shale oil is the oil attached to the shale rock or the gap, because of its difficult to extract and is called "squeezed" out of the rock cracks in the oil. PetroChina announced on May 4 that my countr

vegetation vines hair, spring mountain is expected. It's a good time to plant trees and increase green.

The report of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China pointed out that the coordinated promotion of carbon reduction, pollution reduction, green expansion, and growth, and the promotion of ecological priority, conservation and intensive, green and low-carbon development.

the barren hills are covered with splendid scenery, and the sand sea is changed into green clothes. Under the guidance of Xi Jinping's thoughts on ecological civilization, China's oil greening work has continued to reach a new level. In 2024, with its outstanding contributions in the field of biodiversity conservation, it was successfully selected as the most admired Chinese company all-star list of Fortune and the "Petrochemical Coal" industry star list. By the end of 2024, the green space area of PetroChina will reach 0.36 billion square meters, of which 5.066 million square meters will be added in 2024. It will continue to create a high-value ecology, promote high-quality development, and draw a new picture of beautiful China's oil.

Sowing Green Hope to Gather All Staff Strength of Voluntary Tree Planting

in small groups, swinging shovel, propping seedlings, soil, tread, watering ...... This year, in the Pudong New Area, Chongming District and other gas stations, Shanghai sales more than 30 cadres and employees work together to plant 30 loquat, pomegranate and other trees.

"We carry out voluntary tree planting activities in the green area of gas stations to add a touch of green to spring." Shanghai Sales People West Road gas station manager Li Xiaojun said.

afforestation is a noble cause that will benefit the present and the future. For a long time, PetroChina has fulfilled the "green contract" with spring every year, adhered to the principle of "leaders taking the lead in demonstration, extensive participation of employees, and various forms of due diligence", and actively participated in voluntary tree planting activities. In 2024, a total of 1.01 million people took part in voluntary tree planting, with a total of 3.41 million trees (including conversion), continuously adding new green to the construction of beautiful China.

, the social influence of the public welfare activity "I plant trees for carbon neutrality" continues to rise. As of the end of December 2024, the public welfare activity "I plant trees for carbon neutrality" initiated by PetroChina has raised more than 47 million yuan in the past two years. "As an employee of a central enterprise, I should bear the responsibility and obligation of taking off and landing carbon and greening. I will insist on planting the ecological environment '." Niu Guangdong, an employee of Daqing Petrochemical Public Works Department 2, said. Since the "I plant trees for carbon neutrality" public welfare activity was launched, he has planted 310 trees for the greening of the country through online donations.

now, the first two batches of more than 4500 mu of forest land built with raised funds have been planted in Daqing Oilfield, Changqing Oilfield, Xinjiang Oilfield and other places. The third batch of more than 1900 acres of forest land is about to start planting. The case of this activity was selected into the 2024 "Beautiful China, I am an Actor" Corporate Climate Action case Collection of the propaganda and Education Center of the Ministry of Ecology and Environment, and was publicized and displayed at the 29th Conference of the parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate change (COP29). It shows PetroChina's pioneering action and exemplary power in dealing with climate change.

"Wankou wellsite afforestation action" in full swing. As an advocate, volunteer and practitioner of the "Global Initiative for Planting Trillion Trees-China Action", PetroChina has planted more than 1.624 million trees in 8724 well sites and stations since the launch of the "Wankou Well Site Afforestation Action" in April 2023, making continuous efforts to realize the vision of "bringing nature back to the well site and returning the well site to nature.

carbon sink forests and carbon neutral forests has been vigorously promoted. On the basis of completing the construction of PetroChina's first carbon neutral forest-Maanshan carbon neutral forest in Daqing Oilfield, Daqing Oilfield announced the completion of PetroChina's first 10,000 mu carbon neutral ecological park on the day of National Ecological Day 2024. At the same time, all units vigorously carry out the construction of carbon sequestration forests and carbon neutral forests through the combination of new construction and tending and renewal, as well as voluntary tree planting and engineering afforestation. By the end of 2024, a total of 22000 mu of carbon sink forest and carbon neutral forest will be built.

Protection of Biodiversity plays a Symphony of All Things and Harmony

In recent years, Daqing Oilfield has carried out ecological restoration with nature-based solutions (NbS), forming the ecological restoration experience of northeast wetland with "planting trees at high places, storing water at low places, and self-propagating reeds in the transition zone.

Guowu Lake, which used to be full of sewage and garbage, has become an independent contribution biodiversity conservation site. Its cases are included in the "Other Effective Regional Conservation Measures (OECMs) China Status Research Report" of the China Representative Office of the World Conservation Union (IUCN). It was officially released at the Asian Nature Conservation Forum held in September 2024 and released to the world on the IUCN official website.

In the past year, PetroChina has comprehensively promoted the construction of OECM, "four in one" systematic and large-scale development of biodiversity protection, and promoted the group company to achieve synergy between climate change and biodiversity protection.

released the second batch of independent contribution biodiversity conservation areas. On August 15, 2024, PetroChina announced the establishment of the second batch of 7 independent contribution biodiversity conservation areas. Up to now, PetroChina has set up a total of 10 OECMs across the country, covering an area of 4018.8 hectares, becoming the world's first internationally renowned company to successfully carry out OECM practices.

Among them, Changqing Oilfield Sulige Gas Field Su 6 Area Independent Contribution Biodiversity Conservation Site was selected as the first batch of "OECMs China Potential Cases", becoming the only selected case of central enterprises. In this reserve, the fourth gas production plant of Changqing Oilfield has carefully arranged "new homes" for more than 110 Hegelan seedlings and 100 bird nests on adult Hegelan trees, providing a natural habitat for rare birds in the reserve.

. In 2024, PetroChina will establish five green shared huts in Daqing Oilfield, Tarim Oilfield and other units to comprehensively carry out popular science education on biodiversity conservation. Wu Xinbing, head of the green sharing hut of "Wenfeng Luyuan" of Hainan Company for natural gas sales, said that he would continue to convey the concept of green life to the public and turn the green sharing hut into an "ecological post" that connects people and nature and gathers the environmental protection strength of enterprises ".

Integrated Biodiversity Monitoring Project (Phase I) was completed and launched. In the past year, PetroChina has actively built a comprehensive biodiversity protection monitoring network system of the group company, and the comprehensive biodiversity monitoring project (phase I) jointly built by Huawei has been completed and put on line. At present, PetroChina has set up a total of 8 monitoring points in three protected areas of Daqing Oilfield and Huabei Oilfield, realizing 24-hour on-site animal video collection and image return, as well as multi-dimensional analysis and dynamic visual display of the collected data.

the establishment of a volunteer team for biodiversity conservation. In 2024, PetroChina set up nine volunteer service teams of 135 people in Daqing Oilfield, Changqing Oilfield, Tarim Oilfield and Hainan Company for Natural Gas Sales to assume the duties of commentators for green shared huts and inspectors for OECMs. "I want to do my part for 'green' and add more beautiful colors to the yellow desert." As a volunteer, Zhang Xiyue, an assistant equipment engineer in the Tazhong oil and gas production management area of Tarim Oilfield, said with a smile.

does not live up to the green water and green mountains to show the green ecological picture

in the "Millennium Xiulin" in xiong'an new area, around the 71-68x well group of the second oil production plant in North China Oilfield, more than 180 small trees are swaying gently in the breeze, and the young branches and green leaves are full of vitality. By the end of the 14th Five-Year Plan, the green area of Huabei Oilfield is expected to reach 6 million square meters, injecting continuous vitality and vitality into this land.

from the abandoned and messy stinky ditches and mud ponds to the vibrant "ecological garden"; from the barren hills where "no grass grows on the ground, but the wind blows the stones to run" to the vast forest sea where the mountains are stacked and green all over the eyes ...... The road of high-quality development of China's oil greening industry is getting wider and wider, and an ecological picture of harmonious coexistence between man and nature is spreading out.

feel the "bird lodging pool tree" comfortable. In early spring, in the carbon neutral forest area of Junggar in Xinjiang Oilfield, the ice and snow are melting and the birds chirp. In the past, the Gobi desert, which used to be "no grass, no water, even birds can't fly", has completely changed its appearance. The vast forest of nearly 4000 mu has become a strong barrier between the oil city and the desert to prevent wind and fix sand. As the weather turned warmer, begonia fruits turned red on the branches of the fruit forest on the west side of Dushanzi Petrochemical Oil Refining Control Center. A large number of wild birds came to peck at them. Quack chickens took heavy steps to peck at the fruits and grass roots under the snow. People were willing to move when they approached. The good ecological environment was visible.

experience the artistic conception of "watching the clouds and rolling clouds. At the drilling site in the Fushan exploration area of the Southern Oilfield, rows of neat "kowtowing machines" can be seen everywhere with a touch of green, coconut wind and sea charm, blue sky and white clouds, green trees and grass, and the beautiful picture of the harmonious coexistence of oil fields and nature is on paper. On the shore of the Yellow River, Jincheng Lanzhou, northwest sales cadres and employees continue to green non-production areas such as oil depots, creating a landscape effect of "flowers in spring, shade in summer, fruit in autumn, and green in winter", and take practical actions to build green enterprises. "Plant".

appreciate the beauty of "all kinds of frost competing freely. At the foot of the Tianshan Mountains, the drilling team of Bohai Drilling encountered several wild foxes during the relocation and installation gap. They were playing and frolicking not far from the drilling team's operation site. The towering Tianshan Mountains, the smart little foxes and the drilling tower formed a wonderful and harmonious scene. On the banks of the Northern Bay, Chinese white dolphins chase and play, thousands of acres of oyster rows swing with the waves, and seagulls shuttle through the verdant mangroves. The population of Chinese white dolphins in the area where Guangxi Petrochemical, a national green factory, is located has increased by more than 200 compared with that before it was put into operation in 2010, truly realizing the regional development concept of "coexistence of large industry and Chinese white dolphins.

on the road of green development, the oil people have the harvest and growth of "spring breeze and green river south bank", and have accumulated the vision and strength to move forward. Sun and moon spring light gradually, Guanghua all things new. On the new journey, the wheels of high-quality development are racing, and the vitality of "Green PetroChina" is surging.
