Entering the New Era, technology, as the primary productive force, is changing work and life with unprecedented depth and breadth, fully empowering social development. Looking back at 2024, Gemstone Pipe Industry Technology has achieved brilliant results along the way. The world’s first CT130 ultra-deep continuous pipe has been successfully developed. The company’s independently developed downhole high-power electric heater has achieved milestone results in the SAGD electric heating pilot test in Karamay. The independently developed multi-energy coupling heating and heat storage system has entered trial operation in Xinjiang oil fields. The first multi-channel corrosion-resistant continuous pipe has been successfully shipped, the BJC-II type special threaded tubing has been successfully deployed downhole, and the first 7,000-meter quenched continuous pipe has been successfully rolled off the production line. The construction of the modern heavy steel pipe logistics and storage center is accelerating. All these achievements witness the company’s increasing technological strength and capabilities.
Innovational Wall-Thickness Spiral Conveyor Pipe
The Pipeline Company successfully trial-produced the country’s largest wall-thickness spiral conveyor pipe with a wall thickness of 28mm, filling a domestic gap. Xi’an Special Pipe Company completed the downhole application of SEW 125V steel-grade casing, filling a gap in the domestic high-strength and high-toughness welded casing technology. The Continuous Tubing Company’s first multi-channel corrosion-resistant continuous pipe laid the foundation for intelligent continuous tubing. Moving forward, the company needs to make more efforts to accelerate breakthroughs in a series of key core technologies and create a set of characteristic technological tools to strongly support the high-quality development of the company’s main business. Cultivating a fertile ground for talent growth. President Xi Jinping emphasized, “We must implement more active, more open, and more effective talent policies, accelerating the formation of an internationally competitive talent system.” In promoting high-quality development, the company has comprehensively advanced the “Talent Strong Enterprise” project, focusing on building a first-class team of high-tech and high-skill talents to achieve a fundamental improvement in technological innovation capabilities.
Over the past year, the Steel Pipe Research Institute has continued to deepen the Talent Strong Enterprise project, exploring flexible talent introduction mechanisms such as the “dual-hire system,” and developing and implementing the “High-Level Talent Employment Management Measures.” The company has fostered close cooperation with universities and research institutions to jointly carry out scientific research, tackle technological challenges, and collaboratively cultivate scientific and technological talents. Especially with the “Challenge the List” reform, the company has granted key scientific research personnel “authority to decide on technological routes,” “project team formation rights,” and “benefit-sharing rights,” integrating talents from multiple disciplines to further stimulate innovation and drive. Looking ahead, the company is committed to cultivating a large-scale, well-structured, high-quality, innovative talent team, maximizing the role of technical experts and professionals, creating opportunities for them to address production challenges, tackle project breakthroughs, and develop new technologies, and ensuring that those who are capable and effective emerge as leaders in the field.
Future Goals
Endless trials and tribulations, yet the strength remains unwavering, no matter the winds from the east, west, south, or north. Technological empowerment is the inevitable trend of the times and the essential path for enterprises to accelerate their achievement of high-level technological independence and self-reliance. Looking back at 2024, the achievements in the company’s technological advancements are both inspiring and uplifting. Looking ahead, the company will transform technological innovation into a powerful driving force for high-quality development. With a more proactive approach, it will embrace new challenges and opportunities. The company is poised to unite for the long term, ride the waves, and scale new heights.
