Daqing Oilfield, an iconic oil production base in northeast China's Heilongjiang Province, will see new gas wells put into operation to meet the needs of millions of households during this year's heating season. Pre-operation work is being wrapped up on the Xushen Gas Well in Zhaodong City, which is expected to add over 600,000 cubic meters of natural gas per day.
Xushen Gas Well is a part of the Daqing Oilfield, a traditional production base that has been producing oil since late 1950s. Upon operation, the new project will be able to meet the needs of two million households.
"This project mainly includes a new gas station and six gas wells. Now we are wrapping up the project, connecting the six gas wells with pipelines. We are striving to put the six gas wells into operation ahead of the heating season," said He Yongliang, deputy director of the construction management office of Daqing Oilfield Gas Production Branch Company.
The heating season also prompted efforts to secure safe and sufficient gas supply in Lamadian Gas Storage of Daqing Oilfield.
Workers there are now strengthening inspection on the facilities after the storage recently stocked over 100 million cubic meters of natural gas.
"We inspect the gas storage every two hours. For key equipment like the buffer tanks and the gas distributors, we have increased our inspection frequency," said Luo Kai, supervisor of the gas injection station of Daqing Oilfield Sixth Oil Production Plant.
