Creative Management in Industrial Conversion and Upgrading of Huabei Oilfield Luo Ning, Xu Zhiyong and Liu Xiangjun 2014, 33(6): 17-21.  DOI: 10.3969/j.issn.1002-302x.2014.06.003 Abstract ( )   PDF (2047KB) ( )   Huabei Oilfield has been brought under development for nearly 40 years. The underground resources of the old field became poor in quality with the development cost rising year by year. Many in-depth contradictions loomed large owing to unreasonable industrial structure. Taking advantage of the opportunity, PetroChina Huabei Oilfield Company energetically promoted industrial structural adjustment and highlighted industrial conversion and upgrading as basic strategic point for sustainable development. Guided by the strategy of “resources, market and diversification,” the company is striving to construct a development pattern that is “dominated by conventional oil and gas business and extended into the industrial chain of both upstream and downstream sectors with the proportion of clean energy continually rising.” Under the precondition of keeping the oil and gas production stable, the company accelerate development of new energy, downstream business of natural gas, construction of gas depots as well as energy saving and reduction of emission, setting the old oilfield on the track of sustainable and healthy development and expanding the economic scale of the enterprise for higher economic performance.

It is of vital importance to have effective technological support teams and appropriate technological support pattern for optimization of overseas projects and maximization of economic performance. Overseas projects are usually characterized for their changeable contract types and transaction patterns as well as their demand for technological development focusing on field support. Based on analysis of technological support of the Andes project in Ecuador in recent years, this paper summarizes the characteristics of overseas projects in the areas of technological demand and technological support. Technological support process of overseas projects should be characterized as effective, timely, applicable and predictive. The project management pattern should be flexible and high-efficiency while the work process is standardized, with a multi-disciplinary research team. In addition, this paper briefs about the backing pattern, technological integration and creation as well as the achievements made in the technological support process of overseas projects.

Analysis of Prospects, Risks and Path of Oil and Gas Cooperation between China and East African Nations Luo Zuoxian and Lei Hang 2014, 33(6): 60-65.  DOI: 10.3969/j.issn.1002-302x.2014.06.011 Abstract ( )   PDF (2180KB) ( )   Elaborating the current conditions of oil and gas resources and industrialization in East Africa, this paper analyzes and predicts the patterns of the future oil and gas industrial development in this region. Generally speaking, the African oil and gas resources and industrialization are distributed “heavily in the east and lightly in the west.” However, with significant oil and gas breakthroughs made continually in East African region in recent years, changes are taking place in the African oil and gas blueprint: Sudan and South Sudan take the lead in Eastern African oil and gas industrial development, followed by the newlyemerging oil and gas producers, such as Mozambique, Tanzania, Kenya, Uganda and Madagascar. Based on such a situation, the paper analyzes the current conditions, prospects, opportunities and risks for oil and gas cooperation between China and the related Eastern African nations. It also comes up with a number of suggestions on China’s in-depth oil and gas cooperation with East Africa, such as active involvement in natural gas investment and trade in the emerging natural gas countries like Mozambique and Tanzania, investment in infrastructural construction projects in Eastern African nations, consolidation of oil cooperation with South Sudan and Sudan, and establishment of bases for China’s oil and gas cooperation with East Africa.
