On April 28, 2023, the Kickoff Conference of Research Center for Geothermal Resource Exploration, Development, and Comprehensive Utilization of Tianfu Yongxing Laboratory (hereinafter referred to as “the Laboratory”) was successfully held. Numerous guests from the academia and industry attended the kickoff conference, such as Luo Pingya, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering; Duo Ji, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering and a committee member of the Expert Committee of the Laboratory; Hu Wenrui, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering; Liu Wanhua, Deputy Director of the Laboratory; and Liu Qingyou, Director of the Research Center for Geothermal Resource Exploration, Development, and Comprehensive Utilization of the Laboratory, and President of Chengdu University of Technology. This conference was presided over by Xu Qiang, Deputy President of Chengdu University of Technology.
At this conference, Liu Wanhua, Deputy Director of the Laboratory, and Liu Qingyou, Director of the Research Center for Geothermal Resource Exploration, Development, and Comprehensive Utilization of the Laboratory, and President of Chengdu University of Technology, gave speeches respectively. On behalf the Laboratory, Deputy Director Liu Wanhua extended a warm welcome to all the guests for their coming, and expressed sincere congratulations to the launch of the Research Center for Geothermal Resource Exploration, Development, and Comprehensive Utilization. She said that the Laboratory attached great importance to the planning and development of the Research Center and would vigorously support the construction of the Research Center for Geothermal Resource Exploration, Development, and Comprehensive Utilization. President Liu Qingyou pointed out that the Research Center would base itself on the development needs of geothermal industry in China and Sichuan Province, aim at direction, and play its roles. Under the goal of ‘a rapid technological R&D, a smooth achievement transformation, and an orderly service guarantee’, the Center will fully exert the role of leading and key technology and the cultivation of high-end talents in the industry, facilitate the output of a batch of original, symbolic, and pioneering achievements, support the rapid development of geothermal industry in our province, and devote scientific and technological power to assisting in building Sichuan into a Clean Energy Demonstration Province, serving China’s “carbon peaking and carbon neutrality” goals, and booming the green transformation of economic and social development.
Subsequently, Wang Xiaoguang, a researcher of the Research Center for Geothermal Resource Exploration, Development, and Comprehensive Utilization of the Laboratory, introduced the Research Center for Geothermal Resource Exploration, Development, and Comprehensive Utilization from several aspects including construction background, central orientation, research tasks, objectives and expected results. He mentioned that the Research Center for Geothermal Resource Exploration, Development, and Comprehensive Utilization focused on the exploration, development, and comprehensive utilization of hydrothermal and associated resources in Sichuan Basin, researched and developed the technology and equipment for efficient development and utilization of associated geothermal resources of abandoned wells in oil and gas fields, and advanced the development of geothermal industry in Sichuan Province for acting as a model for the whole country.
During this kickoff conference, attending academicians and experts communicated around the theme of the geothermal resources exploration, development, and comprehensive utilization, as they believed that the geothermal resources exploration, development, and comprehensive utilization was a vital step to fulfill the “carbon peaking and carbon neutrality” goals. Serving as an important platform on technological innovation, talent cultivation, technical exchanges, and industrial promotion, the Research Center for Geothermal Resource Exploration, Development, and Comprehensive Utilization of the Laboratory will boost the progress of the technology of the geothermal resources exploration, development, and comprehensive utilization and spur the development of the geothermal industry.
At last, under the joint witness of Luo Pingya, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering; Duo Ji, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering and a committee member of the Expert Committee of the Laboratory; and Hu Wenrui, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, as well as other attending guests, Liu Wanhua, Deputy Director of the Laboratory, and Liu Qingyou, Director of the Research Center for Geothermal Resource Exploration, Development, and Comprehensive Utilization of the Laboratory, unveiled for the launch of the Research Center for Geothermal Resource Exploration, Development, and Comprehensive Utilization.
The Research Center for Geothermal Resource Exploration, Development, and Comprehensive Utilization belongs to the Research Department of Carbon Sink and Geological Carbon Sequestration, led by the Professor Liu Qingyou, President of Chengdu University of Technology, and has attracted various units such as PetroChina Southwest Oil & Gasfield Company, Sinopec Xinan Oil and Gas Field Branch, and Dongfang Electric Dongfang Boiler Co., Ltd. to join in the construction. Next, the Research Center will gather all forces to give full play to the fundamental role of the Research Center, which centers on tackling scientific and technological difficulties including geothermal resource exploration, evaluation, and target area selection, the key technology of geothermal resource development, the technology of the comprehensive utilization of medium and low temperature geothermal resources, and the technology of the efficient extraction of associated resources in the hot water layer, facilitates the development of geothermal and associated resource industries in Sichuan Province in aspects of technological innovation, talent cultivation, achievement transformation, and industrial development, and supports the achievement of “carbon peaking and carbon neutrality” goals.
