This is another important measure taken by the National Pipeline Network Group to ensure national energy security and stabilize energy "rice bowls". The provincial energy supply structure is of great significance.

The Ripuluo pipeline project starts at Rizhao City, Shandong Province and ends at Luoyang City, Henan Province. It has a total length of 796 kilometers and a pipe diameter of 762 mm. The designed annual oil delivery capacity is 10 million tons. It mainly transports imported crude oil from Rizhao to serve Henan. Provincial petrochemical enterprises. After the pipeline is put into operation, it will change the history of users relying on train transportation for energy consumption, effectively reduce crude oil transportation costs and increase economic benefits; at the same time, it will help improve the layout of crude oil pipelines in the central and eastern regions of my country, and further promote the local chemical industry to cluster and refine , High-end development.

A century-old plan, quality first.

At the same time, stricter protective measures such as increasing the thickness of the protective layer have been adopted for pipelines that cross river sections and other special sections, and strive to build green pipelines to promote the harmonious development of energy and the environment.

The Ripuluo pipeline entered the commissioning stage from east to west at 9 o'clock on November 6th. In order to ensure the first-time production success, the National Pipeline Network Group systematically formulated a production plan, emergency response plan, epidemic prevention and control work plan, etc., and repeated serious drills; selected elite soldiers to participate in the production and transportation work, and paid close attention to the oil transportation equipment Facility operation data, dedicated personnel stationed in external pipelines in sections; using self-driven internal detectors independently developed and domestic leading level to carry out internal inspections on the entire pipeline, effectively troubleshooting and eliminating hidden dangers such as pipeline defects, and achieving long-term stability for pipeline oil production Created the conditions.
