Vol 5 Chapter 1017: A feast of technology

You can see that the beauty of playing tennis is really addictive, but Fan Dan’s disease is really angry. Soon after, I received a call from the Russian side to discuss with him the plan to import Russian gas and oil through pipelines into the mainland of China.

"Oh, I have to go back. This time things are a bit big." Fan Wuyao said to Wei Qi.

In fact, this time the matter was really big. In the history that Fan Wubing has experienced, China has three West-East natural gas pipelines.

The early West-East Gas Transmission Project was approved by the State Council at the first meeting in February this year. This is another major investment project second only to the Three Gorges Project of the Yangtze River, and it is also a landmark for opening the prelude to the development of the western region. construction project.

The planned West-East Gas Pipeline has a total length of approximately locked kilometers and an investment scale of more than 100 million yuan. It is currently the longest gas pipeline in China with the largest diameter. The diameter of the pipeline is millimeters, the design pressure is Yusipa, and the annual design transmission volume is 100 million cubic meters. The entire line adopts automatic control, and the gas supply scope covers the Central Plains, East China, and the Yangtze River Delta.

This west-to-east gas pipeline starts from the Tarim Lunnan oil and gas field in Xinjiang in the west and traverses nine provinces including Xinjiang, Gansu, Jiangsu, and Shanghai, and ends at Shanghai.

The Second West-East Gas Pipeline starts from Horgos in Xinjiang in the west, passes through Xi'an and Nanchang, goes to Guangzhou in the south, and ends in Shanghai in the east, passing thirteen provinces, autonomous regions, and municipalities directly under the Central Government. The total length of the trunk line is well concave kilometer, and with several branch lines, the total length of the pipeline exceeds the gap kilometers.

The third natural gas pipeline for the West-East Gas Pipeline. The route is basically determined to be from Xinjiang to Fujian through Jiangxi, and to transport natural gas from Russia and northwest China to the Yangtze River Delta and Pearl River Delta regions with huge energy demand.

However, due to the emergence of Fan Wuyao, the cooperation with Russia suddenly became closer, especially after Fan Wuyao obtained the right to develop oil and gas resources by providing Putin with a $50 billion interest-free loan. At that time, the third West-East Gas Transmission Line, which appeared later in history, will be upgraded.

Because this is a major event, Fan Wubing must first greet the State Council and coordinate some of the work links. Only then can construction be started.

Fan Wubing checked the time. Now it’s just like he just went to work in the afternoon. It will take a long time for his dad to go home. It’s better to find it directly. Besides, the investment in this matter won’t be enough. He always has to talk to the senior We should sit together and talk carefully.

So he went straight to the door and went directly to the State Council. After contacting his father through the General Office, he went directly to his office and waited.

Fan Heng and the others were in a meeting. They were probably focusing on learning something. After waiting for more than half an hour, they saw Boss Zhu and his father Fan Heng coming together, as well as several deputy prime ministers, talking and laughing. After seeing Fan Wuyi, they all smiled and greeted him.

"Since all the leaders are there, can you sit together for a few minutes? I have something important here to declare." Fan Wuyi saw that the State Council team is basically there, and he simply proposed.

"What is it, so anxious?" Boss Zhu was very interested.

"The cooperation between me and Russia has been finalized, and now I am going to transport Russian natural gas directly to the inland through pipelines," Fan Wuyao said to everyone very directly.

"Ah?!" Everyone was stunned after listening. No one thought that the domestic West-East Gas Pipeline was just the beginning. Fan Wuyao took the lead in realizing cooperation with Russia, intending to supply Russian natural gas. Introduced through the pipeline.

"In fact, I originally planned to introduce oil into pipelines at the same time, but later considered that this problem would be larger, so I introduced natural gas first. As for oil. I plan to build several refineries on site, and then The finished product is shipped back, or the crude oil is directly transported back to the northwest through the railway channel, and several oil refineries are built to digest." Fan Wuyao simply said his thoughts directly, and then let everyone slowly digest it.

Everyone really froze for a while before returning to their senses. The West-East Gas Pipeline is of great significance for adjusting domestic energy structure and promoting the improvement of environmental conditions.

12 billion cubic meters of natural gas is equivalent to 9 million tons of standard coal, which can reduce atmospheric pollution emissions by 135,000 tons of sulfur dioxide, 153,000 tons of nitrogen oxides, and 270,000 tons of dust every year. Ton. Therefore, the East welcomes the West-East Gas Pipeline Project very much. The development of the eastern region really needs the West-East Gas Pipeline Project.

At the same time, the West-East Gas Pipeline Project is also conducive to expanding domestic demand, increasing employment, promoting the development of metallurgy, machinery, electric power, chemicals, building materials and other related industries, and promoting the construction of natural gas-related industries and systems engineering.

Natural gas is a green energy source, it is clean, the emission of sulfur dioxide and dust is close to zero, and the emission of carbon dioxide is also very low. There is almost no pollution. The development and utilization of natural gas is also an important direction of the world's energy development. Today, the proportion of natural gas in energy utilization has risen to more than 25%.

"What do you think of Vice Premier Zeng?" Boss Zhu first asked Deputy Premier Zeng who was in charge of the West-East Gas Pipeline.

"This is a good thing!" Although Vice Premier Zeng hadn't seen Fan Wuyi's detailed plan, he blurted out a positive attitude.

In the early stage of the West-East Gas Pipeline Project, the annual gas supply can reach about 12 billion cubic meters. In the future, with the deepening of resource exploration and the development of the downstream gas market, the gas supply will be gradually increased.

The most important thing is that this project will greatly accelerate the economic development of Xinjiang and the regions along the central and western regions, correspondingly increase fiscal revenue and employment opportunities, bring huge economic and social benefits, and will also promote the adjustment of energy structure and industrial structure. Promote the development of unemployed industries such as steel, building materials, petrochemicals, and electric power. Cities along the route can use clean fuels to replace some of the fuel and coal used in power plants, kilns and chemical companies, and residents' lives, which can improve the atmospheric environment and improve the quality of life of the people.

However, the biggest problem of the West-East Gas Pipeline Project is the relatively large investment, including the exploration and development of oil and gas resources, gas pipelines, urban pipeline networks, industrial utilization and other related projects. It is initially predicted that the investment in the first phase will reach about 120 billion .

According to preliminary estimates, the project will use tons of steel and consume tons of welding rod cores. The amount of excavation and filling of earth and stone exceeds 10,000 cubic meters of each other, and a large amount of water, wood, gas mercury, and equipment are required at the same time

Since more than two-thirds of the pipelines of the West-East Gas Pipeline Project are built in the western region, the investment in fixed assets in Xinjiang’s gas fields is more than 20 billion. After such capital investment, it can drive local economic development, increase fiscal revenue, and provide a large amount of The employment opportunities will also promote the economic ties between the west and the east.

Now that Fan Wuyao actually wants to import natural gas directly from Russia, this investment should be only a lot more. After all, pipeline network investment is a big one, and it will always take more than 200 billion yuan to do this.

Vice Premier Zeng deserves to be engaged in technology. After a brief stupefaction, he immediately asked a lot of questions. "The most important thing in the West-East Gas Pipeline Project is the pipeline. Compared with the existing domestic pipelines, this kind of pipeline It has six major characteristics. One is the highest design pressure, the second is the largest transmission volume, and the third is the longest distance. The fourth is the highest grade of steel used, the fifth is the largest investment, and the sixth is the provinces, cities, and autonomous regions that pass through the most. At the same time, the geological conditions along the pipeline are complex and diverse, passing through various landforms such as deserts, Gobi, salt-clear soil, loess gullies, mountains, hills, plains, and sequence networks. The transportation and construction conditions are difficult. The entire line crosses the Yangtze River, the Yellow River and other large-scale landforms. There are more than two hundred rivers, and more than 70 mountain passes need to be set up to cross the Tianshan Mountains and Jiangnan hills. Large rivers such as the Yangtze River, Ganjiang River, Qiantang River, Beijiang, Xijiang and other large rivers pass and Guoguogou Pass, Meiling Tunnel, The design and construction of the Deep Shuilian Road are difficult and risky."

The start of the West-East Gas Pipeline Project. A large number of steel pipe materials are required for support. The project requires that most construction steel use low-carbon or ultra-low-carbon microalloyed steel. The pipeline project requires a service environment with large pipe diameter, high-pressure rich gas transportation, high cold and corrosion technology. Therefore, pipeline steel should have high strength, low Bauschinger effect, high toughness and resistance to brittle fracture, low welding carbon content, good weldability, and fly corrosion resistance.

"At present, most of our domestically produced pipes still have a three-point pressure difference. This is a big problem." Vice Premier Zeng said to Fan Wuyao. "Once the two lines are started, the supply capacity will definitely not be able to keep up."

Fan Wubing nodded. "Vice Premier Zeng is right, but we must also see that in fact, this project is undoubtedly a technological feast for the steel industry, steel pipe manufacturing, and steel pipe equipment manufacturing industry. Steel pipe steel production companies, steel pipe production companies, and steel pipe production equipment manufacturers have upgraded their technological level, a new starting point from domestic to international. In addition, in addition to the steel used for the West-East Gas Pipeline, there are more than five supporting facilities along the line. The construction of all urban pipeline networks of 1,000 kilometers, the construction of oil and gas processing, and the construction of storage facilities. The demand for steel will further increase, and this Fengchang is very large. Therefore, some large-scale domestic steel enterprises should be technically transformed in a timely manner , Or to directly build a batch of large-scale new steel enterprises with a higher starting point?"

During the time they were talking, some staff members had already sent in more detailed statistics. In Fan Heng's office, everyone started discussions, and some experts who rushed over projected some data on the projection.

A senior expert from the State Council introduced to everyone, "According to calculations, China’s annual natural gas consumption will rise at a rate of 15%. In 30 years, China’s natural gas consumption will increase from the current 400 per year. From 5 billion cubic meters to 300 billion cubic meters, the consumption in 50 years will increase to 450 billion cubic meters. At the same time, China’s oil consumption will increase even more. In the next ten years, A total of 50,000 kilometers of oil and gas pipelines will be built, and an average of nearly 5,000 kilometers need to be laid each year. The steel needed to lay natural gas pipelines alone will reach 4 million tons each year."

"Such a large demand. If you add the pipeline laid back from Russia, it is estimated that the demand will double. After listening to this, boss Zhu hesitated and asked, "Can the supply be increased? "

The expert replied, "Although it is said that since the 1980s, China has introduced more than 30 production lines for resistance welded pipes from abroad. After years of practice, the level of equipment and technology has also been greatly improved, and the quality of products has also been continuously improved. Some products have evolved from fluid conveying pipes and structural pipes to oil well pipes and line pipes in the application of seamless pipes, but the gap is still relatively large from the current demand."

"What is Mr. Fan's thoughts on this?" Boss Zhu asked.

In fact, everyone now has a consensus, that is, for Russia’s oil and gas resources, as much as possible, and using as much natural gas as possible ~www.wuxiaspot.com~, we can save as much butterfly charcoal and oil resources as possible. Compared with the troublesome natural gas resources, coal and oil are easier to store as strategic reserves.

Therefore, Fang Fan Wuyao proposed that after discussing the introduction of natural gas through pipelines with Russia, everyone feels that it is very interesting, and it seems that the price here is lower and the quality is better.

Fan Wu was ill and replied. "At present, the steel companies under Fan's Investment Group are working hard to tackle technical problems. It is estimated that they will soon come up with products that meet the requirements. Once the technology upgrade is completed, we can unite the steel companies in Panshi, Jiangnan Province, and Lingxi Province. Get up and set up a large pipeline production group. The demand for this part is supplied with full horsepower. In addition, Jiangshan, the first phase of the sea channel has begun to be used. Overseas high-quality iron ore can be continuously transported in to meet this demand. Part of the demand, so I think the problem of pipeline demand is not big

.

In fact, Fan Wubing didn't worry much about technical issues. After all, someone would naturally worry about this matter, the issues he was concerned about now. That is, PetroChina has actually halted the West-East Gas Pipeline Project. Although it was said that the senior management was dissatisfied with them, they deliberately beat it, but this is a state-owned enterprise after all. And it is a central enterprise.

Suddenly, I’m coming in here, and I still have to introduce natural gas pipeline construction from Russia. Obviously, it will surprise the high-level people. The biggest obstacle now is to remove these institutional obstacles first. Only then can we safely and boldly carry out the West-East Gas Pipeline Project.

if not. Without the government's policy permission, can't do it if you want it?
