As the operation manager, the Yunnan Company of the National Pipeline Network Group has promoted the quality and efficiency of pipeline operations through digital and intelligent transformation. By promoting intelligent management of unmanned operation, unattended and dedicated emergency response at stations, 5 smart stations have been built. Currently, the China-Myanmar crude oil pipeline delivers an average of 35,000 tons of oil per day. (over)
