Chen Yuzui teaches although the general administration of safety and transport has been informed that the "7 16 Dalian pipeline fire and explosion accident" directly responsible for the two contractors, but for PetroChina should bear what responsibility, did not give recognition.  PetroChina has also carried out internal briefings in accordance with the "contractor incident".  In addition, the first financial daily reporter did not find the company at the address of one of the contractors involved in Tianjin Hui Shengda Petrochemical Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "FAI Shengda"), the business registration address and the company's website.  FAI Shing Tatsu Company in accordance with the previous two departments of the circular, the oil and fuel company was commissioned FAI Shengda is responsible for adding oil desulfurization agent operations.  This reporter obtains the information shows, Hui Shengda's registered capital is 8 million yuan, the business scope includes the crude oil desulfurization agent (stabilizer, pour depressant) and so on the chemical product production and the sale, the own machine equipment and the spare parts import and export as well as the PV product processing and so on.  Although Hui Shengda in the business sector registered address for "Dagang oil Field No. Second hospital original four factory liquefied gas station" (its official website is announced address is "Tianjin Dagang Oilfield No. Second Courtyard Street"), but when the reporter arrived in Dagang Oilfield No. Second, the local staff said they had not heard of "Hui Shengda" name. In late July, a number of work phones posted on the Internet by the Hui-sheng authority were opened by reporters, when a staff member of the company said that all the company's leaders had rushed to Dalian.  But lately, the phone has been in a state of no answer. Hui Shengda's current legal representative is Haijun, a rare media and network.  However, the information indicates that he participated in the training of independent directors of the 2007 Shanghai Stock Exchange. But Hui Shengda and PetroChina's affinity seems very early. The company has said on its website that its own crude oil desulfurizer has been one of the 2001-year technology projects in PetroChina.  And the founding time of FAI Shengda is 1999 years.  A local tanker contractor in Dagang oilfield, Mr. Dou told reporters, if there is no relationship between enterprises, individuals are not easy to deal with PetroChina. Mr. Dou said that he lived in the vicinity of the PetroChina plant for more than 20 years, but has been unable to establish contact with PetroChina, "I operate two tankers, mainly responsible for PetroChina's oil to Shandong and other fields." I tried to get in touch with PetroChina, but there was no way (to connect).  "PetroChina Bears secondary responsibility?" After the "7 16 Dalian pipeline fire and explosion accident", PetroChina opened a three-day working meeting on safety and environmental protection at the end of last month.  China Petroleum Group deputy general manager, party members Liao always dedicated to this incident was informed. Lio Yongyuan said: "Although the direct cause of the accident is due to the company in charge of desulfurization agent in the on-site operation caused by irregular pipe explosion fire, is a contractor accident, but also exposed to some units still exist in the management of the Territory does not implement, on-site supervision, responsibility is not in place, the management of operational licensing is not standardized, the operation process supervision is not implemented , safety and environmental risk awareness of weak and so on. "PetroChinaThe above statement is in line with the information communicated by the two departments.  However, PetroChina's responsibility is really only "on-site supervision of the responsibility is not in place"? Wang Ke, a lawyer at Beijing's surplus law firm, has been following the fire in the aftermath of the accident. He believes that although the desulfurization agent is operated by the contractor, PetroChina is the owner and the client, "I think PetroChina may assume joint responsibility for the determination of liability." "In fact, when the BP rig exploded, BP's CEO, Hayward, also said that the rig was leased by BP to the Swiss ocean Drilling company and that BP should not take full responsibility."  But since then both the US government and the relevant victims still believe that BP has a major responsibility to shirk. Another lawyer, who declined to be named, also said the construction plan should be approved by PetroChina or involved in the formulation. "In common sense, PetroChina has an unshirkable responsibility." "However, even if PetroChina's liability is identified, it is still very difficult for the aggrieved party to claim it."  The lawyer told reporters that China's current public interest litigation is not mature, fishermen, passing ships, tourism and other injured parties to the individual lawsuit is difficult to achieve success. In 2005, the court did not support the various civil lawsuits brought by the explosion of nitrobenzene distillation tower in the double benzene plant of Jilin Petrochemical Company in the Songhua River. Until January 24, 2006, the then Environmental Protection Administration of Jilin Petrochemical issued a 1 million Yuan ticket. In fact, this is the highest ticket the environmental department can make.  But this number is still far from compensating for the actual loss of the incident. "China can refer to some foreign practices. BP's drilling rig exploded in the US Gulf of Mexico after the U.S. government asked BP to pay 20 billion dollars to establish a compensation fund. This is actually the government's efforts to represent the interests of the masses. The lawyer suggested.
