About HSE We proactively advanced the establishment of our Health, Safety and
Environment (HSE) management system to enhance integrated HSE
management. In 2010, the Company spread the successful pilot experience
of the HSE system across the Company and mobilised all the expert
resources to offer guidance on HSE management system promotion. We
started training of 100 HSE consultants, continued improvement of the
HSE system, publicised policies such as Regulations on HAZOP Analysis,
and 31 HSE criteria were established or revised. On the basis of audit,
specialised audit and outsourced audit, the Company also activated the
HSE operation quality evaluation to enhance the sustainable improvement
mechanism for the HSE management system. Energy Conservation PetroChina regards it as a long-term strategic task to save energy
and reduce emissions. In 2010, the Company achieved significant results
in reduction of energy consumption and emissions through optimised
structural adjustment, key energysaving projects, enhanced energy saving
surveillance, deepening development of resource-efficient enterprises,
and improved utilisation of energy and water resources. In 2010,
PetroChina conserved energy equivalent to 1.73 million tons of standard
coal equivalent (TCE) and 28.65 million cubic metres of water, higher
than the targets set for the year. Clean Energy We strive to develop and produce cleaner product to provide consumers
with clean energy, support protection of natural environment and
environment friendly society construction.
Natural Gas：Natural gas is a high-quality, clean and efficient
energy. Promoting development and enhancing efficient supply of natural
gas are not only requirements presented by development of a low-carbon
economy and construction of an environmentally friendly society, but
also an important pathway for sustainable development ofthe Company.
Faced with rapidly rising market demand, the Company strengthened
coordination of production, transportation, sales and inventories and
optimized operation of pipeline networks, which ensured stable gas
supply to household consumers, public utilities and key industrial
users. Construction of key projects was advanced smoothly as planned.
Line B of the Central Asia-China Gas Pipeline started operation. The
Zhongwei-Huangpi section of the eastern section of the Second West-East
Gas Pipeline was completed and commissioned. The natural gas from
Central Asia helped ease the gas shortage in central China for the first
time. The Yulin-Liangxiang section of the Third Shaanxi-Beiiing
Gas Pipeline was commissioned, further safeguarding natural gas supply
in Beijing and the Bohai-Rim regions. Gas storage depots at Huabei and
Dagang completed construction. The capacity of natural gas supply and
peak shaving of PetroChina has further enhanced. In the year, we
supplied 63bcm of natural gas, representing an increase of 5.7% over
2009.
New Energies: In 2010, the Company continued to strengthen
development of CBM. The two large CBM fields in Qingshui and Edong had a
1.3bcm/a production capacity and produced 280 million cubic meters of
CBM in the year. PetroChina acquired Australian Arrow jointly with Shell
which marked a strategic entry by the Company in the overseas CBM
sector. We also pushed forward the development of shale gas.
Construction commenced at Changning and Zhaotong shale gas demonstration
areas. The agreement on joint assessment of Fushun-Yongchuan shale gas
was smoothly implemented.
Climate Change Climate change is a major global issue that has attracted the
attention of the international community. As a socially responsible
energy enterprise, PetroChina has put green development at a strategic
level and placed a high premium on controlling and reducing GHG
emissions to slow down climate change by taking active measures to
reduce and sequestrate carbon.
