Liaohe Oilfield: Refreshing Concepts And Gathering Strength To "Return To 10 Million Tons"

China Petroleum Network News, after the coordinated adjustment of the steam injection volume of two surrounding related well groups, the daily output of the Liaohe Oilfield SAGD well - Du 84-Guan H59 well increased by more than 20 tons. "By changing 'one well, one policy' to 'one reservoir, one policy', and changing the single well regulation to regional overall regulation, the remaining oil underground has been more fully utilized." Xiao Juan, a third-level engineer at the Shuguang Oil Production Plant of Liaohe Oilfield, said.

Faced with the difficulties of increasing imbalance between reserves and production and difficulty in reducing costs, Liaohe Oilfield took the new round of "changing concepts, daring to innovate, strengthening management, and creating first-class" themed education activities as an opportunity to place "changing concepts" in a more prominent position. Through multi-form learning, multi-dimensional lectures, and multi-angle discussions, it promoted cadres and employees to change ten concepts such as "one policy for each well" and "alley thinking", and established ten new concepts such as "one policy for each layer, one policy for each storage area", and "breaking a penny into three petals", so as to lead a major breakthrough in development with a major change in concepts.

The Liaohe Oilfield Party Committee has integrated the study and application of the Party's innovative theories throughout the entire process of the theme education activities. Team members, in combination with their division of labor, systematically sorted out outdated concepts in their respective business areas that are not adapted to the new situation, and focused on development goals to clarify new ideas and measures. The company's Party Committee has set up a "Sound of Liaohe" lecture group led by the main leaders, and adopted methods such as company leaders taking the lead in speaking, the heads of the headquarters' departments and offices going to the second-level units to carry out full coverage lectures, the headquarters sending people to speak at the grassroots level, and AI radio cloud lectures to promote new concepts and new requirements to take effect at the grassroots level. Party organizations at all levels held a large discussion around the theme of "Restoring Glory with Me" to further consolidate the ideological synergy of crude oil "returning to tens of millions of tons".

Change the concept, the headquarters takes the lead. "In the past, fracturing measures were concentrated on oil wells, and water well fracturing was less, resulting in insufficient energy replenishment..." In the theme education discussion organized by the Oilfield Development Division, various new viewpoints and new ideas collided fiercely, promoting the development concept from "developing oil and gas reservoirs" to "operating oil and gas reservoirs". Since the beginning of this year, the development system has promoted the "seven thousand projects" such as fine injection of 1,000 wells and fracturing transformation of 1,000 wells to replenish the underground "vitality" and rebuild a good development order. As of the end of March, more than 1,500 wells have implemented various production increase measures this year, increasing oil by 756 tons per day and increasing water (steam) injection by more than 600 cubic meters per day.

All grassroots production units take "changing concepts" as the forerunner to solve problems. "The temperature of heavy oil pipeline transportation cannot be lower than 45 degrees Celsius, otherwise it will block the pipeline." This is the practice that Station 13 of Huanxiling Oil Production Plant has adhered to for more than 30 years. In the theme education activities, the party branch of the station focused on the hypothesis of "whether cold transportation without heating is feasible" to discuss, guide everyone to establish the cost control concept of "breaking a penny into three petals", and organize party members and technical backbones to tackle the cold transportation technology of some high-water-content heavy oil wells. After the shutdown of the furnace for cold transportation of 4 wells with a wellhead temperature of about 30 degrees Celsius, the daily solar term of a single furnace reached 150 cubic meters.
