* Type: Gas
* Estimated Reserves: 3-trillion cubic feet of gas
* Production Volume:

+++ Description
* The Yacheng field has estimated reserves of more than 3-trillion cubic feet of gas, making it the largest offshore natural gas producing field in China
* Yacheng 13-4 Gas Field is a satellite
* The gas is mostly transported to Hong Kong through a 480-mile pipeline, the second longest subsea pipeline in the world.
* A second pipeline supplys natural gas to local industries on Hainan Island some 60 miles away.

+++ Contractors
* **HHI:** Construction of Wellhead Platform & Pile
* **Saipem:**
** Yacheng RDPP1 - LQ Jacket
** Gas pipeline installation

+++ History
* 1983 - Yacheng 13 1 Gas Field discovered
* 1996 - Production start up
* 2004 - BP handed operatorship to its major project partner CNOOC
* 2012 - Yacheng 13-4 Gas Field Starts Production
* 2013 - BP sells stake KUFPEC

+++ Geology
* The primary reservoir is the Middle/Late Oligocene Lingshui-3 Member sandstones, which were developed during a major marine transgression in response to the continued opening up of the South China Sea. The thermal subsidence during late syn-rift stage created substantial accommodation space that contributed to the development of overwhelmingly thick succession (over 150 m) of reservoir sandstones with excellent reservoir quality.
