The development and construction of a billion-ton oilfield in the Bohai Sea has officially begun.
On April 10th, with the commencement of construction at three sites in Tianjin and Qingdao for the Phase I development project of the Kenli 10-2 Oilfield and the A54 well block of the Kenli 10-1 Oilfield, the 100-million-ton-class large oilfield, Kenli 10-2, officially entered the stage of development and construction.
The Kenli 10-2 oilfield is located in the southern part of the Bohai Sea, about 245 kilometers away from Tianjin. The average water depth is approximately 15.7 meters. It is a large sedimentary rock oil reservoir discovered by China National Offshore Oil Corporation in the shallow part of the Laizhou Bay depression in 2021, with proven geological reserves of over 100 million tons of crude oil. This project includes building a new central platform, two unmanned wellhead platforms, laying 7 submarine pipelines and 4 submarine cables in the Kenli 10-2 oilfield. It is a key project for achieving the production target of 40 million tons of oil and 3 million tons of heavy oil in the Bohai Sea oilfield by 2025.
