Deep Sea No.1

Unread post by escveritas »

The world's first 100,000-ton deep-water semi-submersible oil production and storage platform “Deep Sea No. 1" was delivered and set sail in Yantai

On January 14, the world's first 100,000 ton deep-water semi-submersible FPSO energy station “Deep Sea No. 1”, China’s own research and development, was delivered and sea sail in Yantai, Shandong province, China. This is a major breakthrough in China's ability to develop deep-water oil and gas fields and in the construction of deep-water offshore engineering equipment. It is of great significance to improving China's ability to develop Marine resources, ensuring national energy security and supporting the strategy of making China a maritime power.

Towed and dragged by three high-horsepower tug ships, the “Deep Sea No.1” energy station will travel southward from the Yellow Sea to Lingshui, located in southeast China's Hainan Island in February, for the development of China's first 1500m deep water self-operated large gas field - Lingshui 17-2 gas field.

During the construction phase, the project achieved three world-class innovations, applied thirteen domestic pioneering technologies, and solved more than ten industrial problems. It is a masterpiece in the field of offshore engineering construction in China.

CIMC Raffles has provided hull module construction and mega block erection services successively for the "Deep-sea No. 1" power station. Through the successful implementation of the mega block erection activity, China’s technology on structure assembly & erection, as well as dimensional control of semi-submersible platform has reached the world advanced level. A number of deep-water construction technologies have broken the 1500-meter barrier, and China has fully mastered the independent manufacturing technology of more than 10 kinds of key underwater equipment, such as central manifold, which significantly improved its overall contracting capacity of very large deep water equipment projects.

Installation of domestically developed gas station starts in South China Sea

(Global Times) A domestically developed deep water semi-submersible oil production and storage facility weighing 100,000 tons arrived at a gas drilling field off the coast of South China's Hainan Province on Saturday and installation work started, marking another crucial step in China's deep sea oil exploration and production.

The project will supply one-quarter of the gas demand in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area.

The station, named Deep Sea No.1, is said to be the world's largest. It was independently developed and built by China National Offshore Oil Corp (CNOOC), China's largest offshore oil and gas producer.

Construction on Deep Sea No.1 started in May 2019. It was delivered on January 14 and traveled for 18 days to its destination at the Lingshui 17-2 gas field off Hainan, according to CNOOC.

The station represents a breakthrough for China in deep water oil and gas development, said You Xuegang, general manager of CNOOC's Lingshui 17-2 project group, in an article published by CNOOC on its official WeChat account.

The Lingshui 17-2 gas field is China's first self-operated deep water gas field, with operations reaching a depth of 1,500 meters on average, according to CNOOC.

"Deliveries from the Lingshui 17-2 gas field can guarantee one-quarter of the residents' gas demand in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area. More gas fields in the South China Sea will be developed with the help of the Deep Sea No.1 energy station," You said.
