Happy May Day 2024! Safety first. Let’s give praise and support to the achievements made in China’s chemical engineering technology and equipment. **********************【Ten Years of Progress in Chemical Engineering 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 Engineering Forum) ***************** The main structure of CNOOC’s unmanned intelligent platforms has been completed. On April 17, 2024, the main structures of CNOOC’s unmanned intelligent platforms, Panyu 10-1 and Panyu 11-12, were completed at CNOOC Engineering’s Zhuhai facility, and they have now entered the stage of system connection and testing. This project utilized a number of innovative digital technologies in its design and construction; it took 10 months to complete the building of the four individual units, thereby further enhancing China’s capabilities in the systematic engineering design of offshore oil and gas equipment. 　　According to Li Zhenning, project manager of the Deep Water Engineering Construction Center at CNOOC Shenzhen Branch, the two platforms are 133.4 meters and 150.8 meters tall respectively, with a weight of around 7,000 tons each; the deck area covered by them is equivalent to that of 12 standard basketball courts. Among them, Panyu 11-12 is an unmanned intelligent platform that incorporates various digital and intelligent technologies in its design, enabling functions such as intelligent oil extraction, intelligent equipment operation and maintenance, and intelligent security. The Panyu 10-1 platform is connected to the existing Panyu 10-2 platform via a 52-meter long pier; its design follows the concept of unmanned operation and maintenance, making full use of existing resources to **reduce investment costs. 　　Next, the project team will carry out tasks such as pipeline installation, cable laying, joint commissioning, and preparation for shipment, with full offshore installation scheduled to begin in early May.
