How to strengthen the safety management of oil pipelines

1. Main factors affecting the safety of oil and gas fields and oil pipelines

Currently, the protection of oil and gas pipelines in Xinjiang is facing severe challenges. At present, the main factor affecting the safety of oil and gas fields and oil pipelines is that the total number of oil theft cases and well opening cases is still very large. Major cases of oil theft through drilling occur from time to time. While the economic losses are serious, the local oil refinery sites have repeatedly The fight continues, and the problem of illegal operation of small refineries in some places is still very prominent. The problem of seizure of oil wells and illegal oil extraction in a few places is also serious. In addition, while pipelines connect oil and gas resources and markets, they are also closely related to economic construction and urban and rural development. Conflicts between pipelines are becoming increasingly prominent, and the damage caused to pipelines by illegal occupation of pipelines and third-party construction continues to increase. In addition, the impact of pipelines on the surrounding environment during construction and operation cannot be ignored.

In order to ensure the safety of the pipeline itself and the surrounding safety, the "Law of the People's Republic of China on the Protection of Oil and Gas Pipelines" also imposes many restrictions on the use of land above the pipeline and the safe distance of adjacent facilities. It will undoubtedly affect farmers' land use and local project development, which has also caused some places and people to be less enthusiastic about pipeline protection.

2. Ways to strengthen the safety of oil and gas fields and oil and gas pipelines

In the safety protection of oil and gas fields and oil and gas pipelines, we must adhere to the principle of who is in charge and responsible and who is in charge of the territory. The safety of pipeline production shall be determined by Petroleum and pipeline companies are primarily responsible; local governments and relevant departments are primarily responsible for public order and safety along pipelines. Governments and relevant departments at all levels along the pipeline must establish responsibility systems at all levels to implement various tasks such as organization and leadership, supervision and management, publicity and education, and coordination services for pipeline protection. We must severely crack down on illegal and criminal activities such as vandalism, theft, and looting of pipeline facilities and oil and natural gas transported by pipelines in accordance with the law, and maintain public order in oil and gas pipeline production. It is necessary to promptly remove and rectify illegal occupation of oil and gas pipelines and eliminate hidden dangers to the safe operation of pipelines. It is necessary to further improve the joint meeting system and establish a long-term working mechanism of good mutual trust and cooperation between local governments and petroleum and pipeline enterprises. We must vigorously carry out publicity and education work for units and people in areas along oil and gas pipelines, and strive to create a strong atmosphere for the safety protection of oil and gas pipelines.

3. Specific measures to strengthen the safety of oil and gas fields and oil pipelines

(1) Strengthen safety inspections of oil and gas pipelines and pipelines, focusing on valves, pipeline welding points, and pressure vessels Check if there is any damage or leakage to prevent secondary accidents. We must stand at the overall and strategic level and clearly understand the special importance and urgency of doing a good job in safety protection of oil and gas pipelines. Effectively enhance the awareness of the overall situation, responsibility, and worry, and use greater determination, higher standards, stricter requirements, and stronger measures to do a good job in safety protection, so that oil-related illegal and criminal activities will be significantly reduced, and oil-related illegal and criminal activities will be significantly reduced. The situation in key areas with oil issues has significantly changed, ensuring the absolute safety of oil and gas pipelines, resolutely preventing oil-related cases, accidents and mass incidents with significant impact, and resolutely preventing oil-related violent and terrorist incidents.

(2) Timely investigate and remove illegal buildings that occupy oil and gas pipelines with serious hidden dangers, prevent the occurrence of new oil and gas pipeline problems that occupy pressure, and ensure that no major safety production accidents that affect pipeline operation occur. . With a strong sense of responsibility and professionalism, we must conscientiously do a good job in safety protection work to achieve practical results. It is necessary to protect the national economy and people's livelihood and achieve safety as the goal, and further strengthen the safety protection of oil and gas fields and oil and gas pipelines; it is necessary to further intensify enterprise-local cooperation, carry out in-depth construction of safe oil areas, and create a good environment for safe oil and gas production; it is necessary to pay close attention to team building, Build a high-quality, combat-ready security protection force to meet the current needs of security protection work. In particular, the safety protection work of oil and gas pipelines must be carried out throughout the entire process of construction and operation, starting from the planning and construction stages. Plan ahead, intervene in advance, and start work from the source.

(3) Focus on the implementation of key tasks. In accordance with the principle of territorial management, relevant villages and communities along pipeline facilities must, under the unified leadership of the local government, monitor various buildings (structures), projects and various types of projects that endanger the safety of pipeline facilities that are already within the safety protection scope of pipeline facilities. We must carefully clean up the illegal activities of illegally occupying oil and gas pipelines, digging sand and soil near oil and gas pipelines, illegal construction, and other illegal activities that endanger pipeline safety. We must resolutely investigate and deal with them in accordance with the law. It is necessary to urge oil and gas pipeline operating companies to strictly implement their main responsibilities for safety production.

First, it is necessary to strengthen the daily supervision, management and inspection of the safety of oil and gas pipelines, intensify the investigation of potential accident hazards, establish an account of the identified hidden dangers, and make timely rectifications; second, it is necessary to strengthen source management and strictly implement the safety facilities of construction projects. The "Three Simultaneities" system ensures safe production investment and effectively improves the intrinsic safety of oil and gas pipelines; third, it is necessary to strengthen the safety protection and daily supervision and management of oil and gas fields and oil and gas pipeline facilities and equipment, and ensure the regular maintenance of pipeline facilities and equipment. Inspect and maintain, and keep the installation of various safety signs and warning signs along the pipeline facilities complete and effective; fourth, pipeline facilities with early construction time and long operation time, pipelines with serious pressure occupancy and major hidden dangers must be comprehensively cleaned, inspected, Detect and evaluate to prevent accidents caused by leaks; fifth, we must formulate an emergency rescue plan for oil pipeline accidents to ensure that accidents can be controlled in a timely manner after they occur.

(4) Further revise and improve the emergency rescue plan for oil and gas pipeline accidents, strengthen pipeline accident rescue drills, and improve the safety prevention capabilities of enterprises, villages, and communities. Strengthen fire safety management: First, workers must improve fire safety awareness, eliminate all hidden dangers that may cause fires, strengthen the management of fire protection facilities and the training of operators on fire protection knowledge, and conduct fire drills from time to time to ensure the safety and effectiveness of fire protection facilities. Second, frequently check and test lightning protection and anti-static grounding devices to ensure their effectiveness. Operators must wear work clothes and rubber shoes when working on site. They are not allowed to wear acrylic clothing and nail shoes that are prone to static electricity. The flange joints must be connected with anti-static copper sheets. The third is to strictly control the source of fire. The fire safety department is on duty 24 hours a day and has full-time safety officers. Various fire signs are accurate. It is stipulated that workers are not allowed to carry tinder on their bodies. Cigarettes, lighters or matches on those who enter the port area must be deposited with the gate guard.

(5) Urge oil and gas pipeline enterprises to conscientiously implement the laws, regulations and standards on production safety, implement the main responsibilities for production safety, increase the investigation of potential accident hazards, increase investment in safety, and effectively improve the quality of production safety. Intrinsic safety of oil and gas pipelines. Do a good job in publicity and education. Relevant villages, communities, oil and gas fields and oil and gas pipeline operating companies along the pipeline facilities must do a good job in publicizing laws and regulations on the protection of natural gas pipeline facilities, publicize the dangers of the natural gas transportation process and the harm of pipeline facilities after damage through accident cases, and improve The people along the pipeline facilities have the safety awareness to protect the pipeline facilities, consciously maintain the safety of the pipeline facilities, and prevent oil and gas-related accidents and cases with major impact. At the same time, information submission work will be strengthened. Strengthen information sharing and notification and investigation between enterprises, localities and regions, unblock information channels, and improve rapid response mechanisms; all localities should immediately report local oil (gas) accidents.

(6) Strengthen the supervision of production safety, and investigate and deal with production safety accidents that occur during the production and operation of oil and gas pipeline enterprises in accordance with the law. Resolutely clean up and ban illegal "three small and one point" and parasitic factories. Party committees and governments at all levels should organize specialized forces to conduct a dragnet investigation of all kinds of parasitic factories and "three small points" that have encroached, stolen, looted, and encroached on oil and gas field materials, equipment, oil and gas, and electric power resources within their jurisdiction, and listed List, clarify responsibilities, eliminate all resistance, resolutely shut down and ban, illegal gains and machinery and equipment must be confiscated, and units and individuals who have committed crimes must be held accountable in accordance with the law. Vigorously strengthen internal security and protection in oil and gas fields and pipeline enterprises.
