A “Super Energy Bowl” with “hardcore” and “beauty”--- “Haikui No.1” is Coming
According to a
previous CCTV news report, the oil and gas processing capacity of this “super
energy bowl” is about 5600t/day, and the oil processed every day can be
simultaneously used by 900,000 cars, which makes it a true “super energy bowl”.
On April 26, 2024,
the “CNOOC Liuhua super engineering cylindrical FPSO Brand Naming and Terminal
Delivery Ceremony” was held at the Qingdao CNOOC Offshore Engineering Base. Fan
Qiang, China Classification Society (CCS) Vice President, Zheng Nan, Deputy
Director of the Headquarters Offshore Engineering Department and the Project
Manager of this unit, Yu Huaiming, General Manager of Qingdao Branch, and Gao
Xueting, Deputy General Manager of Qingdao Branch, were invited to attend the
event. During the event, Vice President Fan Qiang had friendly exchanges with
the owner, the EPCI(Engineering, Procurement, Construction, Installation), and
Det Norske Veritas (DNV) representatives, and took photos with the employees
from all parties involved in the construction of the CCS system.
The CNOOC Liuhua
super engineering cylindrical FPSO is official named as “HAI YANG SHI YOU 122”,
and it is announced to be also named “Haikui No. 1”.
“Haikui No. 1” has a design service life of
30 years, and can withstand the super typhoon once in a century. It will be
operated in Liuhua 11-1/4-1 Oilfield in the Pearl River Mouth
in the South China Sea, with the operating water depth of 324m, the
daily crude oil processing capacity of , and the maximum crude oil
storage capacity of .
As the first
cylindrical floating production storage and offloading (FPSO) unit in Asia,
this facility was completely designed and built independently by China, and it
adopts advanced technologies including the first domestic offshore dual tower
desulfurization system design, the first domestic non-vane effect output system
design, etc.Multiple technological breakthroughs has been achieved with the
successful construction of this project.
