Realizing coordinated development of resource exploitation and environmental protection through environmentally friendly development strategies for shale oil
(Purpose and Significance)Qingcheng Oilfield is located within the Ecological Protection Zone of the Yellow River Basin.With the deepening advancement of the domestic shale oil revolution,Qingcheng shale oil has entered a stage of large-scale development.However,the extraction of shale oil resources inevitably impacts the environment,ecology,and resources.To resolve the contradiction between resource development and environmental protection,we studied ecological development strategies for Qingcheng shale oil,aimed at building an environmentally friendly and resource-efficient green oilfield,promoting green and low-carbon development,and achieving sustainable and high-quality shale oil exploitation.(Methods and Processes)Starting from aspects such as safeguarding national energy security,implementing the"dual carbon"development strategy,protecting the ecological environment,and improving development efficiency,this paper analyzes and studies the main contradictions between unconventional shale oil resource development and ecological protection.Corresponding development and protection strategies are formulated and applied in practical development.(Results and Phenomena)The environmentally friendly development strategy for Changqing shale oil has been formed,which promotes efficient shale oil resource development while protecting the natural ecological environment.The average annual growth rate of oil and gas production has reached 30%,and the annual growth rate of clean energy substitution has reached 5%.The largest shale oil development demonstration base in China has been established,achieving a green and low-carbon development transformation for Qingcheng Oilfield.(Conclusions and Recommendations)By implementing the environmentally friendly development strategy for Changqing shale oil,the scale exploration and development of shale oil resources have been accelerated,effectively supporting the production of Changqing Oilfield's shale oil to exceed 2 million tons.A guiding framework for the coordinated development of shale oil resource development and environmental protection has been established,providing insights for sustainable development strategic planning for similar domestic oilfields.
