Currently, the operations of Huizhou oilfields are running well, with daily production of 45,000 barrels of oil and over 40 million cubic feet of natural gas.
After typhoon, the company worked closely with its partners on the recovery plan for the oilfields. Huizhou 21-1 gas field restarted its production shortly after being hit, while other fields such as Huizhou 26-1 resumed production early this year.
Yang Hua, president of CNOOC,said: “Huizhou oilfields are one of our important assets in the Eastern South China Sea. The rapid recovery of these oil fields will provide strong support for achieving the Company’s production target in 2010. Meanwhile, the success is an evidence of the outstanding capability of the company together with its partners to overcome difficulties and challenges.”
Huizhou oilfields are located in the Pearl River Mouth Basin and about 120 miles southeast of Hong Kong. The water depth of the fields averages 115mt. Huizhou oilfields consist of eight platforms, including Huizhou 26-1, Huizhou 19-2 and so on.
