en.Wedoany.com Reported - The Xinjiang Oilfield 2×660 MW Coal-to-Power EPC Project, contracted by China Energy Engineering Group Northwest Electric Power Design Institute Co., Ltd., recently completed the positioning of the main transformers for Units 1 and 2, laying the foundation for subsequent electrical system installation and unit commissioning.
Located in Karamay City, Xinjiang, the project plans to construct two 660 MW high-efficiency ultra-supercritical boilers and steam turbine generator units, along with supporting facilities including 4,000 MW of new energy, a 1 million tons/year carbon capture device, and a 750 kV collection station. As the core supporting power source for the entire carbon capture integration project, upon operation, it will provide stable electricity for oilfield extraction and the continuous operation of the million-ton CCUS facility. Through deep peak shaving, it will also absorb 4,000 MW of local wind and solar resources, optimizing the energy supply structure in northern Xinjiang. The flue gas generated by the units serves as a stable carbon source for the CCUS project. After capture and purification, the carbon dioxide will be transported underground to the oilfield for enhanced oil recovery, boosting crude oil production and achieving resource-based sequestration and utilization. The supporting 750 kV collection station will strengthen the high-voltage power grid in northern Xinjiang, fill the gap in local large-capacity supporting power sources, and promote carbon reduction and emission reduction while ensuring regional energy supply.
This project will create a model for low-carbon and stable production in domestic old oilfields, providing a replicable and scalable practical template for the large-scale industrialization of CCUS in northwest China.
