Gas in Dazhou: rewriting energy cities and draining fate

Author: Party, Lucky Dazhou, located in the south of the great Bashan Red Chuan-shan revolutionary Base, in 2006 because Sinopec announced the discovery of the Puguang gas field and became famous-the gas field has become the third largest gas field after Ordos and Xinjiang Tarim Basin in China. However, as the Dazhou of energy, but because of the state's restrictions on the use of gas, so that the local government placed high hopes for the gas industry into an embarrassing situation (see this newspaper December 21, 2009 reported "gas in Dazhou Energy War: Local challenge the two giants of Central enterprises"). In the Dazhou of Sichuan-Chongqing Economic Cooperative economy, how to get out of the development predicament of Energy city?　　The reporter interviewed Dazhou, the deputy mayor of Huang Linping, who is in charge of natural gas chemical industry base and commission work. Seeking to change the bureau "China Business newspaper": Dazhou since the discovery of large-scale gas field, it started the construction of natural gas Chemical Industrial Park, the current development of the park construction?　　According to our interview, the current park has been built some enterprises have not put into production, this is due to the limitations of natural gas indicators?　　Huang Linping: Dazhou as an old revolutionary base, also located in the Bus hill, has long been an underdeveloped area, the industrial Foundation is very weak, coal and metallurgy accounted for a larger proportion. During the 25 period, the discovery of Puguang gas field has made us find new development opportunities. As a result, Dazhou actively serve the national energy strategy, promote and assist Sinopec to build "Sichuan Gas East" project (the current pipeline construction has been completed, will be gas); On the other hand, Dazhou seize the opportunity to develop natural gas chemical industry, to realize the transformation of natural gas in the local, this point the country also In the past two years through the West Expo and other channels to focus on investment, the current park construction is progressing smoothly, has included Hong Kong source of Chemical, Qilu Petrochemical, urn fu phosphorus sulfur, Huiyuan energy and other four-scale enterprises completed, will be put into production.　　After our efforts, these enterprises have access to gas indicators, but at present Puguang gas pipeline is still in the commissioning phase, not fully realize ventilation. In terms of the use of gas indicators, there is indeed a strict limit, because the national energy policy focuses on the protection of civil. To this end, our city in cooperation with the provincial departments have also been to the national Development and Reform Commission for Coordination, but also with PetroChina, Sinopec has made full communication, they also understand the desire for local development. At the same time, we also understand that PetroChina and Sinopec as enterprises, they also have their own different interests appeal.　　Therefore, to strive for the use of gas indicators in China's current system is very normal, we need to coordinate the solution. By doing a lot of work, the National Development and Reform Commission has agreed to the principle, will be based on the construction of our park project, the use of gas indicators for dynamic adjustment.　　Of course, the prerequisite is that the park enterprises must be approved by the relevant State departments.　　China Business Daily: In the current development process of natural gas, the state still according to the 1993 set of 1000 cubic meters to the local pay 15 yuan energy tax standard implementation, this standard for Dazhou means? Huang Linping: The state scientifically and rationally in energy strategyThe Division of labor layout is necessary, energy output must obey this overall situation, otherwise it becomes an independent kingdom.　　However, at present, the state's interest in energy resources is inadequate and the mechanism of compensation is imperfect. In energy development, we hope that the country can fully consider the development of local issues, such as the energy of the people's employment, local ecological development, local tax issues, and so on, such as Dazhou, such as the Western Energy city, only through development can solve the east-west imbalance,　　The contradiction between the energy output and the demands of different interests. Based on this, we expect the state to improve the existing compensation mechanisms, such as the energy tax levy, will be revised from the quantity to the price, rather than the use of old standards. After all, the economy is developing and energy prices are being reformed.　　In this respect, Sichuan Province, the relevant departments, the National Development and Reform Commission and so on several times to Dazhou research, hoping to solve this problem.　　To adapt to the "China Business newspaper": Under the current restrictions, Dazhou in the development of industry, what specific thinking strategy to solve the local development and national energy strategy of the reality of contradictions? Huang Linping: Dazhou Industry first is based on local resources to develop industry. Dazhou's resources first are natural gas, the second is coal, and the third is Bittern.　　We are in accordance with coal (carbon), electricity (power), Metallurgy (gold), chemical (work), build (wood) thinking in a comprehensive way, but the focus of the natural gas chemical industry bigger and stronger, while the natural gas chemical and coal chemical industry combined development. On the gas index, on the one hand, we will do our best to strive for more indicators to allow natural gas resources to be converted; On the other hand, we will take the path of recycling economy, extend the existing projects to the industrial chain, and make the limited natural gas index and resources, do fine, deep processing of the derivatives of natural gas, and increase their added value. For example, Dazhou Iron and Steel Group, which uses some natural gas and recycled waste gas, methanol, dimethyl ether, to achieve recycling, has now achieved technical research.　　Such a concept will be fully used in our city natural gas chemical industry. China Business Daily: Does Dazhou think that one day energy will dry up?　　How to achieve sustainable development, not to repeat the mistakes of some energy-type cities in China? Huang Linping: At present, the entire Dazhou proven natural gas reserves of 660 billion cubic meters, energy will be depleted, this is a textbook problem. Of course we will also think about whether one day will dry up, but 30 years later, or even 5 years later, it is difficult to judge what it would be like to develop. Therefore, we believe that with the progress of exploration technology, there will be new discoveries.　　For Dazhou, the key question now is how to seize the opportunity to develop. "Waterfront" Chongqing "China Business Newspaper": At present, Sichuan and Chongqing are striving to integrate the two economic zones into the national "Twelve-Five" development strategy, the Sichuan provincial government at the end of 2008 also put forward the "one axis one pole one block" ring belt development concept.　　Then, in the Sichuan-Chongqing division before the same old East Sichuan region Dazhou, now how to take the initiative to absorb the radiation of Chongqing metropolitan area, how to position themselves? Huang Linping: Sichuan ProvinceOut "one block", namely Sichuan ring Chongqing adjacent blocks, Dazhou was positioned as the bridgehead of Sichuan-Chongqing cooperation. As a two-class city in the area of heartland, we put forward the initiative to integrate into Chongqing economically, Chongqing as the "economic capital", relying on Chongqing, the metropolis, the big market to develop.　　Because, Chongqing and Dazhou have complementary things in the development of resources and industry. In industry, we put forward three ideas: first, the natural gas chemical industry and Chongqing to achieve dislocation development, can not engage in vicious competition, that is, the main development of our advantage characteristics of the industry, the second is to do the supporting development, Dazhou to serve Chongqing's big industry, for its development as a good supporting role, Chongqing lack of what, demand what, Dazhou on the development and production of what,　　Develop complementary advantages to avoid industrial convergence; third, to undertake development, to undertake the Chongqing urban areas need to be transferred out of some policy-oriented and environmental requirements of the industry, such as pharmaceutical chemicals, auto accessories, etc., in Dazhou to form a new industrial cluster.　　"China Business newspaper": In the process of integration into the Chongqing Metropolitan Circle will encounter a lot of difficulties, Dazhou how to break through? Huang Linping: The first thing we solve is the traffic problem, get through to the city surrounding Chongqing and the channel. At present, Dazhou to Shaanxi Ankang Expressway in 2009 has begun, Tatsu (state) million (state) high-speed has also begun, the next step Nanchong to Dazhou, Dazhu County to Chongqing Liangping Expressway will also be fully started, making Dazhou and Chongqing junction of the district city and county organic links. Add Dazhou to Chongqing, Chengdu Railway system, Dazhou airport, so that Dazhou can seize the opportunity in the development.　　In addition, we are to formulate corresponding policies to attract the large-scale transfer of Chongqing industry.　　Link one pole, one axis, one block: One pole refers to the growth pole of Chengdu metropolitan area, including Chengdu as the core of an hour metropolitan circle, one axis refers to the two poles of the economic development axis, a block that is Sichuan ring Chongqing adjacent blocks. Data Dazhou, located in eastern Sichuan province, governs 5 Counties 1 District 1 city, the territory 16,600 square kilometers, the total population 6.5 million, 2008 gross domestic product amounted to 60.399 billion yuan, grew 14.1% compared to the previous year.
