Gansu: Chemical industry has become the first pillar industry in the province

Gansu, as the first industrial oilfield in New China, the first modern large-scale refinery, the birthplace of the first ethylene cracking unit and the cradle of China's petrochemical industry, has become an important petrochemical and energy base in China driven by the leading industry. Chemical industry has also become the first pillar industry in Gansu Province. Lanzhou Refinery is the first large-scale modern petroleum refining enterprise in China, which produces products badly needed by the state. After Lanzhou Chemical Industry Company was built and put into operation, it ended the history that China could not produce synthetic rubber and fertilizer in Northwest China. It also allowed China to produce qualified ethylene from petroleum hydrocarbons for the first time. At that time, there was a popular saying: Where there was petrochemical industry, there were Lanhua people. Over the past 70 years since the founding of New China, Gansu Province has formed 37 sub-industries, such as petroleum exploration and development, chemical fertilizer and pesticide development, new chemical materials and so on. It has a complete petroleum and chemical industry system, and has accumulated rich experience in scientific research and development, production construction and management. In recent years, Gansu Province regards strong industrial provinces as the main grasp of economic development, and clearly proposes that petroleum and chemical industries be the first pillar industries of economic development. Through the joint efforts of various departments and enterprises, Gansu Province's "first pillar" industry has developed steadily, and its industrial growth rate and efficiency have been greatly improved. During the Eleventh Five-Year Plan period, Gansu's energy and chemical industry has been developing at a faster pace, while its economic benefits have been increasing. Through the continuous deepening of reform, state-owned enterprises have shaken off their burdens and radiated new vitality and vitality. The strategy of merger, reorganization and introduction into Gansu has been effective, and the profits of provincial industrial enterprises have doubled since five years ago. A number of large enterprises and groups with strong market competitiveness have been nurtured, and the pillar industries such as petrochemical industry and energy industry have been further developed and strengthened. The annual processing capacity of crude oil in the province reaches 14.5 million tons, especially the construction of Lanzhou Petrochemical Ethylene Project, which marks the full implementation of the "1161" project proposed during the Tenth Five-Year Plan. By 2018, the number of regulatory petrochemical enterprises in Gansu Province had reached 215, accounting for 11.2% of the total industrial enterprises in the province; the total industrial output value of Gansu Province had reached 142.05 billion yuan, an increase of 16.2% over the same period of last year; and the industrial added value of Gansu Province had reached 60.257 billion yuan, an increase of 21.7% over the same period of last year, accounting for 34.93% of the total industrial added value of regulatory industrial enterprises in the province.

In 2018, Gansu Province produced 8.598 million tons of crude oil, an increase of 4% over the same period of last year; 230 million cubic meters of natural gas, an increase of 86.99% over the same period of last year; 14.4004 million tons of crude oil, a decrease of 0.1% over the same period of last year; 48.665 million tons of sulphuric acid (100%), an increase of 4.28% over the same period of last year; 64.39 million tons of ethylene, an increase of 0.61% over the same period of last year; synthetic ammonia, chemical pesticides (100 The output of finished rubber increased year on year. The main business income of the petroleum and chemical industries in the province reached 142.288 billion yuan, an increase of 16.98% over the same period of last year, and the total profit reached 7.444 billion yuan, an increase of 114.64% over the same period of last year.

From the perspective of the economic operation of the petrochemical industry in the whole province, the main business income has maintained rapid growth. In 2018, the main business income of Gansu petrochemical industry increased by 17.2% year-on-year; among them, the chemical industry increased by 7.6%, the refining industry increased by 14.5% and the oil and gas extraction industry increased by 36.8% year-on-year. The profit margin of the main business income is 5.23%, which is 2.38 percentage points higher than that of the previous year. The profit level of the industry is better. Professional efficiency has also continued to improve. Last year, the total profit of the whole industry increased by 82% over the same period of last year, of which the oil and gas extraction industry increased by 92.5% over the same period of last year. In addition, 16 natural gas, crude oil and refined oil pipelines have passed through Gansu Province, which has become one of the longest and densest provinces in China, thus driving the rapid development of local petrochemical industry. During the 13th Five-Year Plan period, Gansu will base itself on the development foundation of its petroleum and chemical industries, grasp the new development situation at home and abroad, seize the window period of structural adjustment, intensify the structural reform on the supply side, implement the Gansu Action Plan of "Made in China 2025" and the "Internet+" Action Plan, and focus on upgrading traditional products. Industry and foster new industries, guide the gathering of all kinds of resources in society, promote the transformation of industry from low-end to high-end, accelerate the construction of new industrial development pattern in innovation-driven, make the industrial structure of Gansu petrochemical industry more reasonable, the development mode significantly changed, and the industry benefits steadily increased. By 2020, the whole province will strive to achieve industrial added value of more than 100 billion yuan.

In the aspect of upgrading traditional industries, the whole province emphasizes the importance of optimizing the layout of major projects, improving the innovation ability of enterprises, improving the level of safety and environmental protection, and deepening international exchanges and cooperation. In terms of fostering and expanding new industries, it is emphasized that the new chemical materials industry will be emphasized, and the development of high-end new materials products will be accelerated. In the aspect of strengthening the development of new energy industry, Gansu proposes to focus on the development of new coal-based chemical energy and steadily develop new bio-based chemical energy. Speed up the improvement of clean industrial production technology of new coal-based chemical energy, and promote the leapfrog development of new coal-based chemical energy.
