Honeywell to integrate operations at China's largest gas field
 
霍尼韋爾為中國最大氣田提供整合運營

PHOENIX, Oct. 30, 2007 – Honeywell (NYSE:HON) announced an agreement with China Petroleum and Chemical Corporation (Sinopec) to automate and control operations at China's largest gas field. Honeywell will supply its Experion Process Knowledge System (PKS) R300 software, along with SCADA technology to streamline and manage the control data at the Puguang Gas Field in Sichuan Province.

菲尼克斯10月30日消息——霍尼韋爾宣布與中國石油化工股份有限公司達成一份協議，為后者中國最大的的氣田提供自動化和控制操作。霍尼韋爾講提供其Experion過程知識系統 (PKS)R300軟件，以及SCADA技術，以簡化和管理四川省普光氣田的控制數據。

The Puguang Gas Field was discovered in 2005 with 356 billion cubic meters of gas reserves and is expected to significantly impact the country's economy as China produces more of its own energy. The field is Sinopec’s first greenfield oil-and-gas project in upstream exploration. Sinopec, which is China’s largest refiner, initially plans to produce more than 4 billion cubic meters of natural gas per year at the field and double that amount by 2010.

該普光氣田發現于2005年，有3560億立方米的天然氣儲備，并預計隨著中國生產更多自己的能量，將極大地影響到中國的經濟發展。該氣田是中石化在上游勘探的第一個首建石油和天然氣項目。作為中國最大煉油廠的中石化，初期計劃該氣田每年生產40多億立方米的天然氣，到2010年的時候再翻一番。

“China's natural gas consumption is rapidly increasing and gas fields such as the Puguang Field are key to meeting this ever-growing demand,” said Yang Faping, Sinopec project manager for the Puguang Gas Field. “Honeywell's strong reputation in oil and gas and its ability to tightly integrate the supply chain for increased efficiency made it the perfect partner for this project.”

中石化普光氣田項目經理楊發平（音譯）表示：“中國的天然氣消費量正在迅速增加，和類似普光氣田這樣的氣田是滿足這個不斷增長需求的關鍵。 霍尼韋爾公司在石油和天然氣領域的良好聲譽，以及其為提高效率與供應鏈的緊密結合的能力，使得其成為這個項目的完美合作伙伴。”

The Experion software will automate the upstream processes at the Puguang Field, including the extraction of the gas reserves, desulphurization and transportation to the refining facility. Experion improves overall efficiency and safety by unifying critical subsystems throughout a processing facility, giving operators more meaningful information to make decisions. The technology also allows manufacturers to integrate non-Honeywell technology into a central point. This approach makes staff, processes and assets more effective, resulting in improved productivity and reduced operating costs.

該Experion軟件將自動化普光氣田的上游工序，包括天然氣儲量的提取，脫硫以及運輸到煉油設施。Experion通過將整個處理設施的關鍵子系統統一起來，給予操作人員多有意義的信息，以作決定，從而提高整體效率和安全性。該技術也使得制造商能夠將非霍尼韋爾技術整合到一個中心點。這種方法使員工、流程和資產更有效，從而提高生產力和降低經營成本。

“Because natural gas is a resource in high-demand, companies like Sinopec need technology that will help them turn that resource into business results as efficiently as possible,” said Thomas Liu, managing director of Honeywell Process Solutions Greater China. “Faster startup leads to faster results and Experion will give Sinopec operators the information they need to make the best decisions when controlling their processes.”

霍尼韋爾過程解決方案大中國區總經理Thomas Liu表示：“因為天然氣是一種高需求資源，如中石化這樣的公司需要將有助于他們盡可能高效率地把這一資源納入企業的技術。更快啟動導致更快的結果，Experion將給予中石化的操作人員提供了在其控制流程需要作出最好決定的時候，所需要的信息。”
