CNOOC’s daily natural gas supply reaches a record high!

Overall coordination, resource preparation and orderly implementation

Before the warm season comes, CNOOC will go all out to stabilize the long-term We will coordinate resource supply and actively raise LNG spot resources to lay a good foundation for ensuring natural gas supply during the heating season. The planned supply of natural gas during the heating season this winter and next spring is 25.5 billion cubic meters, an increase of approximately 6% compared to last year’s planned supply. At the same time, we actively coordinate the joint dispatch of sea gas, coalbed methane, and LNG resources to further enhance resource supply capabilities. On November 30, the two natural gas sources of the "Wen 23 Gas Storage" were supplied from the No. 15 valve chamber of the Shen'an Pipeline and the Guantao Distribution Station in Cang, E'an to the Hebei Province natural gas pipeline network, realizing unconventional gas and LNG for the first time. Resource peak shaving and mutual protection.

Multiple measures are taken simultaneously to continuously optimize the supply system

Behind the historic breakthrough in gas supply data is CNOOC The result of continuous improvement of the supply guarantee system. In order to better fulfill its mission of ensuring supply in winter and protect the warmth of thousands of households, CNOOC has completed the annual planned maintenance of oil and gas fields before the supply guarantee season to ensure the natural gas production capacity replacement and peak-shaving capabilities during the winter supply guarantee period; further unblocking Optimize the external transmission capacity of the LNG receiving station and tap into the temporary supply potential of the upstream gas fields, achieving a peak supply capacity of 241 million cubic meters per day; at the same time, leasing the National Pipeline Company Wen 23 gas storage capacity of 300 million cubic meters, completed 300 million cubic meters by the end of October We have carried out the task of gas injection and implemented “storage as much as possible”, adding “multiple insurances” to the safe and stable supply of natural gas this winter and next spring.

Not afraid of challenges, making steady efforts at critical moments

Since entering the supply guarantee season, low temperature and cold waves have struck many times. Domestic gas demand has repeatedly reached new highs. CNOOC is working hard to cope with the cold wave weather, activating the emergency supply guarantee working mechanism, dispatching daily supply guarantee work, and stabilizing domestic gas production, rationally arranging sales rhythm, and strengthening LNG tank storage management. and other methods to continue to ensure the stable supply of gas for downstream users, especially those related to people's livelihood.

From December 18th to 19th, the cold wave moved southward, affecting most areas such as East China and South China.Gas consumption has increased dramatically, and the national natural gas supply has exceeded 1.5 billion cubic meters per day, exceeding the historical extreme. CNOOC played a key role at the critical moment and went all out to ensure the supply of natural gas to key provinces such as Guangdong and Zhejiang. On the 22nd, its single-day natural gas sales reached 278 million cubic meters, a record high.

In the Guangdong region, CNOOC organized its affiliated companies in advance to make arrangements in advance and accurately identify the risks of cold current supply guarantee, and coordinated with the Guangdong Provincial Energy Bureau and Guangdong Power Grid to increase the operation of coal-fired power plants and western power plants. To maintain warmth and supply during the cold wave, it saved about 100 million cubic meters of gas; at the same time, it fully coordinated the two imported LNG cargoes, and successfully completed the loading and unloading at Zhuhai LNG and Dapeng LNG one day before the arrival of the cold air, "filling up" in advance about 230 million cubic meters of high-quality natural gas resources provide "confidence" for the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area.

Affected by the cold wave in Zhejiang, the electric power load reached 95.9 million kilowatts, setting a record high for the entire social load in Zhejiang Province. At the request of Zhejiang Zheneng Natural Gas Trading Co., Ltd., CNOOC needs to temporarily increase supply to ensure gas supply due to a sharp increase in downstream gas demand that far exceeds expectations. CNOOC responded quickly, urgently coordinating incremental resources to support supply, and fully met the peak demand for gas for power generation, supplying 38.35 million cubic meters of natural gas per day to Zhejiang Province.

In the future, CNOOC will effectively do a good job in ensuring supply in winter, strengthen responsibility, strengthen coordination of all parties, protect people’s warm winter, and go all out to win the winter supply battle. .
