At 12:00 on the 1st of the month, after 96 hours of continuous operation, a 23-megawatt, single-cylinder, two-stage natural gas centrifugal compressor unit at the Xiangguosi Gas Storage Facility operated by the Southwest Oil and Gas Field Company was successfully put into service, with all parameters meeting the design requirements. This marks the official inclusion of the natural gas centrifugal compressor unit with the highest single-unit capacity in the southwest region in the ranks of those used to regulate peak demand and ensure a stable supply of natural gas. The 23-megawatt centrifugal compressor unit put into operation this time is the key equipment for the expansion project of the Xiangguosi gas storage facility; its power rating ranks first among similar devices in the southwestern region, making it a true \"giant\" in that area. The unit incorporates a range of cutting-edge technologies such as advanced variable-frequency drive, high-efficiency compression, and intelligent control, offering features like high efficiency, large capacity, flexible adjustment, and stable operation. SW Oil & Gas Field Company adheres strictly to safety, quality, and environmental protection standards throughout the entire process, from design and selection, equipment manufacturing, on-site installation to commissioning and operation, carrying out these tasks in a scientific and efficient manner. During the 96-hour full-load trial operation, all operational parameters of the unit met or exceeded the design specifications; the system operated smoothly, safely, and reliably, indicating that the unit is now ready for official commissioning and operation. As an **important infrastructure for regulating natural gas supply and ensuring its availability, the Xiangguosi gas storage facility plays a key role in safeguarding the natural gas supply in the Sichuan-Chongqing region as well as across the whole country.** The addition of the 23-megawatt unit has significantly enhanced the daily peak-shaving capacity of the Xiangguosi gas storage facility, providing stronger hardware support for ensuring regional energy security and contributing to the achievement of the **\"dual carbon\" goals. Moving forward, Southwest Oil and Gas Field Company will carefully manage the operation of the Xiangguosi gas storage facility, ensuring the safe, stable, and efficient operation of its equipment. This will help enhance the resilience and flexibility of the natural gas supply network in Sichuan and Chongqing, as well as across the country, providing stronger support for the upcoming peak period of gas injection during the summer.
