🌊🚀 Big news from the Beibu Gulf! China's latest eco-friendly oilfield cluster, Wushi 23-5, just kicked off operations, and it's set to change the game in offshore energy production! 🌿⚡️
Located in the eastern waters of the Beibu Gulf, the Wushi 23-5 cluster boasts 46 production wells and aims for a peak daily output of over 2,000 tonnes of crude oil. But what's really cool is how it's embracing green technologies to make oil production cleaner than ever before! 🌍💚
\"From design and construction to production, we've gone all-in on eco-friendly and low-carbon tech throughout the entire process,\" said Dai Yi, general manager of the Wushi oilfield operation company under CNOOC's Zhanjiang Branch. \"We've achieved zero discharge and zero pollution for the water used in production.\" 💧✅
This isn't just any oilfield; it's the first in the Beibu Gulf to be powered by electricity supplied from shore, slashing offshore gas consumption by an amount equivalent to 20,000 tonnes of standard coal every year! ⚡️🏭 That's a huge win for the environment and a major step towards sustainable energy practices. 🌟
But wait, there's more! Wushi 23-5 is rocking a comprehensive production mode that covers oil and gas production, gathering, processing, and sales. They've got tech that turns associated natural gas into liquefied natural gas (LNG) and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) for storage, loading, and transportation. Talk about efficient! 🔥🚢
\"We're using the development of the Wushi 23-5 oilfield cluster as a chance to boost local green industries,\" shared Deng Yong, deputy general manager of CNOOC's Zhanjiang Branch. \"This includes fishing-photovoltaic complementary projects and developing offshore wind resources. It's a showcase for the low-carbon transformation of offshore oil exploration and production.\" 🌞🐟💨
So, if you're into big moves in renewable energy and sustainable practices, keep an eye on Wushi 23-5. It's not just another oilfield—it's a beacon for a greener future! 🌏✨
