Southern China Nanhai opportunity of shipbuilding industry
In September 18th, the Eighth World deepwater oil and Gas Summit and Exhibition Chinese 2014 held in Guangzhou. With the "offshore oil 981"deep water drilling platform, the first discovery of high yield field, the South China Sea oil and gas resource exploration and development became the focus of the whole. The northern South China Sea regional explorationtarget groups into a major discovery zone distribution shows that, thisregion has very broad prospects for exploration and development.
Located in the South China Sea, Guangdong Province are ideally placedahead in the development of the South China Sea oil and gas resources,is expected to become the most ideal exploration and developmentactivities in the South China Sea oil and gas "rear area". The experts believe that Guangdong province shipbuilding industry should seize thedevelopment of the South China Sea oil and gas resources to the deep sea opportunities, contributing to the progress of science and technology,the construction of deepwater exploration of marine power.
Opportunities, quietly sprouting
CNOOC Zhanjiang branch set up a team consisting of top domestic joint research institutes and experts in 2005, started work in geological study of the northern South China Sea area of natural gas, conducted a special science and technology research for 10 years. The companydeveloped the technology route of detailed for this major science and technology projects, from the beginning of the study of basic geology, to the analysis of source rock and reservoir conditions, the final effectivesearch to large exploration target.
At present, the study has been formed the deep zone reservoir geologyresearch platform with independent intellectual property rights, and madeno hydrocarbon, hydrocarbon zone less storage prediction andhydrocarbon source detection and many other international advanced technology achievements. Wang Zhenfeng said, the northern South China Sea area for oil and gas resource potential is tremendous,preliminary estimates there are 3.56 trillion cubic meters of natural gas reserves, can the construction of 30 hundred billion cubic meters gas field.
Through this study, exploration work has achieved encouraging results.CNOOC recently announced the "Lingshui 17-2" billion cubic meters of high quality and high yield gas field in one fell swoop found in the region.At present, the region has 5 wells common operations, of which 4 wellshave been completed tasks were found in gas drilling. Core data show that this is a super high permeability reservoirs. This is the Chinese energy companies a significant breakthrough in the field of Chineseproprietary natural gas exploration in deep waters, also fired the first shotof proprietary deep-water exploration
Prospect, to blossom
In the development, in 2020, "Lingshui 17-2 gas field" will be fully completed and put into production. According to the development plan,then output should reach 2500000000 cubic meters, in 2023 reached 5000000000 cubic meters, in 2030 reached 7500000000 cubic meters,economic life to 2033. Preliminary development idea includes 13 subsea wellhead and 1 hull platform, engineering scheme proposed is the laying of 2 underwater pipelines to shallow water transfer station, and then connect to Sanya by submarine gas pipeline north, finally transmitted to the Pearl River Delta and Hongkong.
DNV GL Group China Marine Operations Manager Zhang Guanghaothinks, marine equipment, will be in the South China Sea deep-water area plays an important role in the exploration and development of oil and gas resources in the future, including floating liquefied natural gas(FLNG), advanced marine equipment, has caused the oil companies andoil companies expressed interest, will carry out a feasibility study.
Heli, blossom
China shipbuilding enterprises have built the "offshore oil 981" deep water drilling platform, "offshore oil 201" deep water pipe laying ship and other high technology content of marine equipment, but still in marine engineering equipment manufacturing industry the third echelon. Wu Jiaming thinks, in the third echelon, the Pearl River Delta area shipyardsmarine equipment manufacturing and R & D level is far behind in the Gulf of Bohai and the Yangtze River Delta region. Compared with theshipbuilding industry in these regions, Guangdong province ship enterprise business focus focused more on shipbuilding, relatively fewmarine products, few marine products are mainly structures in shallow water areas such as manufacturing, jacket, platform supply vessel (PSV),adapt to the regional environment of the South Sea less.
Wu Jiaming said that the level of manufacturing superior geographical position and the relative backwardness of the marine equipment, the formation of a huge contrast, but also means that Guangdong ProvinceMarine manufacturing business has broad space for development.Southern China shipbuilding industry should face up to the gap, should be more to catch up, and strive to become the development of the South China Sea oil and gas resources in the "rear area".
