Chinanews, Beijing, Aug 30 – After two months of trial operation, an oilfield of the China National Offshore1 Oil Corp. (CNOOC) has resumed operation recently after being hit by typhoon. The oilfield, called Liu Hua 11-1 is now operating smoothly2 and its daily crude oil output has reached 23,000 barrels, CNOOC said on Wednesday.
Liu Hua Oilfield is located at the eastern part of the South China Sea, 300 meters under the sea. When it was put to operation in 1996, it claimed to have owned seven world top-level technologies, which earned for it the reputation of a "pearl on the crown of global oil industry." On May 17, 2006, when Typhoon Zhenzhu swept across the eastern region of the South China Sea, the oil production at Liu Hua 11-1 Oilfield had to be postponed3, causing an economic loss of 10 million yuan a day. The typhoon reached a wind force encountered once in a hundred years. Luckily, before the typhoon arrived, CNOOC had taken safety measures and all the staff in the company had evacuated4 from the scene, therefore nobody was hurt and no oil was spilt at sea during the typhoon weather. However, the company's oil vessel5, Shengli FPSO was badly destroyed during the typhoon, and the oilfield had to postponed its operation due to the damage. With concerted efforts from various parties, Liu Hua Oilfield has now resumed operation one year ahead of schedule. During this one year, Liu Hua Oilfield could produce 1.2 million more tons of crude oil than before and thus generate 4 billion yuan of revenue for the company.
