China's offshore energy sector just leveled up! 🚢 Installation of Haiji-2, Asia's first independently designed deepwater jacket, began Sunday in Zhuhai, Guangdong Province. Developed by state-owned China National Offshore Oil Corporation (CNOOC), this engineering marvel will operate in waters deeper than most Tokyo Skytrees are tall!
The 3-day installation process could rewrite Asian offshore records for operating depth, structural height, and total weight – bringing next-gen energy solutions closer to reality. 🌏 While details remain under wraps, experts say this project highlights China's growing prowess in advanced marine engineering.
Fun fact for tech enthusiasts: Jackets (no, not your denim favorite 👖) are steel frameworks that support offshore platforms. The deeper they go, the tougher the engineering challenges!
