Research On The Development And Construction Of Shengli Oilfield (1961-1992)

At the beginning of the founding of the People’s Republic of China,the petroleum industry was struggling and was in the weakest link of the national economy.Faced with the contradiction between the urgent need for oil for industrialization and the insufficiency of oil production,the exploration and development of large oil fields is urgent.In the process of oilfield development and construction,the party and the state have given full play to the advantages of socialist concentration of power to do major events,and led the oil industry team.Under the premise of analyzing geological data,doing a good job in general survey and exploration,and fully possessing underground oil reservoir data,"Developing while building" is the guideline,and the exploration and development of petroleum resources are deployed in the form of a big battle organization.From the central to the local governments,they have tried their best to resolve the worries of the oil team,"focusing on production with one hand,and living with the other hand",vigorously supporting the supply of materials,organizing the production of agricultural and sideline industries for workers and their families,and promoting the development of Shengli Oilfield.With the gradual expansion of the construction scale of Shengli Oilfield,a prefecture-level city centered on the oilfield development strategy-Dongying has been established at the location of the oilfield.In the process of resource development relying on local unique natural resources,many emerging industrial and mining cities such as Dongying have emerged and developed,embodying the concept of "production and construction city".This development process takes natural resources as a prerequisite for urban development,and the efficient intervention under the national planned economic system reflects the national governance style with the characteristics of the times.In the period of planned economy and reform and opening up,in accordance with the changes in national strategy,the relationship between oil fields and local governments has been adjusted accordingly.The formation and development of Shengli Oilfield is an oilfield community created by the country in an era of shortage of materials.In order to solve the problem of energy shortage,use institutional advantages,political means,and technical forces to mobilize various social resources,supplemented by complete employee benefits.Shengli Oilfield and Dongying City,which grew up relying on the oilfield,are representatives of national resource development and local development.Shengli Oilfield has achieved a series of results from the development to the completion of the oil base,which has had a profound impact on China’s oil industry development,industrialization construction and the development of the national economy.From this perspective,the formation of oilfield society is the product of the times,and the development of oilfields has also shaped the new characteristics of this era.However,there are also some problems,such as low work efficiency due to poor ideological work and technical level,and conflicts between Shengli Oilfield and Dongying,which are dependent on land occupation,pollution,and distribution.At the same time,during the planned economy period,some of the advantages that the state played an important role in resource development and construction will also become factors that restrict the development of enterprises and localities during the reform and opening up period.For example,policy-based welfare benefits caused redundant staff and excessive social cost burdens for state-owned enterprises.The rights and responsibilities between the oilfields are not right and so on.Shengli Oilfield is an important petroleum industry base in China,and it is a microcosm of the development and construction of petroleum resources organized and led by the Communist Party of China.The development from a petroleum factory to a heavy industrial base also reflects the economic construction process of the People’s Republic of China.The development and construction of Shengli Oilfield has promoted the process of national industrialization,and the country’s industrialization has also provided corresponding technical and equipment support for oilfield development.Summarizing the experience and lessons in the development and construction of Shengli Oilfield is also to provide historical reference for the new round of oilfield school integration between Shengli Oilfield and Dongying City in the new era and the gradual realization of state-owned enterprise reforms,including the correct use of the unique advantages of the Communist Party of China and socialist concentration of power.The advantages of major events,balancing the relationship between oilfield development and local development,strengthening publicity and education activities between oilfields,and in-depth exploration of new modes of oilfield integration starting with the establishment of a benefit sharing and compensation mechanism for resource locations.
