Witnessing the decade-long rapid development of chemical processing equipment; praising the prosperity and strength of modern China. Replies will be rewarded – discussions are welcome. ------------------------------------------- On November 30, 2022, with the completion of the fire dike for Tank Group No. 10, the overall construction project for the 5.2 million cubic meter crude oil commercial storage facility in Jieyang, Guangdong, which was undertaken by the South China branch of Daqing Oilfield Engineering Construction Company, was finalized. The project has now entered the stage of joint commissioning. 　　It is reported that this project is a large-scale crude oil storage facility built by CNPC in Jieyang, Guangdong. It is also the largest EPC project of its kind related to refining and storage that Daqing Oilfield Engineering Construction Company has undertaken since its establishment, with a total investment of 5.5 billion yuan. Upon completion of this project, the annual handling volume of crude oil will reach 34.5 million tons. The storage capacity for heavy crude oil will be 1.6 million cubic meters, while that for light crude oil will be 2.8 million cubic meters. This will not only meet the needs for crude oil storage but also provide a sufficient and reliable supply of crude oil for Guangdong’s petrochemical integration projects, which is of great significance for promoting the transformation and upgrading of China’s petroleum refining industry. 　　It is understood that the project comprises 58 main unit projects and 148 individual construction tasks. Once the key control items pass the inspection, and the physical structure of the project as well as the relevant documents meet the design requirements and specifications, then the quality of the project is considered acceptable. The construction of the project took 385 days of effective working time, with nearly 4,000 workers employed during the peak period. During the project construction process, in the face of challenges such as tight deadlines, large scale of work, typhoons, and the COVID-19 pandemic, all the employees involved did not wait for assistance; they reversed the timeline for tasks and worked systematically. Adhering to high standards in design, high quality in construction, and meticulous management, they managed to create a project site that changed significantly with each passing day, ultimately completing all the construction tasks on schedule.
