China’s offshore oil development is expected to go deep-sea

Shanghai Xinhua April 20, this early, China’s marine mechanical apparatus apparatus manufacturers momentous ventures – the world’s sixth-generation 3000-meter deep water semi-submersible drilling podium in Shanghai Waigaoqiao Shipbuilding Co., Ltd. under the dock productively moved into the key with assembly stage. It is comprehended that this is the first time their own create, assembled the world’s most superior deep-water semi-submersible drilling podium to top up in the deep water drilling of our large apparatus details 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 platform, 30,670 tons, the deck length of 114 meters, a width of 79 meters, deck area equivalent to the size of a football field, drilling from the bottom to the top height of 130 meters, which is equivalent to 43-story high-rise buildings, the total length of cable 650 km, which is equivalent to a straight line from Shanghai to Tianjin distance. The total project cost nearly 60 billion yuan in the field of marine engineering can be called the “aircraft carrier.”

At present, the world’s verified oil and gas assets in the most of marine reserves in the 3000 meters underneath the seabed. Deep-sea oil procedures have been the centre expertise from the hands of a little number of nations in Europe and America, China’s offshore oil development has long been restricted by the mechanical grade only in seaboard waters, and now the position will be a basic change.
