The Hunan Institute of Geophysical and Geochemical Exploration disclosed on a certain date that through innovative geological prospecting theories and long-term exploration, it has cumulatively discovered manganese ore resources of 100 million tons in the Qiyang-Lingling Basin, located in Yongzhou, Hunan Province. It is estimated that the manganese ore resources in the Shuibutou mining area could exceed 100 million tons, and the overall potential reserves of manganese ore in the Qiyang-Lingling Basin might reach over 100 million tons. The Shuibutou mining area in Yongzhou, Hunan Province, is currently conducting manganese ore exploration. Liao Fengchu, director of the Hunan Institute of Geophysical and Geochemical Exploration, introduced that manganese is a basic raw material for industries such as steel, new energy, and new materials. Currently, China requires thousands of tons of metallic manganese annually...

Reporter recently learned from China National Offshore Oil Corporation Tianjin Branch that the cumulative crude oil production at the South Pit-Oilfield South Thermal Recovery Pilot Zone, China's first offshore thermal recovery test area, has exceeded 10,000 tons. It is reported that as one of the earlier developed heavy oil fields in the Bohai region, the South Pit-Oilfield has a formation crude viscosity of up to millipascal seconds in its southern area, resulting in low productivity and recovery rates for conventional development. If thermal injection development is implemented solely in the southern area of the oilfield, heat loss issues are likely to occur due to factors such as deep oil burial and thin reservoirs, leading to poor thermal recovery effects. In order to promote the "mobility" of heavy oil...

On [date], HBIS released three iron concentrate product Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) for its Yan Shan Iron Mine, Si Jiaying Iron Mine, and Zhongguan Iron Mine on the China Iron and Steel Association platform. The release of these EPDs helps downstream enterprises obtain accurate environmental information about upstream iron ore materials, enabling green procurement, and supports HBIS in conducting environmental performance assessments throughout the product lifecycle, thereby constructing a green and low-carbon steel industry chain. As the core raw material for steel production, the green transformation of mines is not only an intrinsic requirement for the sustainable development of the industry but also a critical part of HBIS's strategic transformation. In the context of the "dual carbon" goals...

Recently, the industry standard for "Hot-rolled Wide Steel Strip for Oil and Gas Well Casing and Tubing," which was formulated under the leadership of HBIS Group Handan Iron & Steel Co., Ltd., has been officially implemented. This industry standard fills the gap in the field of hot-rolled wide steel strip and has been comprehensively evaluated to reach an internationally advanced level. Oil and gas well casings and tubing are classified by production processes into longitudinal resistance welded pipes and seamless pipes. Compared to seamless pipes, longitudinal resistance welded pipes offer advantages such as higher dimensional accuracy in wall thickness, better weld toughness, superior resistance to extrusion, easier quality control, and lower costs. In recent years, with the development of steel smelting and rolling technologies in China, as well as advancements in welding technology...
