OREANDA-NEWS. On a video conference held on December 17, 2014, Sinopec vowed to eradicate all oil and gas pipelines safety vulnerabilities in 3 years. Concrete actions are scheduled to resolve all three categories of safety problems in three phases: indentified general safety problems before the end of 2015, identified major problems before the end of 2016, and identified severe problems before the end of September 2017. This indicates Sinopec's determination to address thoroughly its oil and gas pipelines safety problems.
