HARBIN, Dec. 18 (Xinhua) — As of Dec. 16, over 5 billion cubic meters of natural gas have been pumped into and out of China's first underground gas storage facility (UGS) at the Daqing Oil Field in northeast China's Heilongjiang Province since it began operation 50 years ago.
The Lamadian UGS facility has been operating continuously for more than 18,000 days, exceeding the generally accepted service life of such facilities, which is set at 30 to 50 years, according to Daqing Oilfields.
Moreover, this UGS facility has become a record-breaker, operating for 50 years without any safety or environmental accidents.
Recently, a new stage of gas pumping began at the gas storage facility, which plans to extract 84 million cubic meters of gas to meet energy needs in Heilongjiang Province, a region known for its harsh winters.
To solve the problem of associated gas, which is released in large quantities during oil production, oil workers in Daqing built the Lamadian underground gas storage facility in 1975, which became the first such facility in China.
