-time agency at the national level, coordinate resources, concentrate efforts, build a domestic software ecosystem, and form a complete infrastructure
.
Overall consideration is given to compatibility issues with foreign software currently used, and lays the foundation for system integration and data migration
.

　　The second is to coordinate and implement the development of key materials for core components
.
It is recommended that the state organize a cross-industry, cross-enterprise, and cross-professional research team to coordinate the research on major technical equipment, expand the industrial chain and supply chain, strengthen the research on some core components and key materials, and solve the problem of "lack of cores" in domestic equipment
.

　　The third is to suggest that industry associations actively participate and play a role
.
It is suggested that the relevant national industry associations should benchmark against the international advanced level, organize energy companies and related manufacturing industries to implement equipment upgrading work, coordinately promote product research and development and standard formulation, and promote the sustainable and healthy development of the equipment manufacturing industry
.

　　Fourth, strengthen industrial policy support
.
It is recommended to introduce supporting policies to encourage enterprises, scientific research units, and colleges and universities to develop high-end application software based on domestic software architecture, and provide active policy support such as financial subsidies for the R&D, production, and application promotion of "small equipment", so as to stimulate the vitality of all factors, and promote the development of petrochemical power, Building an industrial powerhouse
.

　　The Petrochemical Federation will work with relevant institutions to jointly promote the organization and implementation of the industry's "14th Five-Year" intelligent manufacturing special plan, and establish a collaborative promotion system for industry intelligent manufacturing around development goals and main tasks; strengthen basic research on industry intelligent manufacturing; increase industry model Demonstration and promotion efforts; do a good job in talent system construction and other aspects to promote the development of intelligent manufacturing in the industry
.

　　Recently, the National Development and Reform Commission and other departments jointly issued the "Implementation Guidelines for Energy Conservation and Carbon Reduction Transformation and Upgrading in Key Areas", which proposed that China's petrochemical industry is large in scale, has a long industrial chain, and ranks among the top in energy consumption and carbon emissions.
Refining, ethylene, p-xylene and other sub-sectors put forward energy-saving and carbon-reducing transformation and upgrading plans
.
In December last year, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology issued the "14th Five-Year Plan for Industrial Green Development", which also mentioned the implementation plan of carbon peaking in key industries such as petrochemical and chemical industry, and planned the roadmap and timetable for carbon peaking.
The intelligent manufacturing support system has been basically established, key enterprises have initially achieved intelligent transformation, and the intelligent transformation of small and medium-sized enterprises with conditions and foundations has made obvious progress
