A strong project leads to a strong economy, and a thriving industry leads to a thriving county. 2026 is Dong’e’s “Year of Practical Work and Visible Results in Key Tasks.” The entire county is firmly establishing a clear orientation of “prioritizing projects and revitalizing the county through industry,” focusing efforts on accelerating the landing, construction, and commissioning of a batch of key projects in sectors such as big health, circular economy, and high-end manufacturing. As enterprises take root and grow rapidly, industrial chains are being connected and strengthened, gathering momentum. Starting today, Dong’a Media is launching the “Project as King, Industry to Revitalize the County” column, going into construction sites and delving into the front lines of projects to fully showcase the fervent efforts of the entire county in vigorously pursuing projects and promoting industries. With new breakthroughs in project construction, we strive to write a new chapter of high-quality development for “the roaring Great River, striving Dong’e.”
In the heat of July, at the industrial park in Gaoji Town, Dong’e County, the new project of Shandong Kehuan Petroleum Equipment Co., Ltd. with an annual output of 280,000 tons of high-alloy, extra-large, high-end castings and forgings is unfolding at full speed. Construction machinery is busy moving back and forth, and each construction team is performing its own duties and rushing to meet the schedule. Civil engineering pouring and foundation pre-embedding are proceeding in parallel, while factory building construction and equipment selection and preparation are being implemented simultaneously. The entire process is moving forward in an orderly manner according to the preset milestones, presenting a scene of bustling construction.
At a time when the construction project is accelerating and tackling key tasks, the company’s existing standardized production workshops are also full of vigor. The roar of machinery in the workshops is constant, multiple precision machining lines are operating at full capacity, and production tasks for domestic and overseas orders are being advanced in an orderly manner. Relying on its independent innovation and R&D strength, the company has completed the tackling of key core technologies for its flagship product, titanium alloy oil casing, which can adapt to various extreme oil and gas extraction conditions such as ultra-deep wells, ultra-high temperatures, ultra-high pressures, and high carbon dioxide corrosion. It fully meets the stringent industry standards for deep and complex oil and gas exploration and development, and has become an indispensable core supporting equipment for the exploration and extraction of deep oil and gas resources in China.
The Kehuan High-end Equipment Intelligent Manufacturing Industrial Park, with a total investment of 1.07 billion yuan, covers an area of 275 mu. It has successively introduced more than 220 sets of advanced equipment, such as intelligent production lines for finished drill pipe precision processing, and established a mature and stable large-scale production system. The third phase of the project is about to be completed and put into operation, placing it at the forefront of the country in the field of high-end titanium alloy materials. As a provincial-level “specialized, refined, distinctive, and innovative” enterprise, the company has always taken innovation as the core engine of its development. Its independently developed titanium alloy petroleum equipment has filled the weak links in the provincial high-end special pipe industry chain, bridged the gap in the industrialization of similar products in Shandong Province, and continuously driven the regional petroleum equipment manufacturing industry toward high-end and refined development.
According to the company head Zhao Xuewu: “Once the new project is fully implemented, the company estimates an annual output value of 3.5 billion yuan, generating over 100 million yuan in taxes and profits, while simultaneously creating more than 500 high-quality jobs, providing local residents with an excellent platform for local employment.” Once the project with an annual output of 280,000 tons of high-alloy, extra-large, high-end castings and forgings is fully completed and put into production, the upstream and downstream industrial chain layout of the enterprise will be further improved, production support shortcomings will be addressed, the foundation of the local high-end equipment manufacturing industry will become increasingly solid, and the overall technical level and market core competitiveness of the regional equipment manufacturing industry will also steadily rise.
