On September 24th, the 3-day 4th (2025) Petroleum and Petrochemical Industry Exhibition and EPC Industrial Products Exhibition opened in Nanjing International Expo Center of Hexi Group. With the theme of "Innovation-Openness-Green-Intelligence", the exhibition covers an area of 70,000 square meters, bringing together more than 500 leading enterprises in the industry, and focusing on displaying a number of petroleum and petrochemical fields with the latest localized technology and equipment.
At the exhibition, the reporter saw
As a host and key participant
The "Nanjing Army" with a complete industry chain
is delivering a series of breakthroughs
Demonstrate its hardcore strength in the national energy and chemical map
Strive for "oil"
Demanding oil and gas from the deep sea and extreme cold
Steel "backbone" supports energy security
The sea wind whistles, wrapped in salty vapor, and the tumbling sea water meets the sea of clouds at the skyline. In such an environment, the drilling platform carrying a large number of heavy equipment should not only be stable as Mount Taishan in the sea, but also penetrate thousands of meters into the seabed to cut the waves and break the ground, and "explore the treasure of the Dragon Palace", to extract the "industrial blood" oil in the vast and boundless sea.
Advancing into the deep sea, where is the bottom line?
"We developed ultra-high-strength marine engineering steel, the maximum thickness of 210mm, at -162 ℃ under the extreme cold environment, still maintain good toughness, steel yield strength, up to 690 MPa, able to withstand hurricanes of more than 15 levels." In the booth of Nanjing Iron and Steel Group, Zhou Guicheng, general manager of the South Steel Plate Division, said.
After oil and gas are extracted, transportation becomes critical.
On one side of the booth, there is a picture of the China-Russia Eastern Route Project. In the picture, a black pipeline "climbs" through the snow, extending into the distance. "In the China-Russia Eastern Route Project, we are supplying X70 and X80 pipelines for the Heihe-Changling section in the north, Changling-Yongqing section in the middle, Tai'an-Taixing section in the south, Nantong-Luzhi section (the first batch of steel pipes), and the LNG pipeline project in Binhai, Jiangsu Province. The supply of X70 and X80 pipeline plate, realizing the supply of the entire line of South Steel pipeline steel in the East China-Russia line. "Zhou Guicheng told reporters, from the strata of oil and gas mining out of the complex composition, high pressure, conventional materials of pipeline steel can not meet the production needs. Nanshan Steel's pipeline steel "tailor-made", steel grade from B-level research and development to the "ceiling" of the X120 level, engineering applications to the X80 level, hydrogen sulfide corrosion resistant pipeline, deep sea pipeline, high steel grade pipeline and other types of varieties at home and abroad in the major oil and gas projects! "Steel".
Next to the oil and gas pipeline, a large round pier white tank, is very cute. "Don't look at this model 'cute', in fact the volume can reach hundreds of thousands of cubic meters." Zhou Guicheng said with a smile.
Energy companies often liquefy natural gas, compressing it to 1/625th of its original volume, while natural gas liquefaction and liquid storage temperatures need to be as low as -162°C. The lower the temperature, the lower the toughness and strength of the steel. The lower the temperature, the lower the toughness and strength of the steel will be. "We added a certain percentage of nickel to the steel, and smelted '9-nickel steel' through a special process. It still has good performance at -196°C and is widely used in the construction of LNG storage tanks and transport ships." Zhou Guicheng said that Nangang's "9-nickel steel" has had the largest market share for 12 consecutive years, and the product is used in the LNG project of liquefied natural gas storage tanks.
From "a drop of oil" to "a coat".
Intelligent equipment empowers industry chain extension
The oil that was extracted with so much hard work.
How do you turn it into supplies for your life?
In the petrochemical PCCW information technology limited liability company, intelligent hardware solutions director Xu Haitao to show the reporterAutomatic Gasoline Octane Number Measuring MachineThe "one-click inspection" process. The device will be available inCommissioned in October at Jinling Petrochemical, dramatically improving detection safety and efficiency.
Traditional manual testing is not only inefficient, the operator is exposed to gasoline volatile environment for a long time, there are also health hazards. "In the past, to do an octane number test, the experimenter has to turn the handwheel like an 'old driver cranking the handle', and also has to keep a close eye on the meter, pinch the meter, manually count the number of people can not leave the post, and a high degree of mental tension." Zhang Yao Yang, product manager, pointed to the equipment and said that now, as long as the oil sample is poured into the oil cup, click on the start, and all the follow-up is done automatically, realizing the "human-oil separation, automatic operation", and greatly improving the safety and work efficiency.
"All testing data is uploaded in real time, and every drop of gasoline leaving the factory has a 'digital ID card', eliminating problems such as discrepancies in labeling and quality fluctuations at the source." He said.
Oil doesn't just "run" on the road.
You can wear it.
"The main fabrics used to make swimsuits - synthetic fibers such as nylon, polyester and spandex - come from petroleum. Petrochemical companies produce polymer raw materials, and through our equipment, the polymer compounds are 'spun' into 'silk' and processed into synthetic fibers, which are eventually turned into consumer products such as swimsuits and yoga wear." Ma Rui Chao, sales manager of the company, said that in the past, this kind of high-end equipment has long been monopolized by enterprises in Europe and the United States and other places, the price is high, restricting the development of China's new materials industry, "Today, our equipment not only to achieve the localization of substitution, the cost is only one-fifth or even one-tenth of the cost of similar foreign products."
Nanjing is becoming an increasingly important "technology partner" in the field of new global chemical materials. "This Iranian customer has been cooperating with us for twelve years, and has purchased more than ten sets of production lines." Ma Rui Chao pointed to the negotiating foreign businessmen said. It is reported that at present, the company's products 30% exported to the Middle East, Southeast Asia and other regions.
Green Transformation in Progress
"Carbon Catcher for a low-carbon future
The oil and gas industry is both a major energy producer and a major energy consumer, and technological breakthroughs to realize energy saving and carbon reduction have become a key path. At SINOPEC NANHUA's booth, carbon dioxide capture, utilization and storage (CCUS) technology attracted a lot of attention.
"A large amount of carbon dioxide is generated during industrial production, which was earlier mostly discharged as waste gas. But in Nanhua, through carbon dioxide capture solvents and equipment, it will be captured in the flue exhaust vent, and after treatment and pressurization, it will become liquid carbon dioxide." The person in charge of the booth, liquid carbon dioxide is transported to the oilfield enterprises as oilfield oil repellent, through high-pressure pumps into the crude oil layer thousands of meters below ground, re-"on duty", to "carbon" to drive the oil - -The CO2 added to the crude oil will become fluffy and more fluid, making it easier to collect. In this way, the crude oil hidden in the "nooks and crannies" can be "squeezed" out, increasing the recovery rate of at least 18%.
Petrochemical industry is one of the important pillar industries in Nanjing, has formed a complete industrial chain from oil refining, chemicals to high-end materials, gathered a number of leading enterprises such as Yangzi Petrochemicals, Jinling Petrochemicals, BASF, Celanese, etc., but also continue to promote the high-end, intelligent, green transformation of the industry. In recent years, Nanjing has continuously strengthened cooperation with Sinopec Group, and accelerated the construction of major multi-billion industry projects such as comprehensive utilization of light hydrocarbons by Yangzi Yanba and high-end daily chemical products by Jinling Petrochemical.
