[Haichuan Chemical Salary News] Environmental impact assessment approved for Ningxia Yinshan Energy’s 650,000 tons/year oil and gas project (Phase I)
Thread Content
The 650,000 tons per year comprehensive utilization project of oil and gas associated resources (Phase I) of Ningxia Yinshan Energy Chemical Co., Ltd. is located in Block 2 of the Tongxin Industrial Park, on both sides of Taisheng Road – that is, within the planned areas to the west, east, and south of the current Huaping Kecorí factory site. With Taisheng Road as the boundary, the proposed site can be divided into two sections: those north and south of the road. The project covers an area of 36.682 hectares, of which the western zone occupies 20.333 hectares, the eastern zone 13.409 hectares, and the southern zone 2.94 hectares; it processes 650,000 tons of condensate per year. Construct a 650,000 t/a condensate processing unit, a 200,000-ton heavy oil reaction unit, a 40,000 t/a gas fractionation unit, a 10,000 t/a MTBE production unit, an 80,000 t/a polypropylene production unit, a 350,000 t/a diesel hydroprocessing unit, a 100,000 t/a gasoline hydroprocessing unit, a 300,000-ton light hydrocarbon aromatization unit, a 1,000-ton sulfur recovery complex, along with supporting utility systems, auxiliary facilities, and environmental protection systems. The project is constructed in accordance with the principle of one-time planning and phased construction ；
Phase I of the project includes a 650,000 t/a condensate unit, along with supporting facilities such as MTBE production plants, gas fractionation units, heavy oil reaction units, diesel hydrotreating units, gasoline hydrotreating units, sulfur recovery units, light hydrocarbon aromatization units, and polypropylene production units, as well as the associated utility systems, auxiliary systems, and environmental protection facilities. Phase 2 includes a 1.2 million t/a light hydrocarbon aromatization unit and a 150,000 t/a alkylation unit ； Phase 3 (to be determined). The investment for the first phase of the project amounts to 780 million yuan, of which 66.68 million yuan is allocated to environmental protection measures, accounting for 8.55% of the total investment. This amount is used primarily for waste gas treatment, wastewater treatment, preventing leakage in the factory area, risk mitigation, noise control, and the disposal of solid waste. The project started on March 9th.
Not bad, what is it? This is a small refinery for processing heavy oil. Ningxia does not produce oil, so it has to import heavy oil from Xinjiang or Central Asian countries such as Kazakhstan and Turkey. How much profit can be made?
Is it possible to obtain these things from the nearby Changqing Oil Field or the Yanchang Oilfield?
The extended kerosene co-refining technology is based on the presence of both coal and heavy oil. Changqing Oilfield has its own refining capacity of 5 million tons per year. In Yinchuan, there is a Baota Group; its two refineries together have a capacity of 5 to 8 million tons, and they are specialized in processing heavy oils and other types of crude oil. Now the owner of Baota Finance ZP has gotten in; I wonder if the factory will still keep operating?
Process 650,000 tons of condensate oil. To build a 650,000 t/a condensate processing plant, the main source should be various gas production plants and gas extraction teams
In any case, the positive impact of this project on this impoverished county is significant.
