March 1993: Retired.
In 1993-1998, he was appointed as an invited expert of the Consulting Center of China National Petroleum Corporation. In April 1937, he graduated from the Department of Industrial Chemistry of Nanjing Jinling University (the predecessor of Nanjing University) with a Bachelor of Science degree, and was elected as a member of the Fidelity and Fidelity Society (the Golden Key Award) for his excellent academic performance, and joined the workforce in July as a trainee of the Fuel Research Laboratory of the Central Geological Survey of Nanjing, working as a duty officer of the experimental plant of refining light oil from vegetable oil. Soon after the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, the Fuel Research Laboratory was moved to Hankou and Changsha, but at that time, all the oils used in Nanjing's public **** automobiles depended on the experimental plant, and he and another duty officer insisted on taking turns on duty in the danger of bombing by the enemy planes and worked day and night until Japanese invasion forces approached the outskirts of Nanjing, and then hastily withdrew to Changsha. 1938 spring, because of the almost total elimination of imported oils, the Resource Committee sent Jin Khaiying, director of the Fuel Research Laboratory, to prepare for the establishment of Chongqing Vegetable Oil Refining Plant. In the spring of 1938, because the import of oil is almost cut off, the resource committee sent the director of the fuel research office Jin Kaiying to prepare for the construction of Chongqing Vegetable Oil Refinery Light Oil Plant (later renamed Power Oil Plant), Zou Ming was sent to work in the site, was promoted to the head of the class. 1941 March Resources Committee Gansu Oil Mining Bureau was formally established, industrial industrial and mining industrialist Sun Yueqi as general manager, Zou Ming was transferred to the Bureau of the refinery, head of the materials section. He was y inspired by Sun Yueqi's idea of "saving the country through industry", and devoted himself to the petroleum industry, and did his best to make suggestions for the development of Yumen oil mine. 1941 winter, a set of cracked oil refining device ordered from the U.S.A. was damaged by the bombing of enemy planes on the way of transportation, and Zou Ming and other people did everything possible to rush to make the refining cauldron on the mainland in the extremely difficult conditions at that time, and transported it to the mine for installation and use, which made it possible to make the refinery in 1942. Under the extremely difficult conditions at that time, Zou Ming tried every means to make the oil refining retort in the mainland and installed it in the mine, which increased the gasoline output in 1942 by 9 times compared with that of the previous year. at the end of 1942, Zou Ming was sent to the United States to be the representative of Gansu oil mine in the United States. At this time, because of the international transportation of civilian goods is almost interrupted, Yumen oil mine imported equipment needed to emergency, Zou Ming find ways to successfully through the "Lend-Lease Act" for the Yumen oil mine to provide emergency supplies and equipment, to ensure that the oil mine production and construction of the smooth progress of the project.
After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War in August 1945, Zou Ming returned to China and went to Shanghai to take over the oil storage facilities built by the Japanese oil company in Shanghai Gaoqiao during the Japanese invasion of China, and then he organized the personnel to take over the oil storage facilities set up by the Japanese company in Nanjing, Hankou, Guangzhou, Qingdao, Tianjin and other places. Later, he participated in the preparation for the establishment of PetroChina Company Limited and planned to utilize the oil storage facilities along the coast and rivers taken over to carry out the marketing business of imported refined oil products, and to use the profits gained for the restoration and construction of oil refineries and oilfields. To this end, he was transferred to be the director of the sales office of the head office and the manager of the Shanghai sales office, and in August 1948, he became the assistant manager of the head office, and in September, he was also the manager of the Ganqing Branch (Yumen Oil Mine). Soon after his arrival at the mine, under the People's Liberation Army's overbearing offensive, the regime of the Nanjing National Government was in danger, and the Kuomintang reactionaries entrenched in the Northwest were trying to sabotage the oil mines on the occasion of their escape. Driven by the patriotic love of the mine and the petroleum cause, Zou Ming risked his life to lead the entire mine staff to protect the mine, and after a hard and tortuous struggle, he finally thwarted the conspiracy of the reactionaries, and returned the Yumen oil mine intact to the hands of the people, and was praised by the Northwest Military Commission of the People's Liberation Army at the time.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Zou Ming enthusiastically devoted himself to the construction of new China.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Zou Ming enthusiastically devoted himself to the construction of new China. At that time, tens of thousands of soldiers and horses from all walks of life fought in more than 800 square kilometers of prairie, exploration, development, oil field construction go hand in hand, the need for equipment and equipment varieties, large quantities, the time is urgent, due to the careful organization, prepare for the rainy day, timely scheduling, working day and night, to ensure that the war is carried out properly, the production and export of nearly one million tons of crude oil that year.
Early in 1962, Zou Ming became the deputy commander of the Daqing Oil Refining Command, in charge of the supply of materials and equipment required for the construction of the refinery. As a result of all the effective measures taken, the first phase of the project was completed and put into production ahead of schedule in only 18 months. 1964, he presided over the newly established supporting office of the Ministry of Petroleum, self-reliance, and timely solution to the five new refining units and then known as China's oil refining industry, "the five golden flowers" (held in 1962 by the Ministry of Petroleum Industry), the refining work conference, catalytic reforming, catalytic reforming, and the refining work conference. Refining work conference, catalytic reforming, delayed coking, urea dewaxing and related catalysts and additives, etc., known as the refining industry, "five golden flowers") in the construction of equipment, fittings, valves, instrumentation and other ancillary issues, accelerating the petroleum products, "three years to pass the five-year foothold in domestic "The early realization of the goal.
"Cultural Revolution", Zou Ming suffered a great impact, was detained for seven years, the final review concluded: "This is based on a false confession of a wrong case, should be vindicated.
In 1978, Zou Ming resumed work and was appointed as a consultant to the Foreign Affairs Bureau of the Ministry of Petroleum Industry (in 1982, he was reappointed as a consultant to the China National Offshore Oil Corporation). He recognized the overall situation, taking into account the overall situation, looking forward, with all the energy and enthusiasm into the new work of foreign cooperation of marine petroleum. He conducted a lot of research and studies on international oil exploration and development contracts and oil economy, introduced and established economic evaluation mechanisms, participated in the formulation of various foreign cooperation documents, bid evaluation and contract negotiation, and trained cadres. He also vigorously defended China's policy of opening up to the outside world for offshore oil through economic analysis at the Bohai Sea Petroleum Cooperation Seminar. He retired in 1993 at the age of 80.
In addition to the above positions, Zou Ming was also a member of the Sixth and Seventh National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC), a member of the Science and Technology Committee of the Ministry of Petroleum Industry and its deputy director (1982-1987), a senior consultant of the Ministry of Energy (1990-1992), and an invited expert of the Consulting Center of China National Petroleum Corporation (1993-1998). In 1990, he was one of the first group of people enjoying special government allowances, and from 1980 to 1985, he participated in a delegation of offshore oil companies to visit and exchange information in Britain, Norway, Egypt, the United States and France, and in 1986, he was invited to participate in a seminar on oil and gas of the Pacific Basin hosted by the Financial Times of the United Kingdom in Hong Kong, and made a special speech. In the symposium of senior advisory members of the Ministry of Energy, he has repeatedly put forward suggestions on the management system and operation and development strategy of China's petroleum industry. When the Pacific War broke out in December 1941, the cracker refinery and other equipment ordered by Yumen Oil Mining from the U.S. were bombed by enemy planes in Rangoon, India, while in transit. Sun Yueqi, General Manager of Gansu Oil Mining Bureau, decided to be self-reliant and rise to the challenge by agreeing to rush the production of oil refining equipment in the mainland to meet the emergency. In the extremely difficult conditions at that time, Zou Ming and business director Guo Kexue to Chongqing immediately organized personnel to carry out from the design of oil refining equipment, factory manufacturing, supervision and acceptance to the crating and shipment of interlocking work. Insufficient steel, on the demolition of storage tanks, ships, etc., to overcome the difficulties, and finally in a relatively short period of time has been made of stepped continuous retort furnace 6 groups, by 2500km long-distance transportation, that year in Yumen successively installed and put into operation 4 groups, ahead of schedule to complete the 1942 production of gasoline 1.8 million gallons of the goal of the struggle for the previous year's production of nine times the output, and vigorously support the war of resistance against Japan.
A large portion of the equipment required for the production and construction of the Yumen Oil Mine depended on foreign supplies.
A large part of the equipment needed for the production and construction of the Yumen oil mine depended on foreign supplies. At that time, international transportation was almost interrupted due to the war, and the source of the imported equipment for the Yumen oil mine was in an emergency, and the office of the Resource Committee in the U.S.A. tried to incorporate the equipment for the Yumen oil mine into the U.S.A. Lend-Lease Act on a number of occasions, but was unsuccessful. After his arrival in the U.S., he vigorously publicized the role of Yumen Oil Mine in the anti-Japanese war to the relevant U.S. departments, and finally got the support of the U.S. Wartime Petroleum Bureau, which prompted the Lend-Lease Act Administration to agree to include the Yumen Oil Mine's emergency equipment in the supply of Lend-Lease Act application as military materials. In this way, from 1943 to 1945, the drilling, mining and refining equipment, fittings, tools, instruments, pipes, etc. imported from abroad for Yumen Oil Mine were provided through the U.S. Lend-Lease Act program, and some of the urgent equipment such as wellhead equipment, drilling tools, drill bits, fittings, instruments, etc. were also airlifted by the Air Force several times to Calcutta, India, and were transferred to the domestic market, which ensured that the production of Yumen Oil Mine was in good shape, and the technological level of Yumen Oil Mine was improved. technical level. In addition, through the assistance of the American engineering design company, he introduced vacuum distillation devices and centrifugal dewaxing devices for refining lubricating oils from the Lend-Lease Act, and fully equipped the DUBBS cracking and refining devices that were lost during the Pacific War and the equipment that had been consumed or appropriated by the mine. These devices were put into operation before and after the establishment of the Yumen Oil Mine in the People's Republic of China, which rapidly improved the refining capacity and product variety and quality of the Yumen Oil Mine. As early as April 1949, Zou Ming, then an associate manager of the China National Petroleum Corporation and the manager of the Ganqing Branch, returned to the Yumen Oil Mine and set about organizing the work of protecting the mine. They successively took three main measures: firstly, they purchased and transported large quantities of food, raised gold and silver, and snatched daily necessities and cloths bought from Shanghai in order to protect the living needs of all mine workers and their families. Secondly, in order to stabilize the people's mind, they adopted the method of "keeping their jobs without pay" and sent away nearly 1,000 people, including some people who were not at ease in the mine. Thirdly, in July, he set up a mine protection team with veteran workers and technical backbones as the main body, as the core force to defend the production sector in the mine, and appointed specialists to do a good job for the Kuomintang garrison, so that it would not become a tool for destroying the oil mines. Prior to this, he held on June 1, the entire mine staff meeting focused on the oil mine is the country's treasure, the people's wealth, we must protect the oil mine, he said impassioned: would like to work with you and the oil mine **** survival and death. Won the heartfelt support of the majority of workers.
In the face of the Kuomintang reactionaries threatened to destroy the oil mines if necessary, Zou Ming was y concerned about the limited power of their own, if the time after the liberation of Lanzhou dragged on too long, the oil mines will be difficult to support. To this end, through telegraphic contact, he flew to Hong Kong in August to the resignation of the Resource Committee chairman of the old boss Sun Yueqi reported in detail the mine protection measures and concerns. In addition to expressing his approval, Sun immediately sent telegrams to Shao Lizi and Qian Changzhao in Peking through the Hong Kong organization of the C***, asking them to convey to the relevant parties of the C*** about the protection of the Yumen oil mine, and hoping that the army would continue to march to the northwest without stopping after the liberation of Lanzhou. When Zou Ming was in Hong Kong, he also negotiated with the general manager of China National Petroleum Corporation (CNPC) to raise funds to subsidize the Yumen oil mine.
After returning to Lanzhou from Guangzhou, Zou Ming immediately told Sun Jianchu, the director of the Lanzhou Exploration Office, and Gao Kun, the manager of the Lanzhou Sales Office, and studied in detail Lanzhou's measures to protect the production, and promised to do a good job in protecting their own production. Zou Ming returned to the oil mine, the mine units have begun to protect the production facilities. He continued to organize the mine director Liu Shuren, refinery director Xiong Shangyuan and other sub-heads in the mine will be buried camouflage or enclosure of the oil wells, refinery will be the refining unit and oil depot with empty oil drums loaded with sand and gravel overlap 3 layers and welded with iron bars into a tight enclosure, the units will be temporarily unused important equipment such as drilling rigs, diesel generator sets, oil pumps, meters, and so on, as well as more than 80 trucks hidden in the ravines, and so on.
When the Yumen Oil Mine was liberated, the mine had more than 10,000 stones of grain in stock, equivalent to about 500t, and more than 300,000 yuan of gold and silver, which were enough to meet the living needs of all the employees and their families for half a year. The mine suffered no losses, and the production and construction did not stop for a single moment, which enabled the Yumen Oil Mine to enter into a period of rapid development very soon after the liberation. With the development of Daqing Oilfield, the Party Group of the Ministry of Petroleum Industry put the accelerated development of the oil refining industry on the important agenda to solve the problem of self-sufficiency of petroleum products in China.In the winter of 1961, Sun Jingwen, the vice minister in charge of the oil refining capital construction, sent Zou Ming to the Longfeng Oil Refining Plant, which was under construction, to be the chief engineer of the infrastructure. This plant was the first modernized large-scale oil refinery of its own design, homemade equipment, construction and installation after the founding of the People's Republic of China. At that time when China's national economy in three years of difficulties, Zou Ming to the plant first solved the problems of water, electricity, communications, highway transportation, etc., ready for the construction. 1962 spring, the plant was officially renamed Daqing Oil Refinery (predecessor of Daqing Petrochemical Plant). Zou Ming was appointed as the deputy commander of the plant construction headquarters, in charge of equipment and equipment supply. He organized design and supply staff *** with the preparation of material plans, highlighting the key points, pay close attention to the implementation of non-standard process equipment by the designers to the manufacturing plant squatting to solve various problems. In the design, construction and supply of synergistic cooperation, the first phase of the project was completed and put into production ahead of schedule in only 18 months, praised by the Ministry of Petroleum.
The delayed coking unit, one of the "Five Golden Flowers", in order to ensure that the new refining unit, which was then known both at home and abroad as China's "Five Golden Flowers" of oil refining equipment, fittings, valves, instrumentation and other ancillary work, in the spring of 1964, Sun Jingwen, vice minister, decided to set up a supporting office in the ministry's organs. Sun Jingwen, vice minister, decided to set up a supporting office in the ministry, Zou Ming is responsible for organizing the design, infrastructure, supply departments to solve the construction of supporting issues. On the one hand, they promptly solved the problems arising from the trial production of new products and key equipments and instruments in manufacturing; on the other hand, they assisted the construction units in solving the problems arising from the construction. For example, the key equipment of catalytic cracking unit of Petroleum Plant No. 2, double-acting slide valves, which had been completed in the trial production of Mechanical Plant of Lanzhou Oil Refinery, could not be used due to its stability failing to meet the design requirements. Mr. Sun Jingwen, the vice minister of Lanzhou Refinery, personally arranged to invite the automatic control experts and machinery manufacturing experts from the Ministry of Machinery, Lanzhou Petrochemical Machinery Factory, Shanghai Thermal Instrumentation Factory, Shanghai Turbine Factory, etc., and appointed Mr. Zou Ming to organize and coordinate the joint research and development in Lanzhou Refinery. Zou Ming led everyone to fight for three days to make the stability fully meet the design requirements, and was shipped to Fushun Petroleum Plant No.2 overnight through a special line, which ensured the smooth commissioning of China's first set of catalytic cracking device and contributed to the early realization of "three years to pass the test, five years to be based on the domestic market" for petroleum products. In 1978, our government approved the foreign cooperation of marine petroleum, and Zou Ming was appointed as the consultant of Foreign Affairs Bureau of the Ministry of Petroleum Industry. He put all his energy and enthusiasm into this work, through consulting and exchanging with experts from the United Nations Center for Multinational Corporations and foreign oil companies, plus the original research on international oil economy, he spared no effort to introduce and establish the mechanism of economic evaluation for offshore petroleum exploration and development, and organized the establishment of a computer room for the analysis of economic terms of the contract and the development of oil and gas fields, with the assistance of Shih Hongxi, a senior economist, and created the conditions for the evaluation of offshore petroleum, and made great contributions to the development of offshore petroleum. He also organized the establishment of a computer room with the assistance of senior economist Shi Hongxi, creating conditions for the analysis of economic terms of contracts and the evaluation of oil and gas field development, and played an important role in the evaluation of tenders and contract negotiations in the first round of offshore oil foreign cooperation.
Zou Ming conducted a lot of research on various types of international oil exploration and development contract forms and their characteristics, and actively participated in the formulation of the physical exploration agreement, the Standard Contract, the Regulations on Foreign Cooperation in the Exploitation of Marine Petroleum Resources of the Chinese People's Republic of China, the evaluation of the first round of bidding, and the contract negotiations with foreign oil companies. At that time, he timely reflected to the leadership of the Ministry of Petroleum the dangers of the proposed "general contracting" approach to the Sino-Japanese Bohai Sea oil agreement, avoiding major economic losses. Zou Ming also consulted foreign tax experts and, with the support of the leaders of the Ministry of Petroleum, proposed to the Ministry of Finance that the tax rate of the Income Tax Law for Foreign Cooperative Enterprises under preparation should adopt the progressive system, i.e., a high tax rate to solve the problem of double-tax credit which was a concern of foreign oil companies without affecting the preferential policy of low tax rate implemented by the Special Administrative Region of China at that time for foreign enterprises. The first round of bidding was able to proceed as scheduled.
China's offshore oil cooperation with foreign countries has caused some people at home and abroad, fear of loss of sovereignty, fear of being fooled and suffer losses, especially for the 1980 signing of the Sino-Japanese Bohai Sea cooperation area exploration and development contract that the Chinese side suffered a big loss, and some are even not in favor of opening up the offshore oil to the outside world. To this end, the National Energy Commission and the Import and Export Management Committee in the spring of 1981 jointly convened the Bohai Sea oil exploration and development of the argumentative meeting, inviting domestic experts, scholars, engineering and technical cadres and the relevant authorities in charge of the Bohai Sea petroleum contract for argumentation. At the meeting, Zou Ming spent a day and a half on the economic terms of the Bohai Sea contract for a detailed analysis, and through the use of computer programs in accordance with a variety of different scenarios measured by a large number of economic data, including both sides of the economic efficiency ratio, the foreign profitability, investment profits than the upper and lower ranges, indicating that the Sino-Japanese Bohai Sea contract of the economic terms of the contract for our side is more favorable to safeguard the economic rights and interests of the resources to reduce the distance with the British and Norwegian North Sea Compared with the economic terms of the British and Norwegian North Sea oil contracts, the profit rate of the Japanese side is not high, and the Chinese side has not been taken advantage of. Through the argumentation, basically achieved *** knowledge, exclude interference, and maintain China's foreign open policy of marine oil.
