In Panjin, why are people so proud when they say they are from the "oil field"?

In the 1960s, China’s geological exploration discovered that the Liaohe Wetland was rich in oil. In the 1970s, the Ministry of Petroleum sent Dagang 6041 to the Liaohe River for exploration and drilled the first well. It was discovered that the temperature around Xinglongtai in Panshan County was Hidden are large oil fields, and Shuguang, Huanxiling, Gaosheng, Ciyutuo, and Shenbei oil fields were discovered successively. The Ministry of Petroleum sent drilling teams from Daqing, Dagang, Xinjiang, and Jianghan oil fields and the Oil Industry Construction Company to the Liaohe River to fight, and Panjin City was established in 1984. Panjin is China's youngest new chemical city built on oil. Therefore, Panjin is very proud to say that it is an "oil field".

Why can’t you be proud anymore? I dedicate oil to the motherland. My fathers have fought for it and witnessed Panjin develop from a reed swamp to the current oil city. Even if the glory of the oil field is gone, he is still a proud child of Liaoning!

I am from Panjin, and I can explain to you why people in the oil field have a sense of pride. In fact, the main issue is income. For a front-line worker in the oil field, gray income is not counted, it is the salary and year-end bonus given by the unit. , one year's income can equal the income of non-ordinary oil field employees in about two years, which is the main reason why oil field people are proud.

Panjin City is an emerging city born from oil. The first leaders of the municipal party committee and municipal government were all leaders of Liaohe Oilfield. At that time (1984), the oilfield had an absolute advantage in terms of population and social output value contribution rate. ! So people in Panjin Oilfield are very proud!

Panjin was positioned as Nanyuan in the 1960s and 1970s. After the discovery of oil, first of all, the local transportation was gradually improved and developed. At the same time, it also promoted the local economy, and there were also three companies in the Bohai Bay. In the process of industrialization, Liaohe made great efforts in the supply of grain, oil, meat and eggs in the early 1970s. Meat was rationed for local citizens, but there was an extra supply for frontline oil workers. Of course, this Also thanks to the collusion and arrangements from superiors, the effects of large state-owned enterprises and local economies at that time had not yet appeared. Compared with local governments, the only thing that Petroleum was proud of was higher wages, and it was just an extra field allowance. It was only 18 yuan, but the working environment did not make the local government think highly of it. The outstanding point was that young front-line workers could not come to local young women. Those oily clothes had already scared away local young women. We were in the middle of the The young man is really speechless about this! It's just that after entering the 1980s, the country improved the living conditions of oil workers, such as being able to share apartments when they get married, which widened the gap with local governments. That is to say, there is a certain sense of pride at this level. With the progress of the country's overall economy, this The sense of pride has gradually become equal to that of the local area. With the current ups and downs of the international oil market, the three companies in the Bohai Bay are no longer in the spotlight. Even

: Our current retirement salary is already very shameful compared with the local level...

As a member of the oil industry, everyone should be proud and proud. When the country's economic development needed oil, oil workers developed the Daqing Oilfield despite extremely difficult living conditions, which basically solved the country's oil problem and emerged as a group of hard-working heroes like iron men. The oil performance has been affirmed by the Party Central Committee. The Panjin Liaohe Oilfield was discovered in 1970. Construction teams drawn from various oil fields were brought together to fight. The Liaohe Oilfield was developed in this commonly known as Nanda Pan saline-alkali land. The annual output increased from more than 6 million tons that year to 1 million tons per year. It became the third largest oil field in China at that time. It was the presence of oil and the chemical industry that arose with oil that laid the foundation for the establishment of Panjin. Panjin City was officially established in 1986 with the approval of the State Council. Therefore, in Panjin, people who mention that they are oil people will naturally feel proud. It’s not about how much money you make. Employees who have worked in second-line units in the oil field for more than 20 years now only receive a monthly salary of more than 1,000 to 2,000, which is not as much as employees in other companies. However, as long as you are an oil field employee, you will have a sense of pride from the bottom of your heart...

Jobs in the oil industry are characterized by stable income,

but the income is not necessarily high.

In the past, I was really proud to be an oil field person, but not now. Nowadays, when my relatives and friends hear the word "oil field", even if they don't say it out loud, the disdain in their eyes is still beyond words.

The coordinates are located in a border town in Dongying City. If you open the map and follow the Yellow River until it merges into Haikou, this is my hometown.

I am a second-generation oilfielder. My father left the army and came to the oilfield. I spent my elementary and middle school years in the oilfield’s own school. Thinking about it now, my childhood was probably the most glorious moment of the oil field. In the 1980s, the oil field had its own independent teaching system, independent hospital, medical insurance policy that was independent of the local government, and even its own public security system, the oil field's own public security office.

In the mid-to-late 1980s, people's living standards were generally very poor and material resources were scarce. Rare things like meat, eggs, and fish are not seen on the dining tables of ordinary people all year round. Only when guests come to the house can they make tooth sacrifices. After all, people were poor at that time, and they should be content with just a few dozen yuan to eat. As people in the oil field, we can pick up non-staple food at regular intervals from non-staple food stores every month. The key is that it is free. Although we don’t have enough to eat, looking at the envious eyes of local children, we still occasionally do some stuffing to fill our faces. Things about fat people.

In spring, we haven’t finished the meat, eggs and fish given out during the Chinese New Year. In fact, our parents are reluctant to eat them and always want to leave the good things to us as children. At that time, I also knew how precious meat was. I would not be willing to wipe off the grease stains on the corners of my mouth after a meal. I would go to school to show off in a low-key manner, "Hey, chicken drumsticks are here again. I am so tired of eating them every day." If at this time If you can pick out a few shreds of meat between your teeth, the scene will be even more perfect. Maybe this is the prototype of Versailles in the morning.

In the summer we will also have a large number of ice cream tickets and soda tickets. At this time, my father would carry his thick light green insulated lunch box and bring back ten or twenty ice creams from the work. In fact, looking back now, the sorbet at that time tasted very bad. Because it was made by a non-staple food processing factory inside the oil field, there was no way I could complain about how unpalatable it was. The so-called cream popsicles add a lot of starch to increase the crispy texture. If you eat it slowly, the surface of the sorbet will be covered with starch and taste like soaked newspapers, but with a free lunch, who cares about the taste.

The childhood memories end here. Let’s talk about the current oil fields.

In line with the general trend, oilfields are slowly merging with local governments. In special times, oilfield workers have been given special welfare benefits. The market economy has broken the iron rice bowl of the state-owned economy, and the unique benefits of the oilfields have slowly disappeared.

As people in the oil field, we also have to face high housing prices and the practical problems of choosing schools and employment for our children. In the 1980s and 1990s, this was an issue we would not consider. Compared with the rising prices, we A rock-solid salary, just like Sinopec’s stocks, will remain unchanged for ten years and always remember the original intention.

Economic status determines social status. Oil field people, are the wages you receive worthy of your pride?

First of all, the establishment of Panjin is closely related to the oil field. In 1984, the production of Liaohe Oilfield in Panjin area was booming, and it had the goal of becoming the third largest oil field. Therefore, Panjin City was also established under this circumstance.

I remember a time when the employees of Panjin’s Liaohe Oilfield had the highest income in Panjin. Their jobs were relatively stable and the labor was not very hard, so working in the oilfield was a very honorable thing.

The Panjin Oilfield has also experienced three generations, so people in Panjin will more or less have some relatives or family members working in the oilfield, and this sense of honor comes out, and the Liaohe Oilfield itself is a quasi-military The corporate culture shaped by this management model is a strong idea of ??individual heroism and a collective corporate honor concept, so they will be particularly proud when they say that they are from the oil field.

However, what we must face is that the current proportion of oil fields in Panjin has reached 25%. Although this proportion is not low, it is already a continuing downward trend. As the country attaches great importance to wetland protection, we I believe this number will reach 15 or lower, and now the income of Liaohe Oilfield is obviously not as good as that of civil servants and even business cadres. It may not even be able to catch up with companies like Bora, and it is becoming one of the many ordinary companies. If the oilfield workers are still there If oilfield managers remain steadfast and blindly engage in involution without crisis awareness, the company will become even weaker.

Therefore, oil field people still need to face the existing situation more clearly and clearly see the impact of natural gas, shale gas and new energy on the crude oil business, otherwise they will be eliminated by this era.

Where does the sense of pride come from? Nowadays, many people work in their spare time, and their income cannot keep up with the rise in prices. Pride That was twenty years ago. The corporate culture has long been thrown away, and there are only inspections, assessments, and assessments based on workload. The agency staff is bloated, and the annual salary of sitting in an office is no less than that of front-line workers. This is how the enterprise collapses.
