PetroChina officially splits gas sales and pipeline business

Apr 16,2021

On November 25, PetroChina held a video conference on the mobilization of natural gas sales management system reform in Beijing to mobilize and deploy the reform of natural gas sales management system. According to the decision-making and deployment of the party group of the group company, this reform implements a two-level management structure of "natural gas sales branch-regional natural gas sales branch" for the natural gas sales business. Among them, the natural gas sales branch is responsible for the management and operation of the company's natural gas business, which is managed as a directly affiliated enterprise; five regional natural gas sales branches in the north, east, west, southwest, and south are established as its affiliated institutions, and the regional natural gas branch is set up as its dispatched agency. The provincial representative office is set up under the branch. In this regard, Xu Wenrong, member of the party group and deputy general manager of CNPC, pointed out that promoting the reform of the natural gas sales management system is a major measure to implement the central decision and deployment, an urgent need to adapt to the change of the domestic natural gas market competition pattern, and an inevitable requirement to realize the strategic goal of natural gas development of CNPC.

Trump administration considers paying producers to stop drilling for oil

Trump administration considers paying producers to stop drilling for oil

Apr 16,2021

On April 16, it was reported that the Trump administration is considering paying US oil producers to keep crude oil in the ground to help ease the oversupply situation that has led to the collapse of oil prices and the bankruptcy of some oil companies. Senior administration officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said the U.S. Department of Energy has drafted a plan to compensate oil companies for giving up to 0.365 billion barrels of oil reserves and count them as part of the U.S. government's emergency inventory. West Texas Intermediate futures rose about 20 cents to $20.42 a barrel on the news. Federal law already authorizes the Energy Department to set aside up to 1 billion barrels of oil for emergencies, but it doesn't dictate where the oil should be. This opens the legal door to storing crude oil beyond the government's existing reserves, which can even be left untapped in the first place. The "stay in the ground" program, which requires billions of dollars from Congress, may be unprecedented and reflects the Trump administration's efforts to help domestic oil companies cope with surging production and collapsing demand caused by the coronavirus outbreak. Earlier, President Trump helped broker an agreement to cut global crude oil production and save the oil market from a collapse caused by the new crown epidemic. Oil demand, however, has fallen further as air and ground travel has been paralysed by blockades around the world. While the U.S. government does not control oil production, Trump said domestic production would automatically decrease due to market forces.

Application of emulsion polyacrylamide as profile control agent in oil field exploitation

Application of emulsion polyacrylamide as profile control agent in oil field exploitation

Apr 16,2021

In the process of oil field exploitation, a large number of polymer products are needed, among which PAM series polymer is the majority, and the application in the field of oil field accounts for more than 50% of the total domestic demand of polyacrylamide. Today we are going to introduce the application of emulsion polyacrylamide as a profile control agent in oil field exploitation. Through systematic research and popularization and application, we have deeply studied the blocking mechanism, correlation mechanism and blocking agent structure design of polyacrylamide emulsion. Through the use of advanced water-in-oil emulsion polymerization process, the problems of difficult control of crosslinking time and crosslinking strength and inconvenient on-site preparation of polyacrylamide gel during water shutoff were solved. The plugging adjustment technology is to disperse the plugging agent in water on the ground and inject it into the designated position of the formation. Under the action of the formation temperature, the polyacrylamide emulsion and the crosslinking agent react to form a gel. The test application in some domestic oilfields has proved that the plugging agent has the advantages of convenient dispersion and dissolution, low cost, easy control of gel-forming time and strength, etc., can achieve the purpose of blocking the water channel in the deep part of the formation, realizing the purpose of liquid flow direction, water control and oil increase, can receive better economic results, and has a good prospect of popularization and application. In foreign countries, the use of water-in-oil emulsion polyacrylamide is very common, and it has the potential to replace dry powder products, which is mainly related to the maturity of the technology. In foreign industries, water-in-oil inverse emulsion polymerization is generally used to synthesize polyacrylamide internal compounds, but in China, the technology is still in the promotion stage. Many domestic polyacrylamide manufacturers have mastered the production technology, and related manufactured products have been introduced to the market and have achieved great repercussions. In addition to producing traditional PAM dry powder polymers, the company is also actively engaged in the research and development and production of water-in-oil emulsion polyacrylamide. We find that inverse emulsion polymerization has many advantages compared with solution polymerization. The most significant characteristics are high polymerization rate. The obtained latex can make the polymer quickly soluble in water by adjusting the PH value of the system or adding emulsifiers, which is more convenient than powder products, these characteristics will also accelerate the popularity of emulsion polymers in the end-use markets. Inverse emulsion polymerization provides a polymerization process for water-soluble monomers with high polymerization rates and high relative molecular weight polymerization products. Starting from the study of water-soluble polymers such as water-in-oil emulsion polyacrylamide and its derivatives, this technology will develop rapidly.

“昨天,连续10多分钟的强降雨过后,厂区9个外排口全部畅通,雨排、污排全部分离,检验了我们在‘防堵截排疏’方面的综合治理成效。”8月9日,大庆石化炼油厂调度会上,调度长宋树林总结了近期的防汛工作。   今年的雨特别“任性”,入夏以来,暴雨持续预警,降雨连续不断。大庆石化各级防汛指挥部、防汛应急突击队早早进入临战状态,各部门和单位加强值班值守,严格执行雨前、雨中、雨后防控措施,确保安全度汛。   未雨绸缪严阵以待   7月23日16时,大庆上空乌云开始积多,呈现“黑云压城城欲摧”的景象。此时,大庆石化各单位的防汛物资仓库内,编织袋、潜水泵、铁锹等应急物资按种类早已摆放整齐,随时待用。   为降低恶劣天气给生产带来的影响,在雷雨来临前,各单位根据历年防汛经验和实际情况,对可能发生水害的电力系统、污水场站等重点区域做好应急物资储备,保证潜水泵、发电机等防汛设施完好,沙袋、应急灯等物品供应充足。   为提高防汛临险指挥决策能力,炼油厂调度室根据地势标高和排放流向,绘制了厂区雨水排放流向图及排水沟分布管理图,并在全厂25个车间辖区设置了“天眼”远程视频监控,24小时动态盯控外排口、隔油池排水状态。此外,针对夏季生产特点,化工三厂供电车间员工对全厂各线路区间架空电缆进行摸底检查,完成电缆标识补齐、移位槽板加固等工作,防止槽板盖被大风刮起等问题发生,消除了安全生产隐患。   迅即响应雨中抢险   短时暴雨天气,是检验大庆石化防汛工作的“考题”之一。装置区高耸的塔林如何承受风雨侵袭,在建项目的质量、安全、进度等如何保证,可不是一句“下雨了,收衣服喽”那么简单。   7月10日,暴雨突如其来,仅1个小时降水量就达到100毫米以上。受地势低洼影响,炼油厂东道口铁路线与电动道岔被淹,电动转辙机电机损坏,如不及时修复,将严重影响产品出厂。险情就是命令,炼油厂防汛应急人员迅速更换被淹电机,清理转辙机内部积水,及时扫除了铁路线上的漂浮物,并对减速机、开闭器、触点等设备及零部件进行保养。惊雷远去,暴雨渐歇,东道口铁路线开通了,厂区内行车安全得到了有力保障。   为了打赢汛期“百日会战”攻坚战,大项目指挥部根据“晴外、雨内”原则,对现场施工统筹规划,合理安排工序,对不适宜雨天施工的提前安排或暂不安排,督促各施工单位提前搭设防雨棚,加强现场电气设备及物资材料的保护。   摸排隐患安稳度汛   强降雨天气过后,大量淤泥及落叶沉积在明渠、排水沟,出现不同程度的堵塞。大庆石化迅速组织辖区人员清理沟渠内杂物,保证积水及堵塞物第一时间排出。   越是降雨间歇期,安全工作越不能麻痹大意。根据生产装置所处位置、险情发生后可能引起的后果,大庆石化相关部门和单位对各自属地展开了全面检查,仔细查看各处排水设施及露天设备、电缆沟等处的避雷接地,发现问题和隐患立即整改。   为强化预警机制,化工一厂在装置风险部位设立了警示标识,将防汛重要部位划转到岗位进行巡检监护;水气厂加大排查力度,对68个排污井、11处雨排口检查中发现的积水及时疏通;消防支队优化调整战斗编程,强化指战员业务培训,提高抢险救援能力,保证新的雨水来袭时,人员拉得出、设备管得了用。
