Description

  • The first phase of the development includes one 48-slot wellhead gathering platform and one 24-slot wellhead platform.
  • Phase 2 consists of a core-area gathering platform and two smaller unmanned satellite platforms, which are tied back approximately 13 kilometers to the FPSO
  • The field utilises the Hai Yang Shi You 112 FPSO, a floating production, storage and offloading facility (FPSO), as the main production platform.
  • The FPSO can process up to 80,000 barrels of oil and 350,000 barrels of gross liquids a day. It can store up to one million barrels of oil for offloading to shuttle tankers.
  • The Caofeidian (CFD) 11-3/5 field was developed as a satellite
  • The Caofeidian (CFD) 11-6/12-1S field has three wellhead platforms and is tied back via a 13-kilometer sub-sea pipeline to the FPSO
