Happy New Year 2024 **********************【Ten Years of Rapid Development in Chemical Processing Equipment】A continuously updated summary post is available; feel free to join the discussions at https://bbs.hcbbs.com/thread-3576046-1-1.html (Source: Haichuan Chemical Industry Forum) ***************** On January 26, 2024, reporters learned from CNOOC Tianjin Branch that the CEPC – Asia’s first platform designed for both oil and gas processing and shore power supply – was successfully put into operation in the Bohai Sea oil field. The new model developed by this platform for the combined development of oil and gas production with onshore power supply creates a green benchmark for the high-quality exploitation of marine oil and gas resources in China. 　　According to the introduction, the new co-construction model involves installing high-voltage power transmission equipment and oil and gas processing equipment on the same platform, which is equivalent to equipping a traditional central processing platform with an onshore power \"heart\". By adopting this development model, the Chengbei Oil Field can be connected to green electricity from the mainland through shore power facilities, thereby putting an end to the practice of self-generated power in offshore oil fields. This reduces the consumption of natural gas and crude oil associated with self-generated power at sea, and further facilitates the sustainable development of marine oil and gas resources. 　　This model is being applied for the first time in Asia; it not only opens up new pathways for reducing energy consumption and carbon emissions in China’s offshore oil fields in the future, but it will also help the Chengbei Oil Field reach another peak in production levels once it goes into operation. 　　In the early stages of development of the Chengbei oil field, platforms A and B were built. The newly constructed CEPC is the third central platform to be built in the 39 years since the operation of the Chengbei oil field began. This platform is an 8-leg, 8-main-pile structure that is over 10 stories high and weighs nearly 15,000 tons; it serves as the core equipment for the development projects of the Chengbei Oil Field and the Caofeidian 21-3 Oil Field. The Bohai Oil Field will further promote the development of the Chengbei Oil Field by constructing new platforms, submarine pipelines, undersea cables, workover rigs, and developing a new batch of production wells, thereby injecting new momentum into the sustainable development of offshore oil fields in China.
