TIANJIN, June 8 (Xinhua) — The floating central processing platform (FCP) of the first phase of the Kenli 10-2 oil field development project has been successfully installed, breaking records in both size and weight for offshore oil and gas platform installations in the Bohai Sea region, Tianjin-based Offshore Oil Engineering Co., Ltd., announced Sunday.
The central processing platform is a three-layer, eight-legged multifunctional offshore structure that integrates production and domestic facilities. This offshore oil and gas platform, 22.8 m high and with a design weight of over 20,000 tons, is the heaviest and largest in the Bohai Sea.
During the platform installation operation, the project team deployed three sets of Beidou positioning systems equipped with artificial intelligence algorithms on the main operating vessel, providing the installation with millimeter-level anti-collision radar.
Several tugs coordinated their efforts to steer the vessel, accurately installing the platform in a single attempt, setting a new record for installing large offshore oil and gas platforms in challenging sea conditions.
The Kenli 10-2 oil field is located in the southern waters of the Bohai Sea, approximately 245 km from Tianjin, where the average water depth is about 20 m. It is the largest lithological field discovered to date in China’s offshore areas, with proven geological reserves of over 100 million tons. -0-
