Does Maoming really have a lot of oil

Yes, Maoming has a lot of oil, but it is not the origin of oil. In 1960s and 1970s, Maoming discovered oil, but it was not liquid but attached to rocks. However, the price of that kind of oil refining is too high and it is very harmful to the environment, so Maoming relies on importing crude oil from abroad (mainly in the Middle East) to refine oil. Maoming is the largest oil base in southern China. Maoming people of the older generation are no strangers to Maoming, an oil shale mine with an area of 10.07 square kilometers, which is also an open pit mine. According to the survey data, since/kloc-0 was officially put into production in June, 1962, Maoming oil shale open pit mine has produced about 102 million tons of oil shale and 2.92 million tons of shale crude oil, which has made positive contributions to new China's getting rid of the label of "oil-poor country".

However, due to the high mining cost and serious ecological pollution, the development of Maoming oil shale gradually stopped until June 1993.

However, Maoming's petrochemical industry, led by oil refining and ethylene production, occupies an important position in the country. Guangdong Maoming Petrochemical Company was established in May 1955, which is one of the key projects of the First Five-Year Plan 156. The primary processing capacity of crude oil exceeds 20 million tons/year, and the ethylene production capacity is 1 10,000 tons/year. It has more than 70 sets of main production devices, complete ports and docks, offshore crude oil loading and unloading and railway transportation systems, and crude oil and refined oil pipeline transportation systems (the starting point and hub station of refined oil pipelines in Southwest China and Pearl River Delta).

At the end of 2006, the original value of the company's fixed assets was 24.048 billion yuan, and the net value was 65.438+03.422 billion yuan. The company has 7,488 registered employees. Company 10 set a new record for domestic enterprises, with more than 30 patents authorized by the state.

Maoming Branch firmly grasps the top priority of development. 1996 After the completion and production of 300,000 tons/year ethylene (the capacity was expanded to 360,000 tons/year in the second year), the refining capacity of199 was expanded and transformed, and the crude oil processing capacity was expanded from 8.5 million tons/year to/kloc-0.35 million tons.

Since 2004, the company has built 6,543,800 tons/year coking unit, 6,543,800 tons/year catalytic reforming unit and 2,600,000 tons/year diesel hydrogenation unit in accordance with the "five in one" policy of "upgrading, rectification, restructuring, technical transformation, tapping potential and increasing efficiency".

In June 5438+February 65438+May, 2004, the company carried out ethylene reconstruction and expansion, which was completed and put into operation in September 65438+June, 2006 in only 2 1 month, creating a new record of short construction period, low investment, good start-up and high degree of localization of equipment and technology for similar ethylene projects in China. So far, the ethylene production capacity has expanded from 360,000 tons/year to 6,543.8+0,000 tons/year, and Maoming Branch has become the first ethylene production base in China with 6,543.8+0,000 tons/year.

In this way, Maoming Branch's refining capacity is1000000 tons and ethylene10000000 tons, and its refining scale is among the best in China. It can provide more than 2.6 million tons of chemical products and 65.438+0 million tons of refined oil products to the market every year, with an average annual sales income of more than 80 billion yuan and an average annual profit and tax of more than 654.38+0 billion yuan. At the same time, it can also drive tens or even hundreds of billions of ethylene post-processing output value, which is beneficial to the local economy.
