In the spring, Aksu Oilfield was full of vitality with green landscape complementing the bustling construction activity. Chairman Li and his delegation visited key project sites such as Aksu Zhongman Petroleum Production Base, the Kekeya surface construction site, and the Kekeya tubing plant. They conducted on-site inspections of project progress and held special symposiums, carefully listening to work reports from various units, identifying key difficulties, and proposing solutions and implementation measures.

For the next phase, Chairman Li urged all units to focus on their annual targets, accelerate project approval procedures, enhance material procurement and supply efficiency, scientifically optimize regional planning, and coordinate water, road, and supporting facility operations to continuously strengthen the production foundation. He emphasized deepening enterprise-local government cooperation and coordination mechanisms, strengthening multi-party communication to overcome project bottlenecks, and ensuring proactive planning, initiative, and closed-loop management. Strictly adhering to timelines, responsibilities must be clarified, measures refined, and key tasks completed as scheduled.

At the Wen‑7 Well station and Wenbei Central Processing Facility (CPF) of the Zhongman Aksu Oilfield, Chairman Li extended warm greetings to frontline employees, delivered wishes for International Workers' Day, and inquired about their work, daily life, and learning progress. He inspected oil production, equipment operation, station renovation, and digital intelligence construction.

With the Group in a critical stage of “Major Transformation, Major Adjustment, and Major Development,” all units must strictly maintain safety and production quality, efficiently complete tasks, and strengthen talent development by combining theoretical learning with on‑site practice, creating a positive atmosphere of learning and healthy competition. He encouraged young employees to study hard, take responsibility, hone their professional and English skills, grow into capable professionals, and play a greater role in overseas projects.
