Seek help regarding «Layout of Natural Gas, Crude Oil, and Refined Oil Pipeline Networks and the 11th Five-Year Development Plan»

It probably hasn’t been announced yet. The State Council held a meeting to review the 11th Five-Year Plan for oil and gas pipelines 2008/01/28 On January 7, the State Council convened a meeting to discuss the \"Plan for the Layout of Natural Gas, Crude Oil, and Refined Oil Pipelines and the 11th Five-Year Development Strategy.\" Zeng Peiyan, Vice Premier of the State Council, presided over the meeting and delivered a speech. Zeng Peiyan emphasized that formulating and implementing oil and gas pipeline networks is an important way to optimize the allocation of oil and gas resources and develop the modern energy industry. It is necessary to fully implement the spirit of the 17th National Congress of the Party, thoroughly apply the scientific outlook on development, focus on both the present and the long term, take a comprehensive approach and make rational plans. The goals for building oil and gas pipelines should be further clarified in order to continuously improve the capacity and level of ensuring access to energy resources. Zeng Peiyan pointed out that since the reform and opening up, great progress has been made in the construction of oil and gas pipelines in China. Pipelines such as the West-East Gas Pipeline and the Shaanxi-Beijing Line 2 for natural gas, as well as the China-Kazakhstan crude oil pipeline and the Lanzhou-Chengdu-Chongqing pipeline for refined oil products, have been built, thus forming a backbone network for natural gas, crude oil, and refined oil products that covers most parts of the country. Further accelerating the planning and construction of oil and gas main pipelines and related facilities is of great significance for optimizing the structure of exploration, development, transportation, and storage of oil and gas resources in China, improving the methods of transporting and distributing these resources as well as their processing and utilization patterns, ensuring the rational allocation of oil and gas resources, and safeguarding energy security and economic stability. Zeng Peiyan called for proper planning and construction of oil and gas pipelines. First, formulate plans scientifically and reasonably. The construction layout should be optimized in line with the flow direction of energy, to promote overall balance; meanwhile, coordination between pipeline transportation and other modes of transport should be ensured to avoid duplicate construction. Second, strengthen the foundation of oil and gas resources. We must focus on the domestic market, further strengthen the exploration and development of oil and natural gas, and enhance our ability to ensure self-sufficiency in these resources ； Expand cooperation in the exploration and development of overseas oil and gas resources in accordance with the principles of equal treatment and mutual benefit. Third, it promotes the alignment between oil and gas supply and demand. While strengthening the construction of the backbone network, it is necessary to improve the development of supporting infrastructure and ensure seamless integration among various modes of transportation, giving priority to meeting the needs of residents’ daily lives and public service facilities. Fourth, improve the technical level of pipeline networks. By relying on the construction of pipeline networks and increasing research, development, and innovation in technical equipment, it drives the growth of related industries in China such as metallurgy, building materials, machinery, electronics, and chemicals. Fifth, it is necessary to ensure the proper protection and management of pipeline networks. Strengthen the development of the legal system to ensure the safe production and stable operation of pipeline networks in accordance with the law. Project construction should focus on efficient use of land to effectively protect the ecological environment. Deputy Director Zhang Xiaoqiang delivered a report on the preparation of the plan on behalf of our commission, and Commission Director Ma Kai attended the meeting. Responsible officials from relevant departments of the State Council and energy enterprises attended the meeting

The \"Plan for the Layout of Natural Gas, Crude Oil, and Refined Oil Pipeline Networks and the Development Strategy for the 11th Five-Year Plan\" was submitted to the State Council for review this Monday. Yesterday, PetroChina Group announced on its official website that a meeting regarding the transfer of management responsibilities for oil and gas transportation operations among the group’s pipeline bureaus and companies was held in Langfang recently, marking the official initiation of a major restructuring of PetroChina’s pipeline business. 　　At this management handover meeting, 10 oil and gas transportation companies affiliated with CNPC’s Pipeline Bureau, including those in Changji, Daqing, Changchun, etc., were placed under the management of CNPC Pipeline Company. At the same time, CNPC will take the Pipeline Bureau as the core to integrate the capabilities for long-distance pipeline construction, and strengthen its pipeline design and construction services. The goal is to turn the Pipeline Bureau into a professional construction enterprise with strong capabilities, international competitiveness, and EPC general contracting skills. 　　PetroChina Group stated that the company’s pipeline business will have a significant opportunity for growth in the coming years. By 2015, China will have 27,000 kilometers of pipelines in operation. This is not only an opportunity for the significant growth of the pipeline construction business, but it also lays a solid foundation for the substantial development of the pipeline transportation industry. 　　It is said that this restructuring represents a significant adjustment by the Party Leadership Group of CNPC to its pipeline operations and management structure. In line with the group’s overall strategy, building energy corridors and domestic pipeline networks will be of top priority. Reorganization measures are undoubtedly highly beneficial to the strategy of refining and strengthening the pipeline construction and operation expertise, in order to create a professional company with international competitiveness. 　　Liao Yongyuan, head of the Leading Group for the Restructuring and Integration of PetroChina’s pipeline business, said in his concluding speech at the handover ceremony that in the next step, further restructuring and integration of the pipeline business will be carried out to better meet the requirements of concentration and efficiency, and to maximize the overall and integrated advantages, thereby promoting the rapid and sound development of the entire pipeline business. 　　An insider at CNPC told a reporter from Shanghai Securities News that China’s oil and gas pipeline construction is currently moving toward the development of integrated pipeline networks. Reorganizing the pipeline business will align with this trend and help improve the operational efficiency of such networks. 　　It is worth noting that the State Council had just announced the previous day that it had reviewed on Monday this week the **proposal submitted by the National Development and Reform Commission regarding the layout of natural gas, crude oil, and refined oil pipelines, as well as the development plan for the 11th Five-Year Plan period**. It is understood that through more than 20 years of development, China has initially established a backbone network for natural gas, crude oil, and refined oil that covers most parts of the country. Further accelerating the planning and construction of oil and gas main pipelines and supporting facilities is of great significance for achieving a rational allocation of oil and gas resources and ensuring **energy security and economic stability.

This plan serves as a guiding document for the development of natural gas, crude oil, and refined oil products during the 11th Five-Year Plan period. It is essential for those working in the oil and gas industry to read it, in order to understand the overall strategy and to get an idea of the direction in which our industry should develop.

I really want to see it too, but I’m not trying to dampen enthusiasm – reports like this are unlikely to be made public; for example, there seems to be none for the “15th” case.

Has the original poster found it? I want to learn it too*
