Another major event in the standardization development of China's petroleum industry
Starting from 2021, PetroChina, relying on the Nibei Pipeline Project, has been invited to assist Niger and Benin in setting up an oil pipeline standard system, actively contributing to the standardization cooperation between China and Africa. The Nibei Pipeline Project, constructed by PetroChina Niger Company, spans across Niger and Benin with a total length of 1,950 kilometers and was fully put into operation in May this year, which is a model project for PetroChina to promote China-Africa cooperation and build the “Belt and Road” together.
With its mature concept and advanced technology in pipeline construction and operation, PetroChina has assisted Niger and Benin in establishing a national oil pipeline standardization system, which is of great significance in improving the efficiency of the pipeline project, controlling the cost of construction and operation, and reducing the technical and commercial risks due to the differences in standards, as well as further promoting the cooperation in China-Africa infrastructure and trade and investment.
The signing of China-Nepal and China-Beijing standardization cooperation agreement is another major event in the development of China's petroleum industry standardization after the signing of the intergovernmental standardization cooperation agreement between China and Turkmenistan in 2011. The relevant person in charge of PetroChina's Science and Technology Management Department said that PetroChina will continue to deepen the international economic and trade cooperation, continue to help China's standards to go to the international market, promote more standards in more countries, and better serve the high level of opening up and high quality of building the “One Belt, One Road”.
Up to now, PetroChina has a series of standards related to oilfield, pipeline and engineering construction, which are widely used in Asia, Africa and other countries and regions, providing strong support for the high-quality development of overseas business.
