Acceptance passed! The geophysical exploration institute’s soil and water conservation monitoring efforts continue to support ecological and environmental protection.

On March 25, 2022, the project “Technical Services for Soil and Water Conservation Monitoring of 28 Platforms in the Changning Block (Well Area Ning209),” undertaken by the Institute of Geophysical Exploration, successfully passed the acceptance inspection conducted by Changning Natural Gas Development Co., Ltd. and received unanimous praise from the experts and participants attending the meeting.

Changning Block Monitoring Project Review Meeting

To ensure the smooth implementation of monitoring activities, the Institute of Geophysical Exploration has made thorough logistical arrangements in terms of personnel, funding, transportation, and other support resources. Before departure, extensive preparatory work was carried out to guarantee the seamless execution of the monitoring tasks. For each project, a dedicated monitoring team was established, tailored to its specific characteristics. In accordance with the requirements of the Soil and Water Conservation Monitoring Standards, work plans were formulated, soil and water conservation efforts were conducted, and monitoring reports were submitted.

Monitoring personnel are monitoring the specifications of on-site measures for the project.

The entire monitoring process primarily focuses on monitoring disturbed land conditions, material extraction, waste disposal, soil and water conservation measures, and soil erosion. During the monitoring, we employed equipment such as low-altitude drone aerial photography and distance measuring tools. We analyzed monitoring data—including the specifications, dimensions, quantities, prevention and control effectiveness, completion status, and operational conditions of on-site measures—and then compiled and summarized these findings to prepare the final report.

Monitoring personnel use drones for remote sensing monitoring.

Over the past nine years, the Water and Soil Conservation Design Department of the Geophysical Exploration Institute has completed more than 200 various types of deliverables, including over 160 reports on water and soil conservation, more than 30 reports on flood discharge feasibility studies, and over 10 reports on hydraulic engineering. All these reports have successfully passed expert reviews on the first attempt, earning an excellent reputation within the industry. At the same time, we have established strong, long-term cooperative relationships with our clients. Our stable partnerships have continuously brought us new projects. Currently, we are working on over 80 ongoing projects, including “Soil and Water Conservation Monitoring Services for the Great Wall Drilling Sichuan Shale Gas Project Platform,” “Amendment to the Soil and Water Conservation Plan for the National Livestock and Poultry Genetic Resources Jiulong Yak Conservation and Utilization & Slaughterhouse Base Project,” “Acceptance Inspection of Soil and Water Conservation for the First-Phase Infrastructure Construction of the WanTou Yak Industrial Park Project in Jiulong County, Sichuan Province,” “Consulting Service Contract for the Soil and Water Conservation Plan of the Chuanqing Shale Gas Development Capacity Expansion Project,” and “Acceptance Contract for Soil and Water Conservation Facilities of the Chuanqing Shale Gas Development Capacity Expansion Project.” We consistently adhere to a serious and responsible approach in preparing the highest-quality deliverables.

Currently, the Water and Soil Conservation Design Department is equipped with devices such as drones, automatic rain gauges, and distance meters to assist in monitoring activities. In the future, we will add more advanced new equipment. We will make even more rational use of modern science and technology, leveraging informationization to standardize water and soil conservation monitoring and achieve a more precise monitoring process.
