On February 3, 2026, the EPCIC project for the FPU (floating production unit) of Phase 3 of the Sakarya gas field, which was undertaken by Huisheng Clean Energy Technology Group Co., Ltd. (Huisheng Clean Energy) for Turkey Petroleum Administration (TPAO), officially commenced construction at Huisheng’s Nantong facility. This marks the entry into the construction phase of the key equipment needed for the development of ultra-deep water gas fields in the Black Sea. Ms. Özlem Kural, Consul General of Turkey in Shanghai; Mr. Hussein Eyyegi, Executive Vice President of the Turkish Petroleum Corporation (TPAO), the investor representative; Mr. Uğur Karakas, President of the Turkish Petroleum Offshore Technology Center (TP-OTC); Mr. Liu Hongjun, CEO of Huisheng Clean Energy; a representative from DNV Classification Society; and other distinguished guests attended the project launch ceremony. The guests present offered warm congratulations on the successful commencement of the project, and pledged to work together to ensure its progress on schedule. As the largest natural gas reserve discovered in Turkey to date, the Sakarya gas field is a key project for the country’s strategy to achieve energy independence. The implementation of Phase 3 will significantly increase domestic natural gas production, which is of strategic importance for ensuring **energy security. The core equipment of this project, the deep-water floating production unit (FPU), will carry out key functions such as natural gas processing, pressurization, and transportation. This facility features a double-hull design, with a total length of 282 meters and a beam of 54 meters. It was specifically developed for operations in ultra-deep water environments of 2150 meters depth, and its designed service life is 30 years. As planned, the hull construction of this project will be completed in April 2027, with the overall installation and commissioning to take place at the Huisheng facility by the end of the same year. The successful launch of this project not only demonstrates Huisheng Clean Energy’s outstanding capabilities in deep-water project EPC, high-end marine equipment integration, and the management of international projects, but also provides valuable practical experience for China’s marine engineering equipment manufacturing industry to compete in the global floating energy market.
