China Power Investment Corporation signs agreement to invest and build a large-scale aluminum base in the Republic of Guinea on Sept 6, 2013

A concession agreement on investing and building a large-scale aluminum base with supporting facilities that can produce four million tons of aluminum oxide per year was signed by China Power Investment Corporation (now merged with State Nuclear Power Technology Corporation into State Power Investment Corporation Limited) and the government of the Republic of Guinea on Sept 6, 2013.

The project was China's first self-dominated and solely-invested overseas super-large aluminum ore development project. It had strategic significance in overseas aluminum supply and broke the bottle neck in the country's aluminum ore supply.

The Jiaoye 6-2HF well of the Fuling National Shale Gas Field has produced 100 million cubic meters of shale gas by Sept 6, 2014

The Jiaoye 6-2HF well of the Fuling National Shale Gas Field had produced 100 million cubic meters of shale gas by Sept 6, 2014, becoming China's first shale gas well to reach that level of yield.

The project was built and operated by China Petrochemical Corporation and  a special production mechanism for increased pressure differences in the gas field was adopted during exploration.

It was also proof that the field is home to rich resources that can be developed.

The well elevated the field into a national shale gas demonstration zone.
