China’s energy sector just hit a major milestone! 🚨 The Bozhong 26-6 Oilfield, operated by state-owned CNOOC, has officially begun Phase I production in the Bohai Sea. This billion-tonne project is set to become a global energy powerhouse, with peak daily output expected to hit 22,300 barrels of oil equivalent by 2025. 💡
Located in shallow waters (avg. 20 meters deep), the oilfield’s light crude is extracted using cutting-edge tech, including a central processing platform and an unmanned wellhead platform. 🌍 Engineers are calling it a ‘metamorphic marvel’ — its oil reservoirs, buried thousands of meters below seabed hills, are the world’s largest of their type. 🔍
Phase I includes 33 production wells, and CNOOC’s Liu Jingliang confirmed the project’s rapid timeline: “From discovery to production in just three years — this is innovation at its fastest.” ⚡ The Bohai Oilfield, already home to 50+ operational fields, has maintained 30+ million tonnes of annual crude output since 2021. 📈
With China’s energy demands growing, projects like Bozhong 26-6 highlight how tech and scale are reshaping global markets. 🌏💼
