Cnooc "Deep Sea One" Completed

The land construction of the integrated treatment platform for the second phase of the Deep-sea One project is being completed in the West Coast New Area of Qingdao, in Qingdao, Shandong province, China, on February 1, 2024. Reports indicate that the platform is utilizing 7 megawatt gas turbine generator sets and other domestic equipment that possess completely independent intellectual property rights. It is equipped with the largest domestic offshore platform slug flow catcher, designed by CNOOC, to eliminate the risk of liquid level fluctuations and blockages in oil and gas mixed transport pipelines, ensuring the reliable operation of oil and gas treatment equipment. The deep-sea No. 1 ultra-deep water gas field, which started operations in June 2021, has confirmed geological reserves of over 100 billion cubic meters. With a maximum water depth of more than 1,500 meters and a maximum well depth of over 4,000 meters, it is the deepest and most challenging offshore ultra-deep water gas field independently developed by China to date.
