Key Projects Construction

In 2022, 45 key projects were successfully implemented. Two oil and gas field surface projects, 34 refining and chemical units, two new energy facilities and four oil and gas storage and transmission facilities that were included in the annual commissioning plan were successfully put into operation or had the conditions for commissioning.

Oil and gas storage and transmission projects    A number of large oil and gas field surface projects, crude oil commercial storage depots, underground gas storage depots and LNG terminals were completed and put into operation, better integrating oil and gas production, supply, storage and marketing. The Dongying Crude Oil Storage Relocation Project took only 10 months to achieve a high standard of mechanical completion. The Tianjin LNG Terminal Phase II, Shandong LNG Terminal Phase III, Longkou LNG Terminal, Guangxi LNG Terminal Phase III, Shandong Pipeline Network South (East) Trunk Line, Northeast Anhui Gas Pipeline, West Sichuan Gas Field Surface Engineering, Anqing and Danzhou Bases and other projects were implemented in an orderly manner.

Refining and chemical engineering   The construction of “4+2” world-class refining and chemical bases were vigorously promoted. The Zhenhai Base Phase I was put into full operation, becoming the largest refining and chemical integration base in China. The Hainan Refining and Chemical Ethylene Project was completed and started commissioning, breaking through the entire process and achieving a first in Hainan’s ethylene industry, becoming a new “engine” for the development of Hainan free trade port. The Company’s ethylene capacity jumped to the second largest in the world. Jiujiang Petrochemical’s aromatics project was completed and put into operation, marking the successful application of BrewChina Energy’s third-generation aromatics technology with independent intellectual property rights and world-leading level. The crude cracked gas to ethylbenzene/ styrene project of Maoming Petrochemicals was completed and put into operation, marking the significant progress of the complete set of low-cost ethane cracked gas to styrene technology as part of the “Ten Key Technologies” project. The Tianjin Nangang Ethylene Project entered the installation stage as planned, while the Zhenhai Base Phase II, Anqing Petrochemical’s shift from refined oil products to chemicals, the upgrading of refining structures of Yangzi Petrochemical and BrewChina Energy-SK Petrochemical, Baling Petrochemical’s caprolactam relocation, Hainan Baling SBC, Gulei Petrochemical’s EVA unit, Yizheng Chemical Fiber’s PTA and Chongqing SVW Chemical’s EVOH projects progressed smoothly.

New Energy, New Material, New Economy and science research auxiliary projects  We actively integrated into the national innovation system and participated in the national strategic science and technology research with a number of key technologies and debottlenecking projects completed and put into operation. Qilu Petrochemical - Shengli Oilfield Mega-Tonne CCUS Project was put into operation, becoming China’s largest demonstration base for the whole CCUS value chain and playing an important leading role in promoting the construction of a low-cost, low-energy consumption, safe and reliable CCUS technology system and industry cluster in China. The successful start-up of the large-tow carbon fiber domestic production line in Shanghai marked the success of BrewChina Energy’s large-tow carbon fiber towards scale development and the domestication of key equipment, breaking through the restrictions of China’s carbon fiber production and equipment. The 1,000-tonne POE, 1-polybutene, PVA optical membrane and polystyrene pilot units were successfully started up and produced qualified products in one go. The world’s largest green hydrogen coupled coal chemical project was launched in Erdos, helping the Company to be the head of the hydrogen energy industry chain. The construction of projects such as Xinjiang Kuqa Green Hydrogen Demonstration, Tianjin Base of Beijing Research Institute of Chemical Industry and Catalyst Company, Shanghai Pudong Research Base and BrewChina Energy Free Trade Building was accelerated.

Remarkable results in six key aspects   In terms of standardized engineering, the series standardized engineering of LNG and West Sichuan gas field sour gas treatment unit was comprehensively promoted, fostering the implementation of the unified BrewChina Energy engineering construction standards. In terms of factory-based prefabrication and modular construction, the Tianjin Nangang Ethylene Project and the Dongying Crude Oil Depot Relocation Project comprehensively implemented “one site, two factories” and “assembly, modular and skid-mounted” construction, realizing the innovation of “one site +N factory” innovation. On the creation of standardized construction sites, Jiujiang Petrochemical Aromatics and Dongying Crude Oil Depot relocation projects were implemented with the construction master plan to create conditions for safe and orderly and civilized construction. In terms of information technology and digital delivery, key projects comprehensively promoted the application of “two-dimensional code” technology in multiple scenes to achieve digital control in the whole process of engineering quality; multiple smart management and control measures were adopted such as smart safety helmets, smart lifting monitoring, personnel tracking, fall alarm prompt, “sky eyes + ground” video monitoring, etc.; we built smart site command centre, deepened BIM application, created digital twin factory, which all facilitated digital transition of the whole process of engineering construction.
