On March 17, construction officially commenced on Daqing Refining & Chemical Company’s 100,000-ton/year polyacrylamide project. This initiative represents a key move by the company to align with the Group’s "biomanufacturing" special action plan and to establish itself as a "product giant" in the field of oilfield chemicals. It holds significant importance for ensuring national energy security, supporting the development of the "centennial oilfield," and driving regional economic growth.

The project entails the construction of a new 80,000-ton/year acrylamide unit and a 100,000-ton/year polyacrylamide unit, alongside an upgrade to the existing ammonium sulfate unit, increasing its capacity from 15,000 to 35,000 tons per year. With nearly three decades of experience in polyacrylamide production, Daqing Refining & Chemical possesses a solid technical and industrial foundation. The company has developed a diversified portfolio of over ten product models—including anionic and cationic types—featuring proprietary intellectual property. These products have successfully entered markets at major oilfields such as Dagang, Jidong, and Xinjiang, and have even expanded internationally into the Indonesian market. This project marks a concrete step toward leveraging the company's unique strengths, optimizing its industrial layout, and consolidating its leading position in the industry.

The project is reportedly scheduled for substantial completion by the end of this year. Once operational, Daqing Refining & Chemical’s polyacrylamide production capacity will surge to 250,000 tons per year. This expansion will result in a more comprehensive product range, creating a diversified production system that spans everything from basic enhanced oil recovery (EOR) agents to high-end, customized products, thereby fully meeting the varied needs of tertiary oil recovery operations.
