Chongqing, 18 Jan (CNBC) -- At the beginning of the New Year, this reporter went to the depths of the mountains at the junction of Beibei District and Yubei District of Chongqing City to visit the xiangguosi gas storage reservoir, the first underground gas storage depot in the southwest region.

As an important supporting project on the Zhongwei-Guiyang liaison line of the national natural gas pipeline network, in recent years, the Xiangguosi gas storage reservoir in the southwest oil and gas field has played the role of "voltage regulator" for the winter natural gas peak regulation and supply in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei and Sichuan-Chongqing regions. The two 150-kilometer natural gas pipelines connecting the Xiangguosi gas storage depot to the Zhonggui line and the Xiangguosi gas storage depot to the Sichuan-Chongqing pipeline network are the "lifeline" of the Xiangguosi gas storage reservoir to play the role of "voltage regulator"!
On January 17, the reporter followed several natural gas patrol masters, climbing high and walking low, crossing mountains and mountains, wading across the river, and personally feeling the pain and happiness of natural gas patrol managers.
I am most afraid of construction along the pipeline
Before dawn, the masters of the Xiangguo Temple Gas Storage Pipeline Patrol Class had already left the door early and embarked on the road of patrol management.

"Watch out for your feet!" While skillfully using his sickle to cut the weeds that stood in the way, Zeng Hongbo kept reminding reporters: "The mountain road is very difficult to walk, and there are no roads at all in many places." ”
Zeng Hongbo is a patrol manager in the pipeline patrol class of the Xiangguo Temple gas storage reservoir, responsible for the pipeline patrol of more than 20 kilometers of the Xiangqian line, 90% of the pipelines he is responsible for are laid in the deep mountains and old forests, and can only be patrolled on foot.

"Sometimes when the weather is bad, I come down on a trip, my clothes are soaked, and I eat the dry food I carry with me in the mountains at noon." Zeng Hongbo told reporters that the pipeline management of the Xiangguo Temple gas storage is relatively difficult, and the most important risk is from the third-party construction near the pipeline, geological disasters and land circulation, and the risk prevention and control of these three aspects has become the focus of his work.
Following Zeng Hongbo, the reporter and him climbed over this hill in Gouxiqiao Village, Wangjia Street, Yubei District, Chongqing City, and came to a construction site next to a pipeline, which is the Chongqing Rail Transit Line 15 under construction, which coincides with the natural gas pipeline of the Xiangqian Line. Zeng Hongbo carefully inspected the construction situation around the pipeline, repeatedly confirmed the safety status of the pipeline, reinforced the surrounding cordon, and repeatedly explained and instructed the construction person in charge of the site before turning away.
Almost every month walks a pair of broken shoes
Near Erping Town, Tongliang District, nearly 100 kilometers away from Gouxiqiao Village, Wangjia Street, Yubei District, pipeline ranger Liang Feng is wading through the Xiao'anxi River one foot deep and one foot shallow, patrolling the copper-phase natural gas pipeline that crosses the river.

"The pipeline I am responsible for patrolling is also more than 20 kilometers, there are more than 10 large and small crossings, and there are two crossings with the longest span, one is the Jialing River, and the other is this Xiao'an Creek, and I have to carefully inspect several key river crossing points every day."
Liang Feng told reporters that he has been patrolling the pipeline for 9 years, and he knows how many times the river has crossed, when the river rises and falls, and which stone to step on when crossing the river. However, it is the dry season, it is better to have a good time, in the summer the river rises, you have to walk a few kilometers to the upper reaches of the river to cross the bridge.
"You see, these shoes are going to go bad again, almost every month." Liang Feng smiled helplessly and shook his head, according to the regulations, he had to walk the more than 20 kilometers of pipeline he was responsible for once a week, because of the long-term walking on the mossy rocky beach and silt land, Liang Feng's shoes were soon cracked because of the bubble.
Liang Feng told reporters: "Most of the pipelines in the Xiangguo Temple gas storage are buried in the ground, and due to soil corrosion, environmental humidity and other factors, the anti-corrosion layer of the pipeline is easier to destroy." "Therefore, in addition to the daily safety inspection of the pipeline and the cleaning of debris, it is also necessary to regularly cathodic protection the pipeline, mainly for potential testing and checking the condition of buried pipelines."
Villagers, become the "eyes" of pipeline protection
"Rest assured, I told the people in the village, and when I found out something, I'll call you right away!" In the courtyard dam of Wu Xiaosi's family in Gouxiqiao Village, when Zhou Minmin, deputy squad leader of the pipeline patrol squad, and Zeng Hongbo were promoting pipeline protection knowledge to the villagers, Wu Xiaosi was very enthusiastic as a veteran.

Wu Xiaosi's home, just live near the pipeline, Zhou Minmin, Zeng Hongbo and Wu Xiaosi have established a very good relationship, in addition to patrolling, they sometimes help Wu Xiaosi and other villagers to do some farm work, the villagers and their relationship is very close, natural gas pipeline protection has become a common concern of everyone.
Civil air defense is an important measure for pipeline protection. For many years of pipeline patrol work, pipeline rangers such as Zhou Minmin, Zeng Hongbo and Liang Feng have formed a deep friendship with local villagers, who often help villagers carry heavy loads, do farm work, greet villagers on holidays, regularly publicize pipeline safety knowledge to villagers, and turn villagers around the pipeline into the "eyes" of pipeline protection.
In the 66 administrative villages of 22 streets (towns) through which the natural gas pipeline of the Xiangguosi gas storage depot passes, the villagers have actively cooperated in the pipeline protection work, and the pipeline inspectors have also grasped the information around the pipeline in a timely manner through the villagers, firmly controlling the safety of the pipeline, forming a natural gas pipeline protection network of "enterprise + local government + pipeline ranger + villagers along the line".
After drinking hot water at the villagers' homes, Zeng Hongbo and Liang Feng sorted out their tools and embarked on the next section of the pipeline patrol...
