Exploring the Characteristic EPC Mode of Overseas Natural Gas Production and Operation

The Turkmenistan Amudarya gas cooperation project is the largest overseas project of oil and natural gas development of CNPC.The accumulated 7.3×109m3 natural gas was transported so far back to China from the date of Celebration ceremony of the production on December 14th,2009.In accordance with production running general contract Southwest Oil and Gasfield Company provides technical support,operation management,maintenance and rush repair,supply services,etc.Under the difficult condition of resource ensuring,lack of materials,entry visa,bad climate and others,the corresponding measures were taken:(1) early intervene,and one to one technical supporting,optimizing design on time;(2) elaborate preparation,31 wells,4 natural gas purification devices,3 gathering stations,2 high-power compressor units were successfully put into operation,and ensured that the celebration ceremony was hold on time in which four heads of countries were on the scene;(3) ensure that the installation safety,stable,long term full loading and optimum being running for 700 days,the measures of optimal operation,rapid response,tracking and management were taken;(4) put forth the company internal technology advantages in the respects of material supply,production and operation integrity management,sour gas fields development,safety and environmental protection foundation superiority,the implementation force of the team,etc.to create first-class management performance;(5) build the energy cooperation and cultural exchange platform between China and Turkmenistan;create integrated management mode;advance the project operation of localization strategy;and continuously improve the team management level.In this way,this project plays the lead role in establishing overseas management demonstration area,with the high efficiency,stable,safe management performance level of high sour natural gas development of CNPC,creatively explored overseas natural gas production and operation of EPC mode which accommodate the resource country’s supervision.
