China’s homegrown energy pioneer – the Shenhai-1 ultra-deepwater gas field – just hit a major milestone, producing over 8 billion cubic meters of natural gas and 800,000 cubic meters of oil since its 2021 launch. Dubbed 'Deep Sea No.1,' this engineering marvel operates in waters deeper than 1,500 meters – that’s like drilling twice the height of Dubai’s Burj Khalifa underwater!
Located 150 km off Sanya in tropical Hainan, the project is now expanding with Phase II to connect 23 deepwater gas wells and upgrade production systems. Imagine a sci-fi underwater city powering millions of homes!
Operated by the China National Offshore Oil Corporation, Shenhai-1 highlights China’s push to boost energy security and tech innovation. With global energy demands rising, projects like this could reshape how we harness ocean resources.
