During the Spring Festival, they stuck to their posts and interpreted a different "flavor of the New Year" with their attitude of "going to heaven and going to the sea below"

General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out at the 2024 Spring Festival group visit: "In the Year of the Dragon, I hope that the people across the country will inspire the spirit of the dragon and horse, forge ahead with the energy of a dragon soaring, a tiger leaping over the dragon's gate, and a fish leaping over the dragon's gate, to pioneer, innovate, work hard and contribute, and jointly write a new chapter in China's modernization drive. "During the Spring Festival, the builders of many major projects are working hard to ensure the progress of the projects, racing against time to promote project construction, and welcoming the New Year and starting a new journey with an attitude of hard work and hard work.

CCTV reporter Zhang Wei: Today is the fourth day of the Lunar New Year. I am now located in the hinterland of the Taklimakan Desert in Xinjiang. During the Spring Festival, more than 100 oil workers here continue to work. This country’s first Wanmike exploratory well has been replaced with a new The drilling depth has exceeded 9,900 meters, and the drilling depth is accelerating to 10,000 meters.

Lin Nan, Platform Manager of PetroChina Western Drilling 120001 Drilling Team: Now is the most strenuous time for the project, and it is spring again. This well is at a critical time again, so we must seize the time and race against time to drill it together. good.

Wang Ruirong, driller of China Petroleum Western Drilling Bazhou Branch: This year is more meaningful on the well, because every meter of footage is a new Asian record. I feel very proud to be involved in it.

Sprinting to 10,000 meters, prying open oil and gas channels from the thick rocks covered by tens of thousands of hectares of quicksand, the drill bit has to penetrate 13 sets of formations from top to bottom, overcome dozens of problems such as ultra-high temperature, ultra-high pressure, and formation collapse, and finally drill The depth will reach 11,100 meters, opening the oldest ultra-deep oil reservoir in the Tarim Basin.

On the eve of the Spring Festival in 2023, General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized when connecting with the Kela Gas Gathering Area, the first stop of the West-East Gas Pipeline of the Lunnan Oil and Gas Storage and Transportation Center of Tarim Oilfield Company, that “energy security is related to the overall economic and social development of our country and is one of the most important security issues. one".

To ensure national energy security, our country is constantly strengthening scientific and technological innovation and marching towards deep oil and gas exploration and development.

Wang Chunsheng, chief technical expert of PetroChina Tarim Oilfield: This well is the implementation of General Secretary Xi Jinping’s strategic move to march into the deep earth and firmly hold the energy job in his own hands. It shoulders the dual responsibilities of scientific exploration and oil and gas discovery, and will also drive the iterative upgrade of my country's deep resource exploration and development petroleum equipment.

This Spring Festival, not only major breakthroughs have been made in deep-sea development, but also a lot of good news has come from the deep-sea field. The cumulative gas production of the "Deep Sea No. 1" large gas field has exceeded 7 billion cubic meters. The builders still stick to their posts to ensure that the second phase of the project proceeds as scheduled.

In April 2022, General Secretary Xi Jinping connected with the "Deep Sea One" operating platform during an inspection in Hainan and emphasized: "We must promote marine science and technology to achieve high-level self-reliance and self-reliance, strengthen original and leading scientific and technological research, and firmly grasp equipment manufacturing. In our own hands, we will strive to use our own equipment to develop oil and gas resources, improve energy self-sufficiency, and ensure national energy security." At that time, Zhang Bao listened to the general secretary's instructions on the spot. After two years of hard work, he is now the leader of the process transformation work of "Deep Sea No. 1".

Zhang Bao, Production Supervisor of CNOOC's "Deep Sea No. 1" large gas field: In the past two years, we have continued to explore and practice in accordance with the requirements of the General Secretary. I have personally participated in more than ten major operations, filling the technical gaps in related domestic fields. In the new year, I will work with my team and continue to follow the general secretary’s guidance to fully accumulate technology for further advancement into the deep sea.

There are also many builders of major projects staying at their posts during the Spring Festival. In the past few days, my country's first newly developed deep-sea mining vehicle is undergoing preparations for a thousand-meter sea trial. This "magic weapon" is mainly used to mine deep-sea metal mineral resources and ensure the stable supply of my country's mineral resources.

Du Xinguang, a researcher at the 702nd Institute of China State Shipbuilding Corporation: What matters when it comes to sea trials is the window period, which waits for no one. During the Spring Festival, shifts are scheduled, and we must work overtime to complete this task and ensure that our country can be among the first batch to enter the commercial mining team.

In Hainan, Chang'e-6 is undergoing relevant tests at China's Wenchang Space Launch Site in preparation for launch in the first half of the year. This mission will be the first to break through the lunar retrograde orbit design and control technology. The detector will also have the ability to independently sample, ascend, and take off, which is more complex than any previous lunar exploration.

Chang'e-6 deep space project manager Zhang Yang: Now that Chang'e-6 has safely arrived at the launch site, it has entered a critical stage. During the Spring Festival, we must ensure that the detector is in good condition and every step is as planned to ensure quality.

During this Spring Festival, many workers used their perseverance and struggle to ensure the safe and orderly advancement of major national projects.
