According to news from China National Petroleum Corporation, at 17:32 on June 29, with the order of Zhang Gaoli, member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and Vice Premier of the State Council, the Heihe construction site was splashed and machines roared, and the China-Russia East Route Natural Gas Pipeline The domestic section officially started.
Relevant experts from the Xinhua News Agency Economic Reference Energy Research Institute believe that the start of the Chinese section of the Sino-Russian East Route natural gas pipeline is of great significance. It is not only another milestone in Sino-Russian energy cooperation; it also marks the full completion of the strategic puzzle of China's four major energy channels.-All four energy import channels will be "both oil and gas".
Century Big Order: Milestone in Sino-Russian Energy Cooperation "The Chinese section of the Sino-Russian East Route Natural Gas Pipeline started, and the high-profile global natural gas" Century Big Order "was successfully completed. This not only means that Sino-Russian energy cooperation has entered a new stage, but also It is another milestone in Sino-Russian economic cooperation." Xinhua News Agency Economic Reference Energy Research Institute experts said.
It is understood that China and Russia signed the "Sino-Russian Eastern Route Natural Gas Purchase and Sale Contract" during the Shanghai Yashin Summit in May 2014, with a contract period of 30 years. The two sides agreed that in 2018, Russia will begin to supply gas to China through the east line between China and Russia, and the gas supply will increase year by year, eventually reaching 38 billion cubic meters per year. The contract is called the "big order of the century" in the global natural gas market because of its large amount, long cooperation period and its far-reaching impact on the international energy pattern ".
The grand opening ceremony of the project and the information released by the high-level of the two countries confirmed this point. On September 1, 2014, the construction of the "Siberian Power" pipeline in Russia started. At that time, Russian President Putin and Zhang Gaoli attended the commencement ceremony. On June 29 this year, the groundbreaking ceremony of the Chinese section of the pipeline was held by video in Beijing, Moscow and the Heihe construction site. Zhang Gaoli attended the groundbreaking ceremony in the Great Hall of the People and issued a groundbreaking order. The Prime Minister of the Russian Federation Dmitry Medvedev delivered a speech at the Moscow branch
Zhang Gaoli pointed out that the eastern route natural gas project is the largest practical cooperation project between China and Russia, and it is also a major strategic project for global natural gas cooperation. The implementation of this project is conducive to transforming Russia's resource advantages into economic advantages, further improving China's energy structure, promoting the economic and social development of the regions along the routes of China and Russia, promoting the diversification of the energy strategies of the two countries and ensuring the energy security of the two countries, and will have a positive impact on the pattern of global energy cooperation.
Medvedev said that the China-Russia East Route Natural Gas Project is one of the largest energy cooperation projects in the world. It is a concentrated expression and outstanding achievement of the Russia-China-China high-level strategic cooperative partnership. It is conducive to driving the economic and social development of the areas along the pipelines of the two sides and improving People's living standards.
The leaders of the two countries also stated that China-Russia cooperation is "long-term, comprehensive, and strategic" cooperation and "win-win" cooperation. Zhang Gaoli stressed that the two sides should take a long-term view, base themselves on the current situation, fully tap their potential, give full play to their complementary advantages, actively promote cooperation in large-scale energy projects such as long-term crude oil trade, east-west natural gas, upstream oil and gas development, and coal and power transmission integration, and comprehensively expand cooperation in the field of non-energy resources, as well as mutually beneficial cooperation in investment, production capacity, finance, agriculture, agriculture and far east development, promote China-Russia practical cooperation to achieve more results and better benefit the two peoples. Medvedev said that Russia is willing to further expand all-round practical cooperation with China in energy and other fields, so as to promote the common development and prosperity of the two countries.
Oil and Gas: Four Energy Channels Complete the Jigsaw
The construction of the Chinese section of the Sino-Russian East Route natural gas pipeline is not only a milestone in Sino-Russian energy cooperation, but also marks the full completion of the "strategic puzzle of China's four major energy import channels.
It is understood that according to PetroChina's strategic concept, China's four major oil and gas energy import channels planned to ensure China's energy security include one sea channel and three land channels-Northeast (China-Russia) channel, Northwest (China-Central Asia) channel, and Southwest (China-Myanmar) channel. At present, in the four major energy channels, in addition to the northeast, the remaining three channels are both oil and gas. For example, the sea passage includes the crude oil and liquefied natural gas (LNG) shipping passage to China via the Strait of Malacca and the South China Sea, the northwest passage includes the China-Central Asia natural gas pipeline and the China-Kazakhstan crude oil pipeline, and the southwest includes the China-Myanmar crude oil and natural gas pipeline. Only in the Northeast (China-Russia) channel, there is only one crude oil pipeline that was put into operation in 2010.
"The construction of the Chinese section of the Sino-Russian East Route natural gas pipeline will end the long history of the Northeast (Sino-Russian) energy channel with oil pipes and no gas pipes." Relevant experts from the Xinhua News Agency Economic Reference Energy Research Institute said that the four major energy strategic channels, including the northeast, northwest, southwest and offshore, will be "both oil and gas" and become the veritable "four major oil and gas import channels".
According to the plan, the Sino-Russian East Route natural gas pipeline will supply gas to the Northeast, Bohai Rim and Yangtze River Delta.
Professor Pang Changwei, director of the International Petroleum Politics Research Center of China University of Petroleum (Beijing), believes that the pipeline project will help change my country's natural gas consumption pattern, especially for the transformation and upgrading of heavy industries in Northeast China. He said: "The old industrial areas of the three northeastern provinces will obtain natural gas chemical raw materials and build natural gas peak-regulating power stations. With the completion of the construction of supporting facilities for urban natural gas pipelines, it will also stimulate local economic growth, and residents will use clean and environmentally friendly natural gas in their daily lives. In the future, the sky and water in the Northeast will be bluer and clearer."
The Sino-Russian East Route natural gas pipeline will not only effectively alleviate the shortage of natural gas in Northeast China, but also optimize the energy structure of the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region, improve the current situation of air pollution in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region, and promote the adjustment of the energy structure in the Yangtze River Delta. Will have a positive and far-reaching impact.
According to estimates, the Sino-Russian East Route natural gas pipeline will introduce 38 billion cubic meters of clean natural gas every year, which can increase the proportion of natural gas in my country's energy consumption structure by more than one percentage point. Compared with coal, it can reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 0.164 billion tons, sulfur dioxide emissions by 1.82 million tons, nitrogen oxide emissions by 460000 tons, and dust emissions by 840000 tons per year.
Technical equipment: all independent research and development and is the first time
"As the implementer of the pipeline construction project, PetroChina is deeply responsible and has a glorious mission." Wang Yilin, chairman of China National Petroleum Corporation, said at the groundbreaking ceremony of the Chinese section of the Sino-Russian East Route Natural Gas Pipeline that he will firmly establish the concept of "a century-old plan and quality-oriented", give full play to the overall advantages of PetroChina, and learn from advanced technologies and successful experiences at home and abroad. A brand-new project management model and operating mechanism, scientifically organize project implementation, and strive to build domestic and international first-class high-class high-quality projects and green projects, it will make new contributions to deepening Sino-Russian energy cooperation and promoting the social and economic development of the areas along the pipeline.
According to the plan, the Chinese section of the Sino-Russian East Route natural gas pipeline starts from the Sino-Russian border in Heihe City, Heilongjiang Province, ends in Shanghai, and passes through 9 provinces, autonomous regions, and municipalities including Heilongjiang, Jilin, Inner Mongolia, Liaoning, Hebei, Tianjin, Shandong, Jiangsu, and Shanghai. It is planned to build 3170 kilometers of pipelines, use 1800 kilometers of existing pipelines in parallel, and build underground gas storage facilities. At the same time, the Sino-Russian East Route natural gas pipeline is the long-distance natural gas pipeline with the largest diameter and the highest pressure in my country, with a pipe diameter of 1422mm.
"In our country, it is the first time to design and apply pipelines with a diameter of more than 1400mm, and all supporting technologies and equipment are independently developed. The technical difficulty is unprecedented in the history of the Pipeline Bureau." Researchers involved in the research and development of the PetroChina Pipeline Bureau said in an interview with a reporter from Xinhua News Agency's Economic Information Daily that in the case of pipe transportation, a steel pipe with a diameter of 1219mm weighs about 6 tons, and the weight of a steel pipe with a diameter of 1422mm reaches 9 tons. Half. This weight will bring a series of challenges such as transportation and lifting. It is understood that in order to fight the tough battle, more than 300 people from 9 units of the Pipeline Bureau have participated in the research. At present, 13 technical standards have been formed, including 1422mm X80 pipe manufacturing, pipeline engineering design and construction, and technical conditions for valves and fittings, and 8 national patents have been declared. The steel pipe application technology and welding process of 1422mm X80 pipeline are nearly complete, and a number of construction technology and technology application topics such as cold bending pipe bending process and heat shrinkable belt mechanized joint joint joint technology have passed expert evaluation. Seven engineering operating machines and tools, including internal welding machines and external welding machines, as well as a large number of key equipment such as elbows, tee joints, quick-opening blind plates, and insulating joints, have basically been localized.
