Sinopec first sells pipeline natural gas resources in Northwest China

It is reported that on May 31, the gas gathering terminal of Sinopec Natural Gas Branch-Lunnan Natural Gas Pipeline Project was officially put into operation, with a gas transmission volume of 1.
5 million cubic meters on the first day.
In the inland area, the problem of Sinopec Northwest Oilfield Branch's long-term resource export problem has been completely solved.
It is of great significance to improve the layout of the natural gas pipeline network in the northwest region, and to enhance the flexible allocation of resources and the ability to ensure market supply
.

The pipeline is located in Lunnan Town, Luntai County, Xinjiang, in the hinterland of the Taklimakan Desert, with a total length of 22.
5 kilometers, a pipe diameter of 800 mm, a design pressure of 10 MPa, and a designed annual gas transmission capacity of 5.
5 billion cubic meters.
There are 1 pressure station and 1 Lunnan gas terminal station each
.

The Natural Gas Branch conscientiously implements the decision-making and deployment of the group company's party group to "operate well in every gas", and in strict accordance with the spirit of the reform of the natural gas sales system, actively analyzes and researches the current situation of natural gas commodity volume, local sales volume, and storage and transportation facilities in Northwest China.
The Northwest Natural Gas Sales Center of the unit worked hard to overcome the influence of factors such as sand and dust in spring, severe cold in winter and repeated epidemics, and made every effort to promote the construction of the project.
It took only 6 months to complete and put into operation the gas gathering terminal-Lunnan natural gas pipeline, which opened up resources for exporting resources.
The "lifeline" was completed 46 days ahead of the original schedule
.

After the gas transmission pipeline is completed and put into operation, the average daily gas transmission volume will gradually increase to 3 million cubic meters, which can not only transport high-quality natural gas resources to the central and eastern regions with strong market demand and good operating benefits in China, but also further enhance the value of natural gas resources.
Moreover, it can fully release the production capacity of upstream gas fields, optimize the allocation of internal resources, and provide a solid resource guarantee for strengthening, optimizing and expanding Sinopec's natural gas business and ensuring national energy security
.

In the next step, the Natural Gas Branch will further deepen the communication and cooperation with Sinopec Northwest Oilfield Branch and the Western Pipeline Company of the National Pipeline Network to ensure full production and excellent sales of natural gas resources in the northwest region, and lay a solid foundation for Sinopec's high-quality leap-forward development of natural gas
