Area. "Planning" made it clear that by 2015, the region will be built into an important economic center in the western region; by 2020, it will become one of the regions with the most comprehensive strength in China.

It is understood that chemical industry will become a pillar industry to support the development of Chengyu Economic Zone. The region will focus on building an important national oil and gas chemical and salt chemical base and a major national major equipment manufacturing base, accelerating the development of the pharmaceutical industry, and establishing an industrial system featuring biopharmaceuticals as the key, chemical raw materials as the basis, and authentic medicinal materials. , Doing better and stronger light textile food industry.

Chengyu Economic Zone is rich in resources, and water resources, mineral resources and natural gas all rank among the top in the country. The Sichuan Basin is one of the major petroleum-bearing basins in the country. It has found that the natural gas reserves have reached more than 7 trillion cubic meters; Sichuan has rich mineral resources and a wide range of mineral resources. Seven kinds of minerals such as vanadium, titanium and pyrite rank the first in the country. Lithium ore, Glauber's salt and other 11 minerals rank second in the country, and phosphorite ranks fifth in the country; Southern Sichuan is dominated by coal, sulfur, phosphorus, rock salt, and natural gas. One of the bases. Chongqing is one of the most concentrated areas in the country's large and medium-sized cities. It has discovered 75 types of minerals, 40 types of minerals that have been initially discovered, and 353 proven mineral deposits. The potential value of reserves and mineral resources is 388.2 billion yuan. Among the advantageous minerals, the proven reserves of natural gas are 320 billion cubic meters, of which the Wolong River Gas Field in Dianjiang ranks first in the country. In addition, there are non-metallic minerals such as rock salt, barite, fluorite, limestone, and silicon. These abundant mineral resources provide guarantee for accelerating the development of regional oil and gas chemical and salt chemical industry in Chengyu Economic Zone.
