Zungharia Basin Rim Gas Pipeline Network 环准噶尔盆地天然气输送管网 is a pipeline network with more than 30 gas pipelines that are operating in Zungharia Basin Rim, Xinjiang Autonomous Region, China.

Location

The network runs around Zungharia Basin. Its backbone pipeline is from Cainan through Shixi, Karamay, Ürümqi and back to Cainan, in Xinjiang Autonomous Region in China.

Network background

The Zungharia Basin covers an area about 130,000 square kilometers, mostly desert and gobi. The proved reserves of oil and natural gas in the Basin are 8.6 billion tons and 2.5 trillion cubic meters respectively. The massive development of the oil and gas in the basin began in 1995[1]. By 2009, more than 30 gas pipelines were built, including the collecting pipelines, with a total mileage of 1515 kilometers.[2] The mileage was reportedly increased to 1970 kilometers by 2020.[3]

Zungharia Basin Rim Gas Pipeline Network contains three backbone segments with total mileage of 760 kilometers. The designed capacity for the network is 12 billion cubic meters per year. The gas pipeline from Karamay to Ürümqi originally was converted from an oil pipeline in 1998. A new replacement pipeline with bigger pipe diameters was completed in 2006. Ürümqi to Cainan pipeline began operating in 2007. [4]The pipeline from Cainan through Shixi to Karamay was completed in 2008 to replace an old pipeline to better support the increasing gas production. [4]The network was proposed in 2007 [5], and announced completion in 2008[1]

With this rim net work, the natural gas from various gas fields in Zungharia Basin can delivered to Dushanzi Petrochemical Company, Urumqi Petrochemical Company and Karamay Petrochemical Company, as well as the residential usage in the cities along the pipeline. [1]

环准噶尔盆地天然气输送管网年设计输气能力为120亿立方米,总长760余公里,分为彩南-石西-克拉玛依、克拉玛依-乌鲁木齐、乌鲁木齐-彩南三段,沿线分布着玛河、石西、彩南、盆五等多个天然气产区。今后,通过该环形地下天然气管网,可直接实现准噶尔盆地内天然气的灵活调配,并能满足新疆独山子石化公司、乌鲁木齐石化公司和克拉玛依石化公司对天然气的需求。

准噶尔盆地天然气的大规模开发起步于1995年。当时,彩南、石西等油田相继发现了随原油涌出的伴生气,但随之建成的彩-石-克输气管线管径仅273毫米,全年仅能输配25亿立方米天然气。进入新世纪,盆地不断发现大型气田,原有的管道输气能力明显偏小,无法适应新的需要。环准噶尔盆地天然气输送管网的建成,将能有效解决这一瓶颈问题。[1]

On July 8, 2023, Xinjiang Autonomous Region government signed a strategic cooperation agreement with China National Petroleum Corporation (PetroChina). PetroChina will expand gas pipeline in Xinjiang with the milage of 4977 kilometers. The expansion consists of 14 projects and will reach 10 municipalities in Xinjiang which have not been reached by gas pipeline. Among these pipeline projects, 5 will be deployed in Northern Xinjiang with 4.66 billion RMB budget, totalling 2863.5 kilometers. The other 9 projects will be deployed in Southern Xinjiang, totalling 2113.5 kilometers. The investment is expected to be 7.99 billion RMB. [6]

The same news source also confirmed that the milage of Zungharia Basin Rim Gas Pipeline Network has reached 2067 kilometers, covering 9 municipalities and 7 million of population. The milage of Tarim Basin Rim Gas Pipeline Network has reached 3037 kilometers, covering 4.3 million of population in 5 municipalities. [6]

No details about these 14 projects are disclosed.

7月8日,自治区人民政府与中国石油天然气集团有限公司签订战略合作协议,中石油将在新疆10个地州扩建天然气管道工程,总里程达4977公里。

自治区发展改革委党组书记、副主任王岿然介绍,此次扩建的天然气管道工程共有14个项目。其中,北疆有5个项目,将投资46.6亿元,扩建2863.5公里天然气管道;南疆有9个项目,将投资79.9亿元,扩建2113.5公里天然气管道。

中国石油天然气集团有限公司党组成员、副总经理黄永章介绍,中石油在北疆环准噶尔盆地已建成2067公里天然气管网,惠及乌鲁木齐市、克拉玛依市等9个地州市700万人口,累计输气超650亿立方米;在南疆已建成3037公里天然气管网,惠及南疆五地州430万人口,累计输气超500亿立方米。[6]


On July 8, the People's Government of the autonomous region signed a strategic cooperation agreement with China National Petroleum Corporation. PetroChina will expand natural gas pipeline projects in 10 prefectures in Xinjiang, with a total mileage of 4,977 kilometers.

Wang Keran, Secretary of the Party Leadership Group and Deputy Director of the Autonomous Region Development and Reform Commission, introduced that there are 14 projects in the expansion of natural gas pipeline projects. Among them, there are 5 projects in northern Xinjiang, with an investment of 4.66 billion yuan, to expand 2863.5 kilometers of natural gas pipelines; there are 9 projects in southern Xinjiang, with an investment of 7.99 billion yuan, to expand 2113.5 kilometers of natural gas pipelines.

Huang Yongzhang, member of the party group and deputy general manager of China National Petroleum Corporation, introduced that CNPC has built a 2,067-kilometer natural gas pipeline network in the Junggar Basin in northern Xinjiang, benefiting 7 million people in 9 prefectures and cities including Urumqi and Karamay. The cumulative gas transmission exceeds 65 billion cubic meters; a 3,037-kilometer natural gas pipeline network has been built in southern Xinjiang, benefiting a population of 4.3 million in the five prefectures in southern Xinjiang, and the cumulative gas transmission exceeds 50 billion cubic meters.

2006年11月,克(克拉玛依)乌(乌鲁木齐)D610输气管道工程全线竣工,11月20日中午12时整,克乌D610输气管道正式投入试运行。该工程是股份公司和自治区的重点工程项目,去年11月20日工程正式开工。新建管道全长284.8公里,起点是克拉玛依金龙一级配气站,终点为乌鲁木齐王家沟门站。据了解,现运行的克拉玛依至乌鲁木齐D529输气管道是1998年由一条输油管线改造而成,随着天然气需求量日趋旺盛,D529输气管道作为油田公司唯一的天然气外输干线,其技术水平和输送能力已不能满足天然气外输量增长的需要。经股份公司批准,油田公司决定新建一条输气管道替代现有的D529管道。

新建管道投产后,输气量将大幅增加,2006年至2010年,克拉玛依方向设计输气量为21亿立方米,乌鲁木齐方向为13亿立方米;2010年至2015年,克拉玛依方向设计输气量为28亿立方米,乌鲁木齐方向为26亿立方米。

D610输气管道试运行一段时间后,将全面替代D529管道。届时,油田公司将对D529管道实施改造,将其改为输油管道,设计输油量为每年410万吨。[10]
