Recently, Shougang Jingtang successfully completed the delivery of anti-acid pipeline steel for medium and heavy plates. After being processed into pipes by a renowned Indian pipe manufacturer, the steel was used in the largest gas field gas transmission project in Dubai. Anti-acid pipeline steel is primarily used in the manufacturing of oil and gas pipelines that transport special oil and natural gas rich in acidic media. These products have extremely high requirements for key performance indicators in resisting acidic gas corrosion, with strict requirements for inclusion content. The smelting and microstructure control are challenging, and the rolling process is fundamentally different from that of ordinary pipeline steel. Currently, only a few large steel enterprises in China have the capability to mass-produce the entire series.

On the date, at the Second Conference on Sustainable Ecological Development of Mineral Resource Supply Chains, China Mineral Resources Group and the China Iron and Steel Association jointly released the "Mineral Resource Supply Chain Sustainable Ecological Developer Initiative."

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...
