Offshore Oil & Gas

Project: Deep Sea No.1 (Lingshui 17-2 Gas Field Development Project)

Time of completion: June 2021

Project introduction: As China’s first ultra-deep water (1,500m) gas field, “Deep Sea No.1” is located in Lingshui, China. About 150km southeast of Sanya, Hainan with water depth ranges from 1,220m to 1,560m. The designed gas production capacity and commercial gas export capacity is 3.25 billion cubic meters per annum and 3 billion cubic meters per annum respectively. The scope of work includes the design, construction and installation/laying of one semi-submersible production and storage platform, one subsea production system, 17 submarine pipelines, 11 umbilicals, and other facilities.

Project highlights: The core facility of the project, known as the “Deep Sea No.1 Energy Station”, is the world’s first 100,000 tons deepwater semi-submersible production and storage platform, in which three advanced technologies in the international level and thirteen in the national level are adopted for the first time and its design fatigue life could exceed 150 years. Under the stringent standards, the station can withstand extreme weather conditions like super typhoons unseen in a century and deliver the promise of “no docking in 30 years”.

COOEC completed the construction of the “Deep Sea No.1 Energy Station” in only 21 months. The final assembly, loading and precision control has reached the world-leading level and many gaps in the construction techniques for 1,500m water depth have been filled, setting notable records of “China Speed”, “China Precision” and “China Depth”.

A new 60,000 tons cylindrical LH11-1 FPSO (“Haikui No.1”), Water Depth:312m

One flexible pipeline and subsea cable from LH11-1 DPP to LH11-1 FPSO

One flexible pipeline from existing bridging manifold to LH11-1 DPP

Existing LH4-1 subsea cable tie back to LH11-1 DPP by lengthening

Existing LH4-1 umbilical rebuilt and tie back to LH11-1 DPP

Project highlights: Liuhua11-1/4-1 Oilfields Continued Development Project is the first project combining a deepwater fixed platform with cylindrical FPSO with average water depth of 320m in the world, which is accomplished by COOEC as the EPCI contractor independently.
The total weight of LH11-1 DPP Platform is over 50,000 tons. The deepwater jacket “Haiji-2” is nearly 37,000 tons with water depth of 324m, which is No.7 of the world deepwater jacket. A digital Health Management System is applied in “Haiji-2”, which will be used for daily inspection and maintenance of substructure after the platform being in-service.
The total weight of LH11-1 cylindrical FPSO(“Haikui No.1”) is nearly 37,000 tons with water depth of 312m, which is No.3 of the world cylindrical FPSO.
These two facilities both have a 30-year design fatigue life and could survive from ultra-strong typhoon once-in-a-century.

Project: Lufeng Oilfields Regional Development Project

Time of completion: December 2022

Project introduction: This project located in the Pearl River Mouth Basin, consists of two drilling and production platforms and a subsea production system. The core facility of the project is Lufeng 15-1 jacket “Haiji-1”, which is 302 meters high and weighs 30,000 tons.

Project highlights: Deepwater jacket “Haiji-1” , the first 300m deepwater jacket in Asia, is designed to withstand extreme sea states with a return period of 100 years. COOEC has overcome many challenges associated with strong internal waves, highly consolidated soil in the continental slope zone, large sand waves and sand ridges, super-large structures in position and the stability of super-large X-braced structures. It has employed more than ten innovative technologies including but not limited to the overall design of deepwater jackets, the design and construction of stepped mud pads and independent launching trusses, the lifting of large-size, wide-span, heavy structures involving multiple cranes, and digital twin-based operation and maintenance, embracing all-round improvement in the areas of basic theory, structure type/form, design concept, material selection, construction technique, operation and maintenance.
