CNOOC Achieves First Oil in Bohai Bay Fields
The unitized CFD 11-6/12-1S fields are located in 04/36 and 05/36 blocks in Bohai Bay, with average water depth of 22-30 meters. The development facilities of CFD 11-6/12-1S fields include three wellhead platforms, two of which are unmanned satellite platforms.
To optimize the operations efficiency, the fields share part of production facilities with the fields CFD 11-1/11-2. The crude oil produced from the fields will be transported through a 13-kilometer sub-sea pipeline to the Hai Yang Shi You 112 floating production, storage and offloading vessel (FPSO).
By the end of October, 10 wells are expected to be brought online with total production of 15,000 barrels of oil per day. Peak production of the fields is expected to reach approximately 6,000,000 barrels of oil per year.
Mr. Liu Jian, Executive Vice President of the Company said, "We congratulate the successful commencement of CFD 11-6/12-1S fields. It's resulted from the joint efforts of CNOOC Ltd. and our partners.
