🌊 Diving deep into innovation! China's first independently-developed ultra-deepwater gas field, Shenhai-1 (aka Deep Sea No.1), has made waves by producing over 8 billion cubic meters of natural gas and exceeding 800,000 cubic meters in oil output! 🎉
Located 150 km off the coast of Sanya in south China’s island province of Hainan, this marvel operates at ocean depths of over 1,500 meters. Talk about going the distance! 🐠✨
Since kicking off operations on June 25, 2021, Deep Sea No.1 has been a game-changer. And guess what? The adventure continues! 🚀 The China National Offshore Oil Corporation (CNOOC) is already underway with Phase II of the project, aiming to upgrade the gas field. Upon completion, it will command 23 deep-water gas wells and two sets of underwater production systems. That’s some serious underwater tech! 🔧🌐
This isn’t just a win for China, but a monumental step in deep-sea exploration and energy production worldwide. 🌏 Energy enthusiasts, keep your eyes peeled—Deep Sea No.1 is just getting started! 👀🔥
