On the way back home, there are always some landmarks. Just as Shanhaiguan is to the northeast traveler, Xingxingxia is to the Xinjiang traveler. Seeing it, one knows that their hometown is close. For the people of Dongying, Shandong, the "signpost" that guides travelers is a type of petroleum machinery equipment - the "kowtow machine". Dongying people have a special affection for "kowtow machines". There is a weight of history in this relationship. During the period of socialist construction, we embarked on the path of industrialization by forging ahead and urgently needed to achieve energy independence. On the desolate land of retreat from the sea, batches of oil workers gather, and "kowtow machines" stand up one by one, digging up the rich reserves of the earth and infusing the blood of industry into countless capillaries. Throughout history, the "kowtow machine" still stands tall, and the responsibility of "ensuring national energy security and safeguarding economic and social development" remains consistent. Breaking through the bottleneck of oil displacement technology and conquering high-temperature and high salt oil reservoirs that were once considered "forbidden zones"; The research and development of combined fracture network fracturing technology has gradually opened up the feasibility of shale oil extraction... In today's era of high-quality development, a multi A-level old oil field has emerged, which is still the forefront of technological innovation to secure the energy bowl. As time goes by, the "road signs" are not fixed. Along the way home, there are more and more neatly arranged photovoltaic panels and towering wind turbines, which are becoming the new "road signs" for travelers returning home. How did old oil fields connect with new energy? Oil fields are both energy producers and consumers - oil and gas production consumes a lot of electricity and heat, and under the guidance of the "dual carbon" goal, there is enormous potential for green and low-carbon transformation. In addition, the increasing difficulty and cost of extracting old oil fields cannot be avoided, and it is necessary to find a "second curve". Developing new energy is the common divisor of the two. Transformation is not just about epistemology, but also tests methodology. How to prevent duplicate investment from causing "internal competition"? How to avoid the fragmentation of new and old energy sources? Carrying strong industrial inertia, these questions must be answered by resource cities and energy enterprises. To solve problems, one should not only adapt to the situation, but also adapt to local conditions. Revitalize idle land, build a multi energy complementary comprehensive utilization project of "wind solar thermal storage+multi-source microgrid" in the well site area of a meritorious oil well, and transform industrial heritage into a carbon neutral demonstration zone; Digging deep into production technology, a "well king" who has been continuously producing oil for 40 years, has completed the transformation of green heat industrial application. The once difficult to utilize high-temperature wastewater heat energy has been collected for oil-water heating separation, replacing traditional gas heating... Based on the advantages of the main business, new energy is organically embedded in old oil fields, complementing and complementing each other. General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out that "the oil front has always been a banner for the reform and development of the Republic, and we must continue to raise this banner well. The flag always flies at the forefront of the times. Only by not fearing difficulties, breaking new paths, and setting benchmarks can the flag be held high. Leading change with new concepts, empowering transformation with new technologies, highlighting strengths, and effectively filling weaknesses, Shengli Oilfield is creating an observation model for the green and low-carbon development of traditional oil and gas enterprises. From this perspective, isn't the "landmark" for returning home also the "coordinate" for development? Moving towards a new and green direction is the trend, and high-quality development is the top priority. Only by simultaneously breaking through and deepening the transformation of kinetic energy can resource cities overcome the "troubles of growth". Moreover, the actual situation varies greatly in different regions and industries. To walk this path well, it is necessary to anchor one's own "coordinates" and avoid "setting formulas" and "copying homework". Yunnan Gejiu has moved from being the "world's tin capital" to a "gliding destination", Ningxia Ningdong Energy and Chemical Base has moved from "relying on coal to eat coal" to "turning coal into gold", Inner Mongolia has achieved a butterfly transformation from "sheep, coal, soil, gas" to "proud and proud"... Adhering to the necessary actions, making efforts that can be done, and never doing what should not be done, more and more resource-based areas are exploring new paths for transformation and development, delivering high-quality development results of energy security, industrial revitalization, and people's happiness, and helping to grasp the initiative of development. The road back home is not only the life experience of micro individuals, but also reflects the development trend of macro society. Looking at the whole country from a single perspective, observing the various industries from a single perspective, the small changes around each person converge to form the rapidly changing and thriving land beneath our feet. As the years change, the spring scenery is just right. At the beginning of the 15th Five Year Plan, various regions are seeking development with clear positioning. We believe that when we return home next year, more people will encounter the surging new trends. (New Society)
