[Haichuan Chemical Salary Updates] The oil pipeline project for the Dongjiakou Port–Weifang–Central and Northern Shandong oil transport pipeline project (Phase 3, South Route) has been approved

On the 8th, the commissioning ceremony for the third phase of the Dongjiakou Port–Weifang–Central and Northern Shandong oil pipeline project at Qingdao Port in Shandong Province was held in the Guangrao storage area. This marked the completion and operation of this project, allowing the main oil transport routes to extend further north. It also signified the full establishment of a \"golden corridor\" for the oil industry chain from the coast of the Yellow Sea to that of the Bohai Sea; instead of using trucks to transport oil across the Yellow River, pipelines are now used for this purpose, which can reduce the number of oil transport vehicles crossing the river by about 100,000 per year. It is reported that the Dongjiakou Port–Weifang–Central and Northern Shandong oil pipeline project began construction with its first phase in July 2016; the first phase along with its supporting facilities came online in August 2017. Subsequently, the second phase of the pipeline, as well as the Qirun branch line, Jingbo branch line, Qicheng branch line, Dongfang Hualong branch line, Shenchи branch line, and KeliDa branch line were all built and put into operation. To date, more than 28 million tons of crude oil have been transported via this pipeline, serving 15 refining companies in Shandong Province, and it offers a new \"end-to-end\" service that allows crude oil to be transported directly from the port to the refineries through the pipeline. Since its establishment, Shandong Port has integrated all of Shandong’s crude oil import routes, becoming the largest base for oil loading, unloading, transshipment, and storage along the coast of mainland China. The main line of the Dongjiakou Port–Weifang–Central and Northern Shandong oil pipeline (Phase 3), which was put into operation this time, starts at the Guangrao tank farm terminal, crosses the Yellow River, and ends at the Lihua Yi Petrochemical terminal, with a total length of approximately 78.5 kilometers. Once the third phase of the pipeline network is completed and put into operation, it will connect with the first and second phases of pipelines, as well as 7 other branch lines and 3 existing pipelines at Rizhao Port and Yantai Port. This will create an oil transportation network that spans the entire Shandong region, linking the 65 oil berths and storage tanks holding over 50 million cubic meters of oil in Shandong’s ports to the local oil refining enterprises there. In this way, a framework of \"large ports, large storage areas, and large pipelines\" will be established, covering Shandong and extending into Jiangsu and Henan provinces, thereby forming a community with a shared destiny for crude oil handling. Once Phase 3 of this pipeline comes online, it is expected to have an annual transportation capacity of 30 million tons, thereby reducing carbon emissions by approximately 165,000 tons. At the same time, it will also help Shandong’s petrochemical enterprises save a significant amount on transportation costs; they can reduce their crude oil transportation expenses by one-third each year, resulting in cost savings of nearly 1.5 billion yuan. The environmental, social, and safety benefits are substantial, and it plays a vital role in promoting the transformation and upgrading of Shandong’s petrochemical industry, facilitating the shift to new forms of energy, and achieving high-quality development. At this commissioning ceremony, the groundbreaking ceremony for the southern section of Phase 3 of the Dongjiakou Port–Weifang–Central and Northern Shandong oil pipelines was also held simultaneously. Phase 3 of the pipeline network’s southern route will include new branches such as the Guangrao-Jincheng branch, the Huifeng branch, the Xintai branch, and the Yongxin branch. The total length of these routes is approximately 98 kilometers, and they pass through the three cities of Dongying, Zibo, and Binzhou. This will enhance the capacity for transporting crude oil from start to finish, address the shortage in crude oil transportation amounting to nearly 15 million tons per year, and reduce carbon emissions by around 80,000 tons.

Another effective measure taken by Shandong Province to integrate tea pot smelting plants.

Aren’t long-distance pipelines planned and implemented uniformly by China Pipeline Corporation?

The Shandong Provincial Development and Reform Commission has given its approval; this pipeline is intended for use in Shandong’s local refineries
