Sinopec Southwest Petroleum Bureau reported on the 11th that the ground engineering of the West Sichuan Gas Field Capacity Construction Project of the Bureau officially started in Pengzhou, Chengdu. According to reports, after the project is completed and put into operation, it can meet the domestic gas demand of 9.6 million households.

It is reported that the West Sichuan Gas Field is located on the western edge of the Sichuan Basin, with a proven gas-bearing area of 139 square kilometers. It is the third large-scale marine gas field discovered by Sinopec in the Sichuan Basin after the Puguang gas field and the Yuanba gas field.

In September 2021, the feasibility study report of the first phase of the production capacity construction of the West Sichuan Gas Field was approved by Sinopec, which will build 4 desulfurization stations, 1 production management center, 1 emergency rescue station, 53 kilometers of gas pipelines and gas field supporting public works. The project is expected to be fully completed and put into operation in September 2023, with an annual output of 1.768 billion cubic meters of purified gas and an annual output of 135,400 tons of sulfur, which can meet the domestic gas needs of 9.6 million households and provide more energy for the southwestern region of my country and along the Sichuan-East Gas Transmission Line. More clean energy support.

It is understood that, as an important part of the national natural gas production base of 100 billion cubic meters and the construction of "Gas Daqing" in the southwest, the project is listed as a key supervision project for the construction of the national production, supply, storage and marketing system and a key project in Sichuan Province.

The relevant person in charge of Sinopec Southwest Petroleum Bureau said that the goal is to build a "safe, green, intelligent and efficient, innovative and harmonious" ultra-deep-sea large urban gas field model project, using advanced management models and mature integration technologies, using decentralized equipment. The layout of the station and the innovative model of drilling, production and transportation, and purification are on the same platform. The total sulfur recovery rate of natural gas exceeds 99.9%, the product gas reaches the national standard first-class gas standard, and the sulfur reaches the first-class product standard, realizing lean and green production and digitalization and intelligence. To ensure the safety and environmental protection of the whole process, and strive to create a national high-quality project. Editor/Sang Xiaomei
