WZ11-1E oil field is located in the BeiBu Gulf basin in a water depth of about 40mt. The development and production operation of this field will mainly rely on the facilities of the adjacent field WZ 11-1. WZ 11-1E, with three wells on line currently, is expected to hit its peak production of more than 3,000 barrels per day within the year.
BZ 3-2, with an averaged water depth of 25mt, is located in the central part of Bohai Bay and about 20km southeast of producing field Qinhuangdao 32-6. A self-elevating producing platform is utilized for the development of the field to reduce cost. BZ 3-2 is producing via seven wells now and is projected to peak its daily production at 4,800 barrels within 2010.
Chen Bi, executive vice president of Cnooc, said: “We have accumulated a set of effective technologies for marginal fields based on rolling development and regional development during our offshore operations. The application of these technologies has contributed greatly to the successful development of WZ 11-1E and BZ 3-2.”
