China’s latest energy project is blending innovation with sustainability! The Wushi 23-5 oilfield cluster, launched Monday in the Beibu Gulf, marks a major leap in green offshore energy production. Operated by China National Offshore Oil Corporation (CNOOC), this high-tech hub features 46 production wells and aims to hit a peak daily output of over 2,000 tonnes of crude oil—while keeping Mother Earth in mind 🌍.
🚨 Why it’s cool: This is the Beibu Gulf’s first oilfield powered by onshore electricity, slashing annual offshore gas consumption by a whopping 20,000 tonnes of standard coal—like taking 4,300 gas-guzzling cars off the road for a year! 🌿 CNOOC also confirmed that the entire lifecycle, from construction to production, uses eco-friendly tech to ensure zero discharge and zero pollution of production water.
💡 Next-level tech: The cluster converts natural gas into cleaner LNG and LPG for storage and transport. Plus, it’s boosting local green projects like fishing-photovoltaic farms and offshore wind energy. \"This is a blueprint for low-carbon transformation in offshore oil,\" said Deng Yong of CNOOC.
With young innovators and eco-warriors in mind, Wushi 23-5 proves that energy production doesn’t have to cost the planet. Time to rethink oil? 💬✨
