China’s offshore oil development is anticipated to proceed deep-sea

Shanghai Xinhua April 20, this forenoon, China’s marine technology gear manufacturers breakthrough tasks – the world’s sixth-generation 3000-meter deep water semi-submersible drilling stage in Shanghai Waigaoqiao Shipbuilding Co., Ltd. under the dock effectively went into the key with assembly stage. It is appreciated that this is the first time their own conceive, constructed the world’s most sophisticated deep-water semi-submersible drilling stage to load up in the deep water drilling of our large gear pieces blank.

The deep water semi-submersible drilling podium is belongs to China National Offshore Oil Corporation, China Shipbuilding Industry Corporation from the seventh of eight ○ Institute and Shanghai Waigaoqiao Shipbuilding Co., Ltd. combined undertake the in actual create and goods produced create, by the Shanghai Takahashi Shipbuilding Co., Ltd. construction.

The self-drilling podium, 30,670 tons, the deck distance of 114 meters, a size of 79 meters, deck environs same to the amount of a football paddock, drilling from the foundation to the apex elevation of 130 meters, which is same to 43-story high-rise constructions, the total distance of twisted line 650 km, which is same to a unbent line from Shanghai to Tianjin distance. The total venture cost close to 60 billion yuan in the paddock of marine mechanical apparatus can be called the “aircraft carrier.”

At present, the world’s proven oil and gas resources in the majority of marine reserves in the 3000 meters below the seabed. Deep-sea oil operations have been the core technology from the hands of a small number of countries in Europe and America, China’s offshore oil development has long been limited by the technical level only in coastal waters, and now the situation will be a fundamental change.
