九丰能源拟出资投建煤制天然气项目

Core Viewpoint - Jiufeng Energy announced its plan to invest in the second phase of the Xinjiang Qinghua coal-to-natural gas demonstration project, in collaboration with Xinjiang Qinghua and Henan Silk Road, with a total investment of 23.033 billion yuan [1] Investment Details - The total investment for the project is 23.033 billion yuan, with Jiufeng Energy contributing no more than 3.455 billion yuan, which will grant it a 50% stake in the second phase, corresponding to an annual production of 2 billion cubic meters of natural gas [1] - The project is located in the Yili Kazakh Autonomous Prefecture of Xinjiang and has completed energy-saving assessments and is actively conducting environmental impact evaluations and safety reviews [1] Resource Consumption - The second phase is expected to consume 11.796 million tons of raw coal annually, primarily sourced from the Yining No. 2 and No. 7 mines, with an estimated annual water usage of approximately 22.316 million cubic meters [1] - Relevant water extraction permits have been obtained for the project [1] Infrastructure Development - Xinjiang Qinghua has completed a 43-kilometer gas pipeline from the coal-to-gas base to the national pipeline network, allowing the coal-to-natural gas to be fed into the main pipeline of the West-to-East Gas Transmission project [1] Strategic Implications - The implementation of this project will address Jiufeng Energy's shortfall in equity gas resources, creating a diversified upstream resource pool consisting of "equity gas + long-term contract gas + spot gas" [1] - The future core resources will be a combination of equity gas and long-term contract gas, significantly enhancing cost advantages and self-control capabilities [1]
