The China-Kazakhstan oil pipeline officially began transporting crude oil to China on May 25, marking a historic milestone in energy cooperation between the two countries. At around 3:10 am Beijing Time, the first batch of crude oil arrived at the metering station in Alashankou, Xinjiang. This event marked the first time China successfully imported overseas crude oil via an international pipeline, enhancing its energy security and diversifying supply routes.
The pipeline is supplied with 50% of its crude oil from Kazakhstan’s Zhanazhaur and Aktobe fields, while the remaining 50% comes from Russian oil fields in the Caspian Sea region. On May 23 at 7:32 pm, the official opening of Valve No. 40 in the Kazakhstan-China pipeline completed the entire 962.2-kilometer system, signaling the start of commercial operations.
Yin Juntai, deputy general manager of China National Petroleum Exploration and Development Corporation, emphasized that the pipeline not only provides China with a secure and stable source of oil but also offers Kazakhstan and Russia access to a new, reliable market for their exports. Kappelkin, vice president of Kazakhstan’s oil and gas pipeline company, highlighted the project as a prime example of mutually beneficial cooperation between the two nations.
Construction of the Sino-Kazakhstan pipeline began in September 2004 and was completed in November 2005. It stretches from Atasu in western Kazakhstan to Alashankou in eastern China, with a designed annual capacity of 20 million tons. The joint project cost $700 million, with an initial target of transporting 10 million tons of oil during the first phase and scaling up to 20 million tons by 2010. Both Kazakhstan and Russia are responsible for supplying half of the oil each.
Additionally, the 252-kilometer pipeline connecting Alashankou to Dushanzi in Xinjiang has been fully integrated into the system, allowing full operation of the Sino-Kazakhstan pipeline. In Dushanzi, China is constructing a major refinery and ethylene plant with a total investment of 27.2 billion yuan, expected to be completed by 2008. This infrastructure development underscores China's growing role in regional energy integration and economic collaboration.
CNC Lathes
Automatic CNC lathe than ordinary machine tools in what is better?
First, the processing accuracy is constantly improving. Because the automatic CNC lathe is installed through the intelligent program to process the operation, so that the accuracy of the gatekeeper will be more rigorous, so that the quality and quality of processed products will have a significant improvement. Therefore, the process of promoting this in the market to bring the customer's choice is also more trustworthy.
Second, the applicable processing application scenarios will become more and more extensive. With a more prominent level of fully automatic technology, then in the different processing application scenarios can be affirmed. Therefore, when comparing, the performance advantages in all aspects will be more and more diversified, and the choice brought to the customer will be more assured. Only through the comparison of processing application scenarios, the advantages will be more prominent.
Third, the processing efficiency continues to improve, can be repeatedly processed many times, to ensure that the quality in all aspects will be higher and higher. This is also the fully automatic CNC lathe in the design of all should go to understand the aspects. As in the process of comparing ordinary machine tools, it is found that the technical performance in all aspects will be different, and the choice for customers will be different, which can be seen in the analysis of the technical advantages and characteristics.
