Gas output from Chindeveloped deepwater gas field exceeds 10 billion cubic me

The fact that the gas output from a China developed deep water gas field exceeds 10 billion cubic meters is a remarkable achievement.

I. Significance for Energy Supply

Increasing Domestic Energy Resources
   It helps to enhance China's domestic natural gas supply. With the continuous growth of China's economy and the improvement of people's living standards, the demand for clean energy such as natural gas is increasing. The large scale gas production from deep water gas fields can reduce China's dependence on imported natural gas to a certain extent, and improve the security of the national energy supply.
Meeting Regional Energy Demands
   The gas can be supplied to coastal regions and other areas with high energy demand in China. For example, it can support the development of industries such as power generation, petrochemicals, and urban gas in the southeastern coastal areas, promoting regional economic development.

Clean Energy Contribution
   Natural gas is a relatively clean fossil energy. Increasing the output of deep water gas fields is conducive to reducing the proportion of coal in China's energy consumption structure, thereby reducing emissions of pollutants such as sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, and particulate matter, and helping China achieve its carbon peaking and carbon neutrality goals.

II. Technological and Engineering Achievements

Deep water Exploration and Drilling Technologies
   Developing deep water gas fields requires advanced exploration and drilling technologies. China has made great progress in deep water seismic exploration technology, which can accurately detect the location and scale of gas reservoirs in deep water areas. At the same time, deep water drilling platforms and related drilling techniques have also been continuously improved, enabling drilling operations at greater depths and in more complex geological conditions.
Subsea Production System Technologies
   The subsea production system in deep water gas fields is complex. China has mastered key technologies such as subsea wellheads, subsea manifolds, and subsea pipelines. These technologies ensure the safe and efficient extraction, transportation, and processing of natural gas from deep water gas fields.
Engineering Construction and Project Management
   The construction of deep water gas field projects involves large scale engineering construction in complex marine environments. China has accumulated rich experience in project management, including the coordination of multiple contractors, the control of construction quality and progress, and the safety management of marine engineering construction.
