At the beginning of 2026, the Fourth Operation Area of the No.8 Oil Production Plant adopted a "sprint-from-day-one" approach, concentrating efforts on resolving prominent production bottlenecks. Key challenges tackled included export capacity constraints, wastewater system upgrades, and zonal natural gas metering, ensuring a strong start to the 15th Five-Year Plan period. To enhance the transport capacity of the Song II-4 station's export system, the area quickly formed a task force. Collaborating with the plant's process research institute and the engineering installation and maintenance team, they developed an innovative "saddle-shaped crossover connection" solution after repeated evaluations. This approach enabled dual-line parallel operation with mutual backup, providing robust support for production capacity release. Addressing the wide scope and long duration of the Song Er Lian wastewater system renovation project, a specialized working group was established. Through meticulous coordination with the construction contractor, the construction plan was optimized to require only two short shutdowns, minimizing production impact. The project was completed 18 days ahead of schedule. To improve metering accuracy and resolve issues with interlaced natural gas trunk lines, technical experts from the operation area swiftly designed and implemented a "hot tap connection scheme." This allowed for the efficient replacement and installation of critical valves and flow meters without halting production or reducing output, successfully achieving precise zonal natural gas measurement. The initiative provides accurate data support for refined management and cost reduction and efficiency enhancement efforts in 2026.
