Zhejiang Petroleum's 20 million ton crude oil pipeline was put into operation

On December 28, 2022, the Huangzeshan to Yushan crude oil pipeline of Zhejiang Petroleum Co.
, Ltd.
was successfully put into operation, and the first batch of 60,000 tons of light crude oil was safely transported from Huangzeshan to the Zhoushan Green Petrochemical Base
.
This is the first 20 million ton crude oil pipeline put into use in Zhejiang Province during the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, realizing the "interconnection"
between the oil storage and transportation base and the world-class refining and chemical base.

The crude oil pipeline has a total length of 46.
5 kilometers, including 45.
7 kilometers of submarine pipeline, with a total investment of about 1.
6 billion yuan, which is an important supporting project of Zhoushan green petrochemical base and an important guarantee
for Zhejiang Petrochemical's 40 million tons/year refining and chemical integration project.

In July 2022, the project adopted sea-to-sea directional drilling traversal technology for the first time in China, setting a new record
for the world's longest pipeline, largest pipe diameter and deepest water level.
"These crude oils will be processed through the refining production equipment of the Zhoushan Green Petrochemical Processing Base and sold into various crude oil derivatives to the whole country and even the world
.
" The person in charge of the crude oil pipeline project said
.

In the past, the transportation of crude oil from Huangzeshan to Yushan mainly relied on two-way ship transshipment
.
Oil tanker transportation requires crude oil to be loaded onto the tanker and unloaded at the destination, which takes at least 3 days, and is also susceptible to weather and other factors
.
Through this newly built submarine crude oil pipeline, the transportation cost is greatly reduced, 6 staff can make crude oil transportation around the clock, the transportation time can be shortened by nearly half, less susceptible to climate impact, safer and more environmentally friendly
