Successful commissioning of the extended refining and chemical BOG helium recovery project
Thread Content
On December 31, 2022, the BOG helium recovery project owned by Yanchang Petroleum Refining Company’s Natural Gas Co., Ltd. completed its first trial run successfully, producing helium gas of 99.999% purity that met the required standards. Since the construction of this project began on September 15, 2022, in the face of challenges such as pandemic control measures and concurrent construction activities at the site, the refining and petrochemical company as well as the natural gas company worked around these obstacles by adjusting schedules accordingly. The project team worked day and night, coordinating efforts from all parties, making extraordinary efforts and working beyond normal capacity to overcome various difficulties and challenges, including a shortage of personnel, a tight construction deadline, and the complexities associated with testing during winter. In just 3 months, the project was completed on December 14, with qualified products being produced by December 31.
I recently read a novel set during the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, and only then did I learn that Yanchang Petroleum was an important economic pillar of the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia Border Region, with a long revolutionary tradition. My apologies
Why is it called Yanchang Petroleum? Yan’an + Changqing? ? ? ?
For over a thousand years, due to limitations in science and technology, people could only extract some oil from rock cracks and water surfaces, using it to lubricate axles, light lamps, and treat scabies in livestock. It was not until 1904, at the beginning of the 20th century, that Cao Hongxun, the governor of Shaanxi, submitted a request to trial the establishment of oil mines. Three years later, on September 6, 1907, the first oil well was finally drilled in a place called Qili Village, along the banks of the Yan River in Yanchang County. It was China’s first oil well on land, producing 150 liters of oil per day; the first oil refinery was also established there, named the Yanchang Petroleum Official Factory. When the kerosene produced by this oil refinery was delivered to Xi’an, the provincial capital, it caused a sensation in the city, as the oil lamps fueled by it were extremely bright.

Building and strengthening enterprises through technology, as well as maximizing the potential of BOG, are highly instructive.
