Thread Content

The oil pipeline that runs from Daqing, via Tieling, to Fushun and connects directly to Fushun Oil Plants No. 1, No. 2, and No. 3 was the first oil pipeline in Northeast China, as well as the first large-diameter oil pipeline in New China. The total length from Daqing, via Tieling, to the Kangletun oil transfer station in Fushun is 558.63 kilometers. From Kangletun to Oil Plant No. 2, it has a total length of 66.8 kilometers and an inner diameter of 529 millimeters. From Kangletun to Oil Plants 1 and 3, it has a total length of 38.2 kilometers and an inner diameter of 426 millimeters. Fushun Petroleum Machinery Factory manufactured ball valves with an inner diameter of 700 millimeters for the entire pipeline system. Since their operation began in October 1971, oil transportation has proceeded smoothly, creating favorable conditions for further increasing the processing capacity of Fushun’s petroleum industry.
